Modding HD6xx series to closed-back may fit the bill... my closed-back modded HD58X (Headphile zebrawood cups and Yaxi HD650 Alcantara pads) that can compete with my modded Purplehearts for low end insanity but are dark, smooth, and easy listening like the Porta Pros with Yaxi pads...some EQ required though to get the near Purpleheart subbass levels...

yeah im most likely getting the yaxi pads for the hd58x. thanks for that advice. did you put L+R foam under the grille instead of the pads? I mean to say if you didn't have the zebra cups would you do that? I would get the zebra cups but their cost is basically the same as getting nighthawks (~$200).

Wired Senheiser Momentum (M2) and NAD VISO HP50 has forward bass, neutral mids and rolled off treble (HP50 less rolled off treble).

I was looking at the visos but they seem to have a irritating angle with the headband and earpads which requires using a dremel and literally breaking a component to increase the angle of rotation of the pads/headbands.

Yes, that's how I had them before wanted to try the closed-back wood cups. Foam is thicker & denser than stock foam, didn't like it under the earpads - definitely keep stock foam under the earpads. The Yaxi Alcantara pads with Yaxi foam in the grilles will make sound darker, fuller, and a little more expansive. Needs some EQ, but really liked them EQd with the Yaxi pads & foam. Also looks cool...

And size comparison of opening between stock and Yaxi pads...

did you keep the stock foam under the grilles and layer the yaxi foam or remove the under grille foam and replace it with yaxi?

Just replaced stock foam with the Yaxi foam, didn't try adding Yaxi to stock. Now you got me curious... LOL

Currently I own a Mrspeaker Mad Dog headphone which I normally used for EDM music and I need advice on whether should I get a Massdrop TRX00? The Mad Dog is a very good headphone too so not too sure whether they would be offering similar style. Thank you in advance.

I decided to buy the Massdrop X Meze 99 Noir instead of the Fostex.

Guys what's the difference between the TH-X00 and the TR-X00?

I bought the TR Mahogonys on Friday and they were supposed to ship yesterday but nothing happened. No update today either. First buy from (Mass)Drop so I have no idea if this is normal.

The only difference between the TH and TR is that the TR has a removable cable and the TH does not.

If you don't get a shipping notification (be sure to check your order page on Drop.com since emails might be delayed/lost) by the end of today I would contact support and see what's up. In stock items should ship next business day but they might have been a little backed up from their Black Friday orders.

Thanks a lot. As expected, within 20 minutes of emailing support they realized they didn't bother to update me Shipping advice got sent today, shipper does not report receiving it yet. I hope I get them in time for the weekend!

I heard several vers of Mad Dog at a meet, and liked them all. Just never could find the charm in the Mahogany. Did you decide?

The mad dog is a good headphone considering the price and it comes with the alpha pad and xlr cable, but in the end i bought the Sony mdr z1r instead. I did also consider the th900 but the treble is too much for me to bear. So now i have to sell the mad dog to clear some space for the z1r.

Haven't heard the Sony, they have a great reputation. Enjoy!

I have the X00 PH (got them during their first drop) and just recently bought the HD6XX this Black Friday. I am a bigger fan of the X00, though I do like the HD6XX in certain areas--both of them are great cans for sure--but, I find myself looking for something better.

For those that currently own the X00, especially if you also have the 6XX, which other headphones of yours do you feel are superior and why?
