Same story here. I have an L to Straight from 'some portable amp' that I bought a long time ago. Glad I have it now.

I'm still using that 'wireless' contraption now and then, it's just practical.
 
The cable is one that came with some portable amp, probably the Corda Headsix, IIRC. Angled plug for the TMA-1 jack and straight plug for the Clip+ works well (since one can still push the volume buttons on the Clip+ that way).

Its taking so long for aiaiai to replace my tma-1s, i want them back so i can finnish my review soon ;__; i miss them so much now, they sounded amazing!

 

[treal512]

What happened to them?

 

[Pixelatedrobot]

I was an idiot and tried to see how far they bent so i twisted them so hard that the rubber paint chipped of a little. Don't get me wrong these headphones are very strong and even i after i bent them that far they sprung back to its original shape. I sent them back to aiaiai about two weeks ago because of that minor blemish ( almost unnoticeable blemish) because i like the matte paint finnish very much. Hopefully i will ge them this week. I think aiaiai are very helpful when it comes to minor scratches

 

[diodiel]

must be hard not having your tma1s next to you lol 
cant wait to get money for a cable rawr
 
 
EDIT: just ordered a pair of monster beats replacement cable on ebay coming from singapore cant wait! i hope its a perfect fit and authentic

Well, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered some TMA-1's. They should be in my hand before the weeks end. Thanks for all the quick responses everyone!

Now I need to tentatively start looking to sell my M50's and Eterna's.

Another comment on the comfort (for anyone that hasn't pulled the trigger yet). The past 4 days I have worn these headphones for a minimum of 6 hours straight per day. Not once have I had to adjust them because of discomfort. I don't understand it at all...there's NO PADDING on the headphone...But man...it just works.

 

[diodiel]

its kinda hurts after a while on the rear part of my ears. but the pain disappears fast anyways. maybe my ears just need to build some tolerance ^.^ im sure ill be keeping them for years until i could afford pro900 for home use or d7k. tma1 ftw on portables!

 

[lzboarder8]

That's really comforting to hear even more praise about the comfort. They are coming in today! I can't wait. Hope my expectations haven't grown too high.

I was just wondering what settings people are using to eq these bad boys?

I use foobar most of the time with these and occasionally the clip+.

I am just seeing if there is a better setting that others might be using.

Thanks

Well, I'm going to attempt to not be too excited, but I finally got my TMA-1's! Been using them for the past week. Just wrote my review here:

I won't clutter this thread with all that, but if you wanna read my impressions, check it out!
 
Moral of the story: I finally found THE headphones for me. My wallet may be sad now, but will hopefully thank me in the future
 
Thanks to everyone (especially MorbidToaster) for all the help you guys provided in my decision and my specific questions.
 
Yay!

Glad you like 'em.

Still my favorite portable that I've used to date.

Is it just me or do these not isolate much of anything because of the clamping force? Is there a trick/tip? I just got mine in the mail today. Listening now

I'd give them 7/10 Isolation. It is lower because they don't clamp as tight, but it's very much a double edged sword. If they clamped harder, they'd be just like the HD 25-1 II as far as comfort...Which is the reason I sold my 25s. They clamped way too hard to my head and are just impossible to wear with glasses.

TMA-1 is 10/10 for me as far as potable comfort goes.
