Thanks a lot, very helpful!

  Interesting just this year a Denon HP2000 headphone is being introduced with the same 12Hz-24kHz 50mm driver capability... and a rebranded M-Audio headphone body.  I'm surprised these headphones have seen little action with Akai and M-Audio from the community.  Maybe Denon can have a go at making it work.

3 versions of the same can...damn. I missed clicking that link last time

Interesting that since the Denon announcement I've seen no new references to its launch on the web. I'm still loving my M-Audio HD-50's, though.

Same here.

Does anyone know the size of the ear pads?  Inner diameter (or height) and depth are what I'm interested in.

Approximately 54mm x 45mm inner diameter and 23mm deep.​

Thank you.

54?! That's Momentumous. :mad:

With my J River Media Center I use the Parametric Equalizer to bump up 12Hz (+3dB), 20Hz (+20dB) and 50Hz (+3dB) and the bass sound is spectacular when combined with the FiiO E10K !

I'd like to ask again about the bass vent mod on these headphones. It's been partly described and alluded to, but I can't find any solid complete instructions on how to do it.

Cover the pole piece open 2 baffle board vents on opposite sides, line with aluminum tape and they bump very hard

You have to cut those left and right holes or are they already there below that fabric ring or whatever and you just cut to expose them? I don't get where you put the foil.

 very carefully ..yes. The aluminum mod is not needed as the venting mod will increase sub-bass. Also cover the hole in the middle of the magnet backing. so open 2 and cover one

Did you drill them? I know it's fabric, I wonder if poking it with a sharp object will yield symmetrical holes. I wonder what it'd sound like with all that fabric removed?

 I used a small very very small pick and gently dug out two holes. with all the holes the bass will flutter and you will have horrible sound. Too much air makes minute instabilities in the diaphragm that are very audible. More than 2 opened and the pole covered will make it muddy

So the holes are already there under a thin layer of some kind of grey fabric (from what I see in the pictures) and you just expose two on both sides?
