olá :)   Em ingles / in english:   what store refering to? Most people will recommend:   ATH-50 Sennheiser HD-25 1 II Shure SRH840   Also, it would be useful to know the type of music you will listen and sound signature you're after, eg, big bass, lots of mids, etc...  ...

Hi again,   sorry to hear you walk out so underwhelmed :(   As for my quest, I don't have any other stores to audition them. My friend is buying the tma-1, so I'm gonna try those and order them if I like them. I'm considering cheaper alternatives, like the shure srh750DJ (almost half the...

well, came back from the store.   the only hd-25 they had were broken and had to be sent back :( The tma-1 was out of stock.   Came back without hearing any os them. Sorry I couldn't be of more help (for both of us).   OTOH, I'm leaning towards the hd25, as I think it would be...

I'm more or less in the same position as you and we listen to very similar stuff. Currently, after researching quaite a bit, I'm considering the senns hd-25 1 II or the aiaiai tma-1. I'm leaning towards the senns as I'm afraid the tma-1 will not be clear enough in the mids (acoustic/indie...

Thanks for the answers.   I'm gonna try out some tma-1 and see if I like the sound signature. If not, maybe the hd25 are the way to go... but I hear they are a bit too tight?   The phiaton's, I cant seem to find in europe....

Actually, I find that, for longer periods, I listen to the DT990's with some eq (slight highs rolloff), cos I get inconfortable by some sibilance (maybe a source problem). Thats why I was considering the tma-1's: slightly dark, with some highs attenuation, but good response to eq. Also, I like...

Hi (again),   I'm looking for some modern HP, and here's why:   I want to listen to music and have FUN. I dont care if it's coloured. For a more analytical listening, I have some mid-nineties DT990 600ohms.   I'm thinking it would be nice to have some portability for listening...

Another question: Will new earpads have a significant effect on sound. The ones in it now look kind of "smashed". Maybe I'll post some pictures...

I'm from Portugal. I saw the pads for sale on the Beyer UK site but they dont ship here. I'd like to continue using them cos they already sound better than anything I have ever heard (which is mostly cheap ear buds and a sony dj HF - v700?), so I dont know how really good they sound...to me...

Hi all, Nice to meet you all! I have a DT990 Pro 600ohm from the nineties (maybe 96-98). They costed about 200EUR back then and they really need new pads. They are (the pads) mostly flat and they have a kind of golden brown colour (I cant remember the original color anymore). Where can I...
