Hi!
 
I just bought mine and so far loving the details; however, I would like a little more subbass and "boom". If i were to remove the foam materials from behind the driver, would that help?

 
As I said in my previous reply, I think removing the cotton would likely reduce the fullness and body to the sound and further up the treble. I haven't tried it myself on the 610s, but from what I've observed on my modded D5000s, it should be that way.

If I were to remove the foam damping from the back-side of my th610 driver, would I be able to gain more sub-bass and overall bass impact. Secondly, would I loss some mid clarity and detail in the process?

You'll get more treble, just like the original TH-600 and TH-900 are suffering from. That is about all.

Yes I agree--extremely smooth and pleasant and rich. 

lol it gets pretty addicting right? You'r style of cans are a lot more diverse than mines that I purchased. I guess I'm just a little stuck in my bass head ways. Eventually I will get tired of it. Now I want cleaner and clearer sound.

I'm appreciating my TH-610 more and more. I haven't heard any of the headphones you have, so I can't directly compare. I don't think I would call them a bass head can, but they are definitely a lot of fun. They have a warmer tone and a thicker low end than the HD-800. I have a limited amount of time to listen to my headphones, and I've been turning to the 610's a lot lately. Very happy with them.

Yes, Your Th610's are on my list of cans i want to get next. My list keeps expanding. Since the last 3 months i might of added like 5 definite buys for me. My new venture is into open back. I haven't even heard any as of yet. But i'm on the list to audition the Focal Elear. I'm pretty excited for that opportunity. it may make me change my ways.

The Elears have been getting some rave reviews. I would love to hear them, and it's fun to have a collection of phones. But I have to say I'm very happy with my one open and one closed set of headphones.

Can anyone compare these directly to the Denon D5K? I've avoided biodynas in the past because they typically seem to carry V or U-shaped signatures that I detest. Slightly forward mids are my preference, if anything.
 
Thanks

These have less harsh and forward treble, much deeper extension and a warmer tint to them.
More slam in the bass when the song calls for it.
Pianos and acoustic guitars get a nice, warmer tint and head voice singing never gets to the point where it's unbearable or I'd have to turn down the volume, which is an issue I had with the 5000s.
 
Warmer, thicker, less harsh and more pleasant is the gist of my comparison.
The extra thickness together with less harsh treble makes the mids appear a bit more as well in my perception.

 

[430011]

Sorry, I can't directly compare. But over the last few pages it seems like the consensus is that the mids are still slightly recessed. I wouldn't call these a "mid head" can.

Now that E-Mu Teak is available o Massdrop, can someone help me decide between Th610 and E-Mu teak? Thanks.

Tyll has a very good comparison between the usual Fostex suspects: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/survey-foster-443742-variants-subjective-listening-tests-denon-ah-d5000-massdrop-fostex-th#yuAu6SVp4Fl6IrY2.97
 
It's a good place to start. The upshot is E-Mu Teak is a bit more V-shaped than the 610. Personally, I'm holding out for a price drop on the 610.

 

[430011]

I would say it comes down to looks and price. I fell in love with the walnut on black color scheme of the 610, and that's the one I bought.

Hi all,
 
Just found some new TH-600s for $499. Wondering if I should get them or pony up the extra for the TH-610s. Mainly listen to EDM. Current phones: T50RPMk3.
 
thanks for any advice!
