Some time after having joined the drop, I somewhat fear that the pads will be (way) too small for me.
 
Does anybody have a Shure SE440 as well as TH-X00 and can take a photo of both headphones next to each other so that one can see the pads?
 
I'd highly appreciate it.

I've been comparing the mk3 to TH-X00 and think the mk3 are better call me a crazy person I don't care.

Everything is about personal preferences in the audio world

I've owned the X00 since the first drop and have been running off a colorfly C4, whilst i really like the x00 I've never been blown away by them.
Got a Chord Mojo at the weekend and wow am blown away by both.
Whilst I like the C4 i guess the synergy was just not right with the X00.

Anyone here felt the need to EQ their X00?Right now with my M50x,im using a V shaped EQ in foobar,to get the sound that i like.Otherwise,they sound pretty boring to me.I don't know if that will be the case with the X00's.I guess when i get them i will see for myself,just wondering if someone has done some EQ,and how would you go about it.

You won't know how or even if you will want an EQ until after you have been using the X00 for at least a few days to allow your brain to adjust (brain burn-in).

If it helps any...

TH-600 --> Lawton Angle Pads --> TH-X00







The deformation on the top left of the angle pads is from my glasses, so you can tell which I use most

Another vouch here for Lawton pads. Did the Lawton Level 1 (pads and tune up kit) and by far the pads are much more comfortable to my ears than the stock TH-600. The sound changes a bit but to my ears it is welcome and the comfort out weighs anything else. I can wear these for a really long time now.

Would really like to try and compare vs stock TH-X00, been trying to buy them for a while now.

Edit: I have TH-600s

I can't justify the price though.

I can't justify the price though.

I can understand that. All I'll say is, If I had to do it again, I would absolutely get the pads after my experience with them. The material even feels better.

But it's very subjective so I don't want to suggest you get them, and then you don't like them. BUT if you won't blame me,... Then yes... get the Lawton.

The TH-X00 pads looks pretty much like the J-Money pads I have on my Denon AH-D2000's, which have plenty of room for my biggish ears and feel fine for hours and hours of listening at a time.

drop is back !

I would at least wait until the warranty period has end before modding the detachable cable.

I did the detachable cables for my T1, DT-990 premium, TH-600 and also a friends T1 and TH-900 a few weeks after I got them.  I'm one of the few who likes the SMC connector so there is not much modding to do with the TH-600/900, really quick and easy.  The T1 and DT-900 took about 2 hours to do, need to use a dremel to make the holes large enough for the mini-XLR jacks or in the case of the DT-990 a whole new hole in the right housing.

I dont really have the tools to do the mod.If I really need it or I broke the cable accidentally, I would find someone do it for me lol. Really scare if I break it the first time

I can relate to this, first thing I did was get a good soldering station and practice on junk stuff just to learn how to apply the heat, flux and new solder.  Practice a little and you should have a lot of confidence to do other tasks.  My first big project was building a BH Crack, took me about 17 hours, did it as a project with my GF and drinking wine, one of the best nights of my life.
 
As for doing cable and other mods there is a thread just for mods, really helpful info there and if you ask questions many there will give you detailed help since they have done what you are trying to do.  I'm going to give a big thanks to @PETEREK, great source of info and help.
 
Another great project was building a SennGrado, great tool to learn how using dynamat, sorbothane and felt will affect the sound along with how pads also affect the sound.
 
I'm not one who is looking for upgrade so much as just the different sounds that DACs, amps and headphones can have so my choices might not be applicable to some.
