There are too much connectors man. 2.5, 3.5, mini xlr, sennheiser type etc...

Yep, the good old days were really better. Just 1/4 inch and XLR.

They are like the some hifiman (2.5mm) but you have to watch out as some cables won't stay seated and won't lock in place, I ordered a cable that would fit the Hifiman's but did not fit the E-MU's.

The 2.5 mm Hifiman replacement cables do not work on the Teak, I have tried two and it seems that they are wired differently. They only aftermarket cables that are guaranteed to work with the Teaks are the Sennheiser HD700 cables like this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32966045047.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1dab4c4dppClAe.

So only one black ring connectors. 3.5mm Hifiman's are 2 black ring. I don't know the old 2.5mm ones.

I have Periapt, Venus Audio, and Dyson Audio cables and they work on the Teaks and my 400i and 560. The only problems with swapping cables that I've experienced is trying to use the HiFiMan stock cables with the Teaks. No idea why that would be.

If you try a Hifiman cable, you will put yourself in the realm of possibilities, while the HD700 cable is a sure thing.

Would you mind sharing what pads are you using? They don't look like the stock pads.

2.5mm. It was done by peterek on Etsy but he has since disappeared unfortunately

ZMF Eikons with attenuation ring from stock pads

I'm actually thinking of doing it myself. I have also modded Beyers too, actually I'm always modding stuff.
What I am thinking is using a dremel station to make a precise hole in the baffle but before doing that cut the white material with an exacto knife so when the dremel pulls then that material will come off clean.

Can someone take a pic of the connector on the inside for the 2.5mm connector on EMU Teak?

The E-MU Teak is a cleaner headphone throughout. Don't expect as much bass as the 99 Classics, because you won't be getting that. What you will hear on the Teak, though, is a clear, well-textured low-end response, with decent, but not tactile rumble. Transients are quicker on the Teak, with faster decay. You won't be getting that thick, mushy bass the 99 Classics is famous for. If you're a huge basshead, you might not enjoy the lows on the Teak.

Treble on the Teak is also more extended, with better-defined highs. You get greater sizzle on the E-MU; in comparison, the 99 Classics sounds darker and a lot more subdued in the higher registers. If you are used to the highs on the 99 Classics, you might find the ones on the Teak to be a little aggressive at first; however, if you allow your ears some time to adjust, such notions will be quickly expelled.

Overall, the Teak is the more defined headphone, with better clarity throughout. Depending on your aural preferences, you might find the Teak a more musical headphone, too. It's well worth the price premium over the 99 Classics, IMO.

Finally, on the topic of portability, the 99 Classics edges out the Teak.

Very nice comparison! Besides owning the 99's, I also own the TH-610's with the Lawton driver mod. If you have any experience with these, could you another comparo?

Thanks.

Pad rolling done. ZMF Eikons in lambskin win for me. Tried a bunch of Dekoni ones - perf leather, leather, hybrid, perf leather TH-900 - as well as the stock pads. All good, but I REALLY like the comfort/sound combo of the ZMF pads. Gonna try adding the Dekoni attenuation rings to see what it does to the bass, which is kinda tamed - fully there, extremely clear, but tamer than it was with stocks.

That is what I use, Eikon with Dekoni attenuation rings

Will be getting some Eikon pads, already have the attenuation rings used with Dekoni Perf Leather (not a huge fan)
