Blimey. How old are they?
I use this on the go, 3 hrs a day taking trains, buses, taxis, walking in Hong Kong. I sweat a lot and Im a Coach so I run a lot. This pair is like 1.5 years old.

Think I need new ear pads.
I think it’s time @jmills8, lol. The way your ear pads have worn doesn’t seem like they are real leather. I think I’m going to put some leather conditioner on mine to prolong the life of mine.

Hi, I want to ask is there any difference between blue, green and original th900? From previous page I read they all have same driver, someone said blue th900 has different tune-in, what about the green one?

Blue should have a different tuning. The rest (red, green, mk2 etc.) have the same tuning.

Do you know how the Blue tuning is different?

From my two Lawton-modified TH900s, my clear preference is for a slightly warmer sound for the TH900.

I haven't heard the blue version. Someone earlier in this thread mentioned that he bought the blue one.

I've been considering wasting money again. Looking at tube amps. Not sure what sound I'm chasing after. I think I've read that SS amps work best for the th900. I'm using IFI IDSD Micro BL at the moment, and will probably use it as a DAC if I get a tube amp.

Don't have much cash, missed out on an awesome deal with a used Woo Audio WA7 and kicking myself. Could be a good or bad thing.

Read a previous post that Schiit Valhalla sounds muddy with the th900.

Got interested in Woo Audio WA6 and read that it works well with low impedance cans but finding a used is rare it seems. Definitely can't afford the WA6SE new OR used. Not sure how I feel about the DarkVoice since some folks are saying the WA6 is better than the DV.

The ChiFi tube amps on ebay in the $200 to $300, from douk or nobsound, looks interesting but seems like a gamble.

If anyone got recommendations that'll be much appreciated. Or can convince me to stick to the IDSD BL that'll help for my sanity and wallet too. Much appreciated.
