very good sound. I always love messing around with stuff and decided to replace the pads of the two. I wonder...are all the V-xxx series bad because of the pads? Because after the pad switch, the K81DJ's sounded almost exactly like the MDRV150's. The 81 pads on the 150's make the sound totally different. Although the bass extension is still poor, I no longer get that boomy sound, in fact they sound bass-light. Mids are so smoothly represented, so silky. Highs are toooootally different -- slightly bright but still enjoyable, and I get good soundstage. I'm actually getting that "Sony" sound, that airy/soundstage/brightness. This would be such a killer $20 headphone if it weren't for the crappy pads.

And I'm running totally flat this time.

Someone who owns both switch the pads & and tell me what you think.

Something to try when I get home. Too bad the headband broke on my V250

I was going to buy the V150 to do a transplant of the KSC75s to the enclosure. I guess I can try it out...when I get my paycheck. I found out the KSC75s don't sound bad closed, unlike the Grados, so I'll close it up and see how it goes...if not there are also other various implants :3

Man, I don't even know if I believe you. I'll see about trying to space my V300 away from my ear a little and see if there is any improvement, but I'm not holding my breath.

Anyone switched the pads yet?

No, but I'l try some eh150 pads on a mdr v 500, then some beer goggles later tonight.
