Not these, so far anyway. I want to try some of the modded versions from ZMF or Mr. Speakers. I would like to hear what can be done with them.

XXhalberstramXX. What are your thoughts on how the Mayflower mods changed these headphones.
BTW, sorry for my outburst yesterday. It is not usually my style. I typically take a measured approach to new gear. I give it time, put some hours on it, then make an assessment.
These, on first listen, were just so spectacularly bad that I took it out on my keyboard...and you folks. Again, sorry.
Harry, you didn't ask me, but pretty much everything I have listened to is better. I dug out a very old set of Soundmagic HP 100 headphones and did a quick A/B. I liked them better.
I tried with my HE 400 and 400i, they are better (much). K7xx, thxx, far better. Later I will find some of the other closely priced headphones from my collection and compare them.
I wonder if I just got a pair that is broken... yes they performed to the point that I think that they may be... broken.
Now this is just me and my tastes. But being around here for a long time, being a veteran of more than a few CanJams and local meets, I think I have some kind of handle of the kinds of sound that people generally like (very broadly). I am surprised, if my set is not broken, that there are as many positive comments as there have been here.
