Anybody knows where you can find replacement of this foam ring? Searched but seems literally unobtainium.

So I ended up buying a TH900 Sapphire Blue (anniversary tuning). Tried them with quite a few pads.. Yaxi, ZMF Eikon, Ori hybrid, perf leather. Found my endgame.. TH900 anni + ZMF solid leather Eikon is my ultimate headphone. Honestly.. it just sounds better than anything I've ever heard to date. I had a chance to compare them to the Verite Open, HD800S, Meze Elite, and many many others... they beat everything I've ever heard, even the Susvara (they sound more natural, fuller, have WAY better bass)... crazy.. my next journey is going to be the TH909 and Denon D9200.. Tried them with the Dekoni attenuator rings but prefer them without. Not sure if anyone here feels so good/strongly about the TH900 or if it's just me who thinks this is the best discovery I could've possibly made in audio.

Best headphone to keep.

I keep hearing good things about th900 with zmf pads .. might have to give them a shot. But stock pads for me already sound excellent

Well I’ll add th900 and hd800S are both complimentary musts. Of course preference may vary in order of importance.

I love the TH900 Mk2 so much:heart_eyes: They are just so fast and lively compared to other headphones. And so open and airy with such an impressive soundstage for a closed back. And of course the bass. Sitting here now listening to Touch Yello through the Chord M Scaler/TT2 is pure heaven.
It is and I had many headphones costing 4 times the cost of a th900.

the Th900 sound amazing with Call of Duty and the new MW2, at least in beta. Its releasing in a few weeks, OCT 28th. The Nighthawk sounds amazing with battlefield, not so much with COD though for some reason where the TH900 sounds brilliant! The txt file is for Equalizer APO, just import it. I love deep base with gaming and my EDM, like your at a underground basement rave where the sound is reflecting off a square room full of people.

Also with the bass cranked up the way I like it using Equalizer APO, this EDM song sounds amazing!

It shows No filter found on the Text file when trying to import to APO. Any ideas?

I think the stock pads sound the best. The ZMF just adds a little more comfort without adversely affecting the overall sound or bass slam.

Its the preset bass and high boost 2 basically, with some added DB at 4k region. Here is SS... Most people im sure would think its obsurd to listen to this but i am a techno and EDM addict and it sounds amazing to me along with the added fun while playing FPS games. Everything sounds so impactful like your listening to actually speakers with giant subwoofers . It also sounds amazing with the Nighthawks as well, the same preset but I mostly did this preset for the TH900.
