@BogdanUK Actually arrived at this solution myself perhaps a year or so ago haha. Don't do it. The padding is so generous you'll have to wear the headband on full extension. If you have a larger than smallish head, you're out of luck. After experimenting with the padding from the HD 650 and 600 I eventually came to the conclusion that no padding is the most comfortable. The TH900 are so light and the bare headband is wider than any padding I tried so it distributes the weight the most evenly across my head. I noticed hotspots from the padding alternatives after a while. The best solution would be if we could get our hands on the recently released TH1100/1000RP headband assembly as that incorporates a suspension strap. No clue whether it's available to purchase, though.
As for expectations of the bass with these, it's the sub-bass that earns these their reputation and not the mid-bass. I've not experienced any other headphones that can do what these do in its heft and rumble. Disregard whether this is your type of music or not, but give the track Aliens by Luke Lambert a listen and you should see what I mean at the 30 second mark.
