Quote: I didn't want to believe it, but these really do get better sounding after listening to them for a few hours.  My initial response of them (somewhere in here) had them sounding muddy and very bass heavy.  Now they sound a lot more clear and there is much less bass.   I haven't modded...

I love the vmoda cable.  It feels just like it is just a piece of fabric or rope with no wire inside.  It has no memory to it and just hangs very naturally.   I never thought I'd enjoy a cable so much.  

I can't get these to be comfortable.   With both the stock pads and 840 pads, too much pressure is pushing on my ears.  I will admit my ears stick out pretty far from my head. :dumbo: Putting on just the 840 pad itself, my ear pushes past the fabric backing.     Any solutions to this?    ...

Oh I knew what you meant, but the stock pads were bothering my ears, so there isn't much point to keep them on if I had better replacements.     I'll keep myself from opening it up for a bit.  

Just installed the 840 pads.  I was expecting a struggle.  On the first pair it took three tries.  On the first try I got the first side on, then moved it around and got the other side on and thought 'That was easy!' till I realized the first side fell off.  Haha.  On the third try, I got some...

Finally got my t50's.  This is my first decent pair of headphones.  I haven't listened through any proper headphones in probably a decade.  Its been iphone and shure IEMs or running phones.  My car has a decent system so that is that.  Let me start off by saying I am far from an audiophile, and...

So I am diving head first into hi-fi audio and decided to buy everything at once.   A week ago I had nothing of any quality other than some Shure 100 dollar IEMs.   Now my T50rp setup is almost finished!    I have tons of mod materials (special thank you to BMF!), vmoda cables (figured...

I ended up getting a used O2 amp from the classifieds here.  Now I need to figure out what DAC to get.   Probably ODAC, but I'll look around.  

What do you guys use for an amp for the T50RP?   I'm looking for the $100-150 price range USB DAC/Amp.  I don't want to bother working with my Audigy 2.    So far my over budget interests are the Yulong U100 ($225) and the Audinist HUD-mx1 ($179).  I was looking on the for sale section here...

BMF:  I am getting a message that I reached my daily allotment of 2 PM's a day, even though I sent them yesterday.  I am rethinking the damplifier (dynamat alternative) right now because they want 24.99 for shipping, when the product only costs 8.99 and weighs less than 2lbs.  I will send them...

Thanks for the reply!     What is the purpose of the tape around the edge?  I am still confused about that.   I happen to have some shopping list problems as some items can't be bought in the US.  It seems I can not buy Newplast.  Should I get plasticine (150g for 10 bucks) or try my hand...

First post here.  I am picking up a pair of T50's this week and because of my nature I have done hours of research before any purchase.   I've spent many hours in this thread alone after I finally started reading about the T50's.  No idea how I came to them, I think the Ortho thing intrigued...
