Price drop.

Sold elsewhere.

Congrats and nice find. Things like that don't happen like that over here in the UK much. Hope it's as simple as a bit of soldering. If it does need soldering and you are looking for someone to complete it, take them to a TV repair shop (most also know alot about speakers) I got some repaired...

I've had a similar situation with using most headphones, but for some reason the AKGs I have tried don't present the same problems of other makes. It could be observed that AKGs are noted for not having an exceptional low end frequency coverage, so this could be relevant? I say stick with...

Spend your 60 bucks on JVC RX900s, not extremely portable, but very nice bass extension and can be driven very easily.

Thanks for positive feedback Also, the idea is to provide information on headphones that many people consider great, but giving information about the negatives of them too, which other people might consider highly relevant while evaluating different models. For example, I would not of...

As a way of providing information about peoples' favorite headphones, how about we highlight areas that we think could be improved with them. Sennheiser HD25 - Feel uncomfortable after prolonged listening periods, soundstage too narrow, stock cable too short. After owning 3 different pairs, 2...

That was the single area that let the 340s down for me, the low end. I don't think any modding will bring them to the level of bass response, of modern headphones. Still filling in the cups did tighten the overall sound and appear to add punch for me...easy mod to complete and adjust. The...

If you've got a pair of RX900s arriving next week, don't worry, your 'bass-ship' will be arriving soon. Well worth completing TopPop's mods.

could this be the first known RX900 re-cable? Warrior05: I put some steel wool behind drivers as filling (seal with tissue to avoid contact) brought out the topend quite well. Is it possible that production of the RX700/900 has actually ceased, as it's been months since anywhere worldwide...

Sennheiser HD25 for me best value all round headphone.

^ Exactly my opinion too. Once modded the boomy bass is replaced by a reasonably tuneful bass, with a more focused and direct sound.

HD25 are a great headphone, snubbed wrongly by many because of their popularity among DJs.

Wow a quarter behind a $1000 headphone! The irony Seeing that thread makes me feel the steel wool is a good solution for the 900's top end issues and if you are skeptical, try it, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I am. It really has altered these phones into a very well balanced pair...

Ok for those interested here's what I have completed: 1. Removed sticky felt completely from driver cover, including holes directly above driver. Very tedious and tricky...but worth it. Please take care as the driver is very close to plastic cover and contact is easily made. 2. Placed some...

I haven't had the chance to sample the RX700 yet, but the RX900 are well described above. Very modern, easy to drive, bass orientated headphone with wide soundstage. There are aspects of the 900s that I found and still find difficult to adjust to. The topend activity was simply non existent...

Any word on anyone completing the first known RX900 recable and its affect?

Thank you very much vvanrij. Interesting to see the Pro900 is above the ED9 which costs much more.
