^^ +1. The dog pads are darker. I'm one of the weirdos who like a really dark signature sometimes. But most everyone else will prefer the Alpha Pads.
Thanks for advices
just ordered hoping no tax !!
Voicing aside, the Alpha Pads bring improvement in pretty much all aspects.
I tried the Dog Pads with my HE-4 (they fit perfectly on the hifimans, for those wondering) and the treble response was funky.
The Alpha Pads are technically better, more comfy and less dark than the Dog Pads. They don't fit as well and give the Hifimans a strange look but that's a non-issue for me considering the pros.
The Alpha Pads still shift the voicing towards darker sound but less so than the Dog Pads and, with the 4s, it's quite a welcome change
What would Alpha Pads do for the HE-500?
Nothing, they wouldn't fit (At least I don't believe so)
This thread will do wonders for them though...
Are the HE 500's more detailed and transparent than the MD's?
Yes. Exactly. How else than via PayPal in that section? The only reason I haven't sold my E9 or O2 there so far is that I don't know how to do it without getting swindled. Most sellers ask for PayPal, I figured I'd have to as well.
Hey guys,
I had a random question about my newly acquired Mad Dogs which are awesome, by the way. I noticed that before I picked up my JDSLabs DAC that the headphones were free from bass distortion. However, as soon as I plugged them cans into my O2 amp via the DAC, they immediately picked up bass distortion. When they were plugged into the O2 amp via my crappy sound card, the can's bass came through clean. The files that I'm running are FLACs so it shouldn't be from the source.
Thoughts?
Make every day a fun day filled with music and friendship!
