I just use EQ to add bass to the 95X, works great

Removed my ESP/950 pads for the nth time to replace the black foam, which I had to rip out when I opened the cups to add some damping material. Good opportunity for sharing a picture of the ear-side dust cover. This is the very light thin foam I used in case others need it, it took some time to find the right one. Double sided tape in the pic is mine of course, original foam is glued to the baffle.

The 95X sounds great out of my Blue Hawaii I got a couple weeks ago, I read some peoples crackle when paired with high powered amps but mine sounds great. Takes EQ well.

Got some koss 95x's new in box recently, tried them for a bit and they're amazing sounding. With EQ even better. But they feel so frail... With my clumsiness i really cant keep m

I'm getting ready for a meetup and brought mine with a Stax adapter. Once you hear the 95X on a Stax amp you will be like "holy crap where did all this bass come from?".

The Koss amp has a hard drop of all frequencies below 200 hz

I find that it already has decent bass, but theyre definitely not closed back bass canons
But im just going to sell mine. Although i do have a buddy that recently got a hivex with a nice stax energizer... Tempting

Can you provide a link for the adapter, please?

Thanks!

I'm sending my youngest to uni abroad next semester, so it's a bit overpriced for me now. Maybe I get lucky like you...

New ESP950 and E/90 experiment, rechargeable 1.5 volt lithium batteries. I purchased several ebl 1.5 volt aa batteries and aa to c adapters. So far they work great and I will let everyone know how long they last until needing recharged. They charge very fast, about 2 hours and they recharge with usb cables.

Follow up on the above experiment:

Ran for about 4 hours, not bad. If i remember correctly when used with alkaline batteries that I got about five or six hours at most.
EBL suggests that the batteries improve after about three or four charges, and we shall see.

After recharging, the second run lasted over 7 hours, and that was only running until the red light blinked with the green one. Not bad.
