Might just be my headband. Reports are some headbands seem to work better than others. The pocket thing is only when I'm outside. Inside its fine anywhere on my person or even just walking around.

I've had my H05 for about 2 weeks now. Works perfectly fine indoors. I was able to walk into another room in my apartment and still get stable audio. Outside though if your 5'10 or taller and don't keep your phone in your left front pocket (or closer to the left earcup) you'll have some...

I know its an old post. But I tested it against the TMA-2's I already own and it was spot on

1) 154,263 2) 196,874 3) 199,999

  The best way to save money with these would be to get the cheaper headband. The soundstage for your configuration would not be too wide and the comfort of the earpads depends on how long your listening sessions will be. I found with the E1 that after I removed the headphones or had to adjust...

My answers are in a random order for some reason.   3. If you have the money I would look at the aiaiai TMA-2's. They come in a few different configurations but the S4 driver is great for Modern genres of music Pop,House/ED,Hip-Hop. They also work for Jazz and Rock but I don't have an ear for...

  I use an old a cable from my old Monster Inspirations and it fits with one set of my TMA-2s (my aiaiai cable has a problem with the wiring and I too lazy to send it back for repair/replacement). The click mechanism is so you don't yank the cable out and loose sound when DJing more than...

  The H3 is really comfortable (for me anyway). For me the H1 (and probably H2) has more clamping force and the padding on the actual head band is minimal. The drivers work really well without an amp from just a mobile phone or laptop (they were designed to run from pretty much anything). I...

For anyone interested I got the E1 earpad and have had it on my s3 for about a day. This is my mini review:   Comfort While the e1 earpad is not as comfortable as the e4  earpad I'd say that if positioned correctly they are comfortable. You get some discomfort when you take them off as your...

Thanks. Maybe it was someone else on the thread who bought all the parts for the tma-2 not yourself. I have read reviews of people who have paired the guru earpad e5 with the s3 and they have said it gives a more neutral sound. I know there in more than just the material that affects the...

Hey music 18 another question. Have you tried the S3 with the e1? If so how do the compare to the s3 with e5? The reason I ask is my ears get hot with the e4 pads on hot days. I feel like the on ear would be the coolest option and since they are both micro fiber they might share a sound...

Yeah the s3 with the e4 is the studio setup If you know what page the mod is on that would be handy ;). I'll have a look through the thread anyway. The mids don't bother me too much as they only affect a couple of tracks and I don't do critical listening on them. They're my travel and work...

Yeah lowering the bass a little would be what I'm after. I might try the e5 pads (there was a mistake my post I have the e4 pads at the moment). I don't think i ant to mod the drivers just yet.

I have the  6400 and some studio monitors which sound similar to KRK-Rockits. I haven't mixed with them but I'd say that the bass doesn't extend into the lower frequency's as far as the monitors. I'm also not sure what genre's of music your mixing but the 6400 wouldn't be a replacement for...

So my TMA-2 arrived today I got the S3 with the S4 pads. So far I'm enjoying the sound (I should probably follow their instructions and burn them in). So far I've found in some RnB tracks the vocals although clearly separated from the instruments seem a bit recessed (it sounds kind of like a...

So I picked the 6400 up a week ago and they are a great headphone. I'm by no means an audiophile but I probably spend 8-10 hours a day listening to music (at work, and travel to and from on public transport). I mostly listen to Hip-hop, but also listen to DnB, some punk rock (pennywise, frenzal...

IEMs make my ear canals itch after a while. I've tried a few different types of silicon tips and comply foam. I don't have any issues with the Sony's. I probably have a 10 minute break every 2 hours.

The bass isn't necessarily a bad thing. It was just more of an observation.   If I run them through my Fiio E12 with the bass boost switched on I quite like the sound it evens out the bass a bit adding more to the sub bass. I listen to a lot of hip-hop and I find it gives you the nightclub...

Just got these bad boys. Overall I like them. Very comfortable, one thing I notice is that the bass sounds a bit boomy. I read some reviews that said something similar about a mid bass hump and flabby bass but I didn't really understand what they were trying to describe until I tried them on.  ...

So after a few shipping issues my MDR-1a's have arrived and they are well worth the wait. The earpads are deeper and wider that the inspirations and the headphones are much lighter so in the comfort stakes they are spot on.   In terms of sound I think they beat the pants off the inspirations...

1 = 6.3mm 2 = SMC 3 = 3.5mm 4 = XLR

So I went with the MDR-1A. They should arrive tomorrow. I'll update the post after a bit of listening in case anyone is interested in how they perform.

Thanks guys, those will definitely stretch my budget, I'll have to try and find them on sale, unless you know where I can get a good deal on them. 

  All I need are some recommendations... maybe I should rephrase my question and say I want light, closed headphones with clamp force and sound profile similar to Monster inspiration with larger ear cups. Would that be more helpful?

I currently have Monster Inspirations (ANC) for the office. I like the sound profile however the shape of the earcups and their weight mean that after a few hours they become uncomfortable.   I mostly listen to music from my mobile phone with no amp (and would prefer to keep it that way...
