The Tribit XFree Tune look like a good deal, but I don't think they'll work for me.
They're not made for people with extra large heads, and the earpads aren't replaceable.

Had those once upon a time as well. Weren't bad, but didn't quite make the cut. Do you have a lead on a 2.5mm narrow balanced cable for these?

I have this cable and it works on the 1MORE H1707:

Try them. Well worth the money if you like to experiment with these relatively inexpensive headphones!

I might How would they compare to my DT990 Pro?

 

[nraymond]

I already own the 58X and Msr7b.. Both with balanced cables. Love em both. I was interested in the M650 when 1st released, but it didn't get much positive feedback. Really not any kind of feedback lol. How is it? It definitely fits my wants. I was hoping to come across an obscure headphone I'm not familiar with, from the Asian market.

I don't have the M650 but have been considering them for a while... there is this professional review from Brent Butterworth (who seems to never greatly dislike a headphone):

Their measurements page has some interesting info:

Including this graph comparing them to the Sennheiser HD 598 and HiFiMan HE-400i:

Regarding more obscure Chinese headphones I have, there's the Bosshifi B7, which is way too bassy with the stock pads but is good with velour pads, though to go balanced you'd have to mod them since the sockets on the cups are wired to allow you to put a single TRS cable into either socket and it connects both sides through the headband; the Urbanfun YBF-HBB013, which is good overall, a few treble peaks, but the big downside of them for me was the high clamp force for my XL head; and the OKCSC M2 wooden headphone, which sounds good but the big foam on-ear pads are a bit unusual, though they do help give them a very open sound.

Thanks. Do the pins fully insert into the cups?

They should. Those 2.5mm plugs look like the DIY type I use. They have the really long plug, which is what the 1More requires.

I had the DT990 Pro and I really liked the sound, but they were a little uncomfortable for me. These are so lightweight that longer listening sessions dont bother me at all.

Alright! I'll think about it a bit more

Kinda like the 2.5mm version of the 99 Classics. I think I have a cable that will work. Not sure I want to revisit the headphones though.

I'm on the search again...
Looking for wireless (bluetooth) closed over-ear headphones.
I'm a basshead, so the more bass, the better.
It'd be nice if the headphones accept Brainwavz earpads.
Also, I have an extra large head.
Any suggestions?

I did some Google searches, and found a couple of headphones that check all the boxes except for the ability to add Brainwavz earpads.

There's the COWIN E7...

...and the TaoTronics TT-BH22.
https://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-Cancelling-Headphones-Bluetooth-Cellphone/dp/B075CBHN9M

Both are wireless, should have plenty of bass, and fit extra large heads.

Do either of these look good?

 

[raccoon city]

I was all ready to order a pair of Cowin E7 Pro's, when I did a search for Cowin E7 on Head-Fi.
Apparently they're not that great, so now I have no idea what to get.

EDIT:
Now I'm looking at TaoTronics TT-BH060.

https://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-Cancelling-Headphones-Bluetooth-SoundSurge/dp/B07TWK4V1H

They can be used with Brainwavz earpads, but I'm not sure if they have enough bass for me.

 

[raccoon city]

I ordered the TaoTronics TT-BH060.

I also ordered this Bluetooth Transmitter:
https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Enjoyment/dp/B07MMSWY5B

It's not the best Bluetooth Transmitter available, but it may be the best under $25.

I'll let everyone know what I think of what I ordered when it arrives.

Hope they upgraded the sound compared to over a year ago. The ANC was good then, but the sound was dark, without detail and sparkle.

Just searched the entire thread but cannot see any recent recommendation for an ANC chifi headphones. I had the Sony which had great ANC but sold them because I did not like the sound signature. I got the Fiio EH3NC which I like the sound signature, but its ANC is absolutely rubbish (bad noise-canceling and worse sound when noise-cancelling is on). Looking at the high end market, I cannot find any ANC headphones that convince me. Am flying to the US week after next so need to get something so thought I'll get a cheaper temp solution until the 2020 models hit the market. Any recommendations?

If I don't like them, I might get these:

Though I am open to suggestions.
