Just grabbed them and breaking them in. I'm usually an on-ear sorta guy but these seemed pretty nice for the price. Gasman's right about it working really well with Jazz. McPatD Wasn't kidding about the treble though - stuff can be piercing. Pairing it with an E6, E11, or E17 seems to offset...

Been running these with the E17's myself, optical for both my PC and PS3 - pretty damn great. I don't find I have to use the hardware EQ since I don't find it hard to hear one thing over the other (if that makes any sense). Seriously considering the SE's because the damn long coiled cable makes...

Breaking in a pair myself - hoping to use them as a closed back commuting pair. Man, you guys weren't kidding about the clamping. Velour pads should arrive next week.

Quote: Ditto. The DJ100s alone don't seem a compelling reason to get the E9. Though I do have a pair of AKG K240s which seem to be a little hungrier for power. If they pair well I might seriously consider it. 

@Tangster: >ATH A700X Damn, those things are beasts. I take it back, that looks closer to being a helmet.   Allegedly the M50 pads are a suitable replacement. I'm more in the market for a velour solution...

@Tangster: Mine's in competition with my Grado sr60i's for most uncomfortable pair. Perhaps the most damning for it is the thing's weight - machined metal housing and coiled cable. It's sturdy, but damn does it feel like putting on a helmet. It's finally winter here so pads become a feature...

Got myself an E17 and out of the box it didn't seem like it agreed with the DJ 100s. I slept on it and re-examined the E17 and it turns out by default gain was set to 6db. Setting it back to 0db seems to have fixed it. Now several episodes of my shows, a movie, and some hours of listening later...

Just posting to say thanks for the tips, especially for the Q68LW. Gets colder here up north and a closed, on-ear solution that's hat friendly is a little tough to come by. These fit the bill except they're not very glasses friendly :V   Out of the box the things were pretty anemic sounding...

Just got my old RMA'd pair back, and now it has an L-plug :V They even shipped it back with another pouch. Now to mod the other pair.

Found that I had an old pair of headphones (Philips SHN5500) with pleather pads approximately the same size as the portapros, so I decided I'd give them a shot. Pretty damn thick, and I think the way the pads recess from the inside sorta creates the bass lens effect jgray91 outlined in his post...

Quote: Depends on if you set the output to headphone or line-out/speaker on your audio settings. Usually when you map the jack to a headphone profile it runs the signal through some built in amp, though these things are generally low quality. If you've got Realtek onboard sound, go to the...

Challenge accepted. I find it appalling that Canadian BBs aren't carrying the clip zip yet. Only now did they choose to unload the Clip+ and Fuze+.   As for the E6, neither of the bass boost options are particularly good - both muddy up the sound - so I still have some use for the E11. Will...

@boogienights: Looks neat - don't need to quarter mod my original pads. My only concern is stuff getting in the drivers or something. What's your experience with that?

Well, picked them up and haven't been listening to them too long but I can say this: I do prefer the step volume control over the E11's dial :V I know I'm probably going to be eaten alive for that comment.   I've experimented with my favorite tracks and yeah, I could distinguish right away...

Well, it looks like the E5 and E6 restocked at my local shop. Been rockin' the DJ100s with an E11 but I'm looking for something a little more transportable and sizable as the clip+.   If it were a toss up between the two, should I get the E5 because it pairs well or the E6 for the added...

@WAYNENUMM: Something about these phones that attract curious folk.   Dig the KSC75's, too. So much that I bought two :V  I've made 'em my jogging/handheld gaming phones - the Kid Icarus: Uprising tracks sound fan-fricking-tastic and do the music more justice than the 3DS speakers.   I...

Got my second pair after I had the other RMA'd - straight plug version having jack problems, go figure. Maybe because my worn-in pair didn't clamp as hard, but I find them putting pressure along the top of my ears, pushing them onto my glasses. Heat wave ain't helping the situation  so I gotta...

Nabbed these buggers when they went on sale over at CanadaComputers and at first I didn't really think much of them. I found it strange that I really had to drive up my PC's volume settings to get anything out of them. As per the recommendation in this thread (and, well, everywhere else) went...

Thought I'd join to say this thread is fantastic. Wouldn't have gotten my (what I consider now to be) reference pairs without it. Still on the hunt for a HTF600 I can buy locally - I'm a brick and mortar kinda guy.
