Wow.  These look like the headband off of the NAD HP50 combined with the cups of the Sennheiser Amperior. Not a look I ever expected to see. lol

Okay, all opened up. Unfortunately the driver seems to be glued into the white plastic thing. Not sure if I want to attempt to remove it or not...

Here's a low quality pic:
 

 
There's a weird solid metal thing in the headphone cup as you can see. Not entirely sure what it's for.
 
EDIT: @new reformation
 
Headband isn't the weird square shape of the hp50 though (thank goodness

). I'd say it's closest to the mikros 90 headband.

Nope, searched around but no luck.

The heavy metal thing embedded in the cups is likely something to help control resonances, it's a mass loading thing. I found one in something once also

 

[Bark Snarly]

Hmmm, interesting, never seen something so thick used for that before. I might grab another pair and see if messing with the white plastic cover on the drivers can open up the sound a little.

The discount is working in NSW but not Victoria.

 

[Xtralglactic]

At least Victoria has proper audio shops with showrooms..noisy motel for example..

 

[gikigill]

So if next week's lunch I'll ask Billy from Noisy Motel to set up a shop there too☺

Does addicted to audio have a NSW branch? Because they're fantastic, tonnes of equipment to check out in-store too.

So, I picked up a pair of these last night... Was a little nervous but they are pretty darn nice...

Solid little cans with great balance. I changed the pads with a cheap pair of Kmart headphones which seems to stop a little bit of the stuffiness and am now stretching them out a little (big head...)

Initial sound impressions are great balance, nothing missing tho not pressing out details. My initial thoughts would be that I prefer it to the takstar pro80's tho I have yet to do any ab-ing...

 

[gikigill]

Anyone try the over ears?

 

[Bark Snarly]

There are over ears? I might be game to try them out.

Nice find! These look a lot like the Pioneer SE-MJ561BT headphones:


RRP: 8000 Yen

DSE is probably using the same OEM : )

 

[gikigill]

Holy moly!

Its the exact same thing.

 

[Bark Snarly]

Wow, nice find!

Definitely either based on that or using the same OEM. Would like to see these cans released in the gold colour, looks quite pleasant. Would be nice to get a different colour for the pair I'm going to try modding too.
