I'd say it's average, not painful but still good enough that you wont notice it on your head after a while.

I'm also getting a bit annoyed with how the headband starts digging in to the top of my head after about 20 minutes. Has anyone tried putting a piece of foam or something up there to help with this problem?

If it's really a concern, buy a extra headband for Beyerdynamic headphones and wrap that around it. The Beyer headband is the most comfortable there is, and is a snap-on job, so can be put on almost any headphone.

Still waiting... Hopefully in the next week or so, otherwise I won't be able to try them until end of October (long research trip coming up). Nice to see so many new DX1000s owners round here lately. Perhaps it's time for a DX1000 amp registry thread!

best,

Use the power of your credit card company if they won't play ball.

I used cash in my account they charge exorbitant fees when using a credit card..... they really have my balls in a vice.

Is the rattle when you move the phone around or when it's playing music?

 

[Skylab]

That is a very important question. I may know what the issue is, depending on the answer.

Just placed my order in pricejapan and was told out of stock but will get and be shipped with 2 business day. Excited!

No, there is no audible presence of rattling while playing. Only when you shake the phones while they are off your is head is the rattling sound noticeable. Do note that the sound is only resonating from the right cup, to me it sounds like when you drop your cell phone a few too many times. However these have not been dropped.
