Hey, well the cheap pads, that I replaced on my PX100's, crumbled away, when I attempted to use them, earlier this week. Went on Amazon, and was looking for some new pads. There were many obscure, "off-brand", foam pads, on Amazon. I did find the Yaxi pads, which were $12, in all kinds of cool...

Good stuff, I will keep that product in mind. Although it sounds like it was a wrestling match, lol! If the original headband padding was peeling off though, yeah just peel it all off!! The headband replacement, looks quite comfortable, good amount of padding to it. The wool one that I got...

Sweet, I have seen that cover before. Couldn't find it at the time. What is the brand and model info? Your looks thicker, with more padding than mine, kinda jealouzzz.

Thanks for the recommendations, definitely going to keep these two pads in mind, for the future. I really like my MSR7, even got a wool cover for the headband, that gives a little extra cushhhh, for that infamous hotspot. (After bending the headband similar to the way Tyll did, in the...

Thanks big time for your suggestions, in this post. It has some very helpful recommendations. I am going to check out these, "God-Tier Earbuds", no doubt. Noticed that the VE Zen 2.0 is among these titans, interesting, it is a strong contender for me.

Sounds good, thanks for the input. I will definitely take a look into the M2S Pro, with the 150 ohm driver. I have a good amp, but it is a bit clunky and heavy. Yet it can do the job. A major purpose of these portable earbuds is the "on-the-go" aspect, of their form factor, (plugging it straight...

Cool. I did look into both the Smabat M2s Pro, and the M0. Confused, on Aliexpress, I saw a 40Ω impedance, for the M2s pro, and a 20Ω impedance, for the M0. There is an M2s Pro version with 150Ω that sounds better than the standard one? Also a "Super driver" or something for the M2s Pro...

Oh man, that is good to know. My stock pads still have life left in them. (Have to be more careful with them, knowing that). But when they die, it seems like it is going to be a big pain. Hopefully there are some good aftermarket options, (I will have to read this thread more, google online...

Hello, I'm looking for an upgrade, from my current earbuds. They are the Audio Technica ATH-CM707. I enjoy these, but there could be room for improvement: Bass (no doubt), would love a bigger soundstage, and more treble sparkle, more treble quickness. Have been browsing around, don't want to...

The thing about the MSR7, is that it was carefully tuned, for use with the stock pads. Many people have tried different pads, (such as HM5), yet they sounded bad. I have not tried anything different than stock. You should try to find an oem replacement, or something as close to it as possible...

Audio Technica ATH-A900X Huge soundstage, very comfortable, articulate yet smooth sound signature, good bass, great timbre, very durable beast, Love it. Good gaming headphones as well.

Cool, so they are authentic MSR7's, 100%. That is good to know, I was worried about buying a fake. Because I like to buy used headphones, on Ebay. (Mine turned out to be authentic, after some investigation of the pictures, and other physical cues). I agree they look very good, in either color...

That is interesting, I also own an original MSR7. The build quality is not on the level of the ATH-A900X, but it is still good, imho. The MSR7 generates more creaks, and it is made in China, versus Japan. Yet factories in China can make products with excellent build quality. Although Chinese...

That's a letdown, no doubt. Strange because I have had the complete opposite experience, with AT headphones. Audio Technica is one of the brands, known for good build quality, in general, I would say. The one's in my possession, (circa ~2012-2019), have been superb. My pair of ATH-A900X, bought...

Right, I use my PX-100's. At home mostly, what can I say. They are great headphones, and I enjoy them. They have a useful application, for my listening. Actually, I don't listen to music, when exercising. It was a curiosity, maybe jogging outside, for around one mile. Would've done that maybe a...

Interesting, I was debating whether I should exercise with mine. Like jogging around the neighborhood or something. But after reading some threads about the Koss Porta-Pro, some people were claiming that their headphones would suffer from a shorter lifespan. Deterioration, or sweat getting into...

Cool, the Yaxi pads seem to be a popular choice. I will try those out, once my stock ones deteriorate.

Yeah, the headphones are far from me now, at the moment. You are right, I did some research last night, and those counterfeiters man! Some of them looked very very close. You had to look for tiny imperfections in the plastic, that real AT's wouldn't have. About the drivers though, physically, I...

Hey, thanks allot for the detailed info. Yeah, I have seen those pics from Audio Heaven. Unfortunately, these headphones are thousands of miles away from me. I do not want to push the seller, to unscrew the drivers, to look at the internals. Thanks for the offer, to check the electronics and...

Can someone please help me? Was wondering if these are real or fake MSR7's? The seller said he got them from Amazon LLC, in 2017, but I know there was counterfeiting going on, from private Amazon sellers, during that time. I am very interested in owning the real MSR7 headphones, but don't want...

Great video. It gives an outsider to Japanese culture, JVC, (specifically Victor Studio), a more in-depth perspective. For a fan of JVC, and Japanese audio products, this was a real treat. You can tell, that the JVC HA-MX100-Z is a serious headphone. Alot of time, heart, and soul went into the...
