I've never thought they were harsh up high, just very transparent. I'm middle aged though and I might not be as sensitive to the highs as I once was. A warmer sounding tube amp might soften the highs but the main reason for me is the mids. I think a V or U shaped headphone or speaker for that matter, can benefit from midrange bloom in most tube amps. With these cans, you probably would want a transformer coupled or hybrid, unless you have the money for a higher end OTL like the Zana Deux.

Interesting. I don't typically listen for long enough periods to fatigue anyway - I usually listen all day, but take them off and on again throughout for various things. I'm about 34, so I think I might be getting close to desensitizing as well.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was always really smitten by the Woo WA7 and the tube PSU. I might end up going that route.

Good luck with whatever you go with.

Thanks!

Any verdict on the pads? I'll need to swap them out as I just purchased that emerald green TH900MK2 I was speaking about earlier.

I want to get acquainted with them before I start any heavy modding, but prefer real leather. I gather the Dekoni TH-900 lambskin pads keep the original signature as much as possible.

Any thoughts?

You tend to over thing. Experience will give you the answers.

Well, you're not wrong there. I've got a handful of hobbies that I go balls to the wall with. You should see my shoe collection...

Couldn't help noticing your signature though - pot calling the kettle black, anyone? (I joke)

I buy but not think much.

How bad is the isolation and peakage with the default pads ?

Is it gonna bother someone sitting 0.3 meters away from me ? (right passenger while driving the car), the car nosie while moving is about 72dB and I will be listening up to 98dB

4 yrs no issues in crowded stand room only trains. In a office everybody can hear.

How loud is the train ?
and is there a solution to minimize the leakage with pads or mods ?

Not loud but people are noisier on a train than in a office. I play it loud in trains no issues and I use an amp.

Denon 9200 has more isolation. Beyer 1770 the closed one , has even more isolation.

so it's related to the cup itself and can't be fixed with pads swap

I want the fostex because I can get the "Renew" vesion on amazon for $1100

The beyer don't sound as good I guess.
