The changes are pretty easy to catch. Aside from an increase in luster and gloss, the pleather gives way significantly easier hence giving it a "supple" texture. Prior to the treatment I found the pleather to be somewhat hard and brittle kinda like something you'd find in a cheap wallet. Afterwards it feels more like the pleather used in my sofa; exceedingly soft and cloth-like. Being that I have sensitive skin, I was worried that I'd get some sort of rash or reaction out of it. Fortunately, I can say that there have been none so far. *edit* I can't really tell if there's a difference in SQ; however, my initial guess is that there isn't. On the upside, I can now re-bend the headband for a tighter fit without any real discomfort.

there are so many different versions of armor all leather wipes can you please point out which one from their site?

I think overall the HD25-1 is much better, but I will say the bass of the K81DJ is very addicting.

One thing the HD25-1 is really missing is soundstage, its almost as flat as IEMs. I also dislike its slightly metallic mids and screechy highs (yes even with a recable).

Yes, they fold up very nicely, nad though not pockeable, are easily tossed in a backpack, so portablity is no issue. And yes again, they can esily be driven by an iPod (though they sound sooooo much better amped).

I've been searching for about an hour and a half now, if someone could direct me to these pictures it would be nice.

Yeah, I saw that one, and it makes these look that much more appealing for portable use. I was hoping to see a few different ones, however. Better perspective and all (differeent angles, different head sizes).

 

[norseman8485]

Just got mine. Crazy bass, Oh YEAH!!

How's the isolation? I need isolation for my dorm. Is the isolation comparable to the HD280 isolation?

It's quite good, better than I recall the 280's as having been. It's not nearly as comfortable as the 280, but sounds better.

Most definitely.
A deaf brother isn't necessarily a bad thing though.Depends on the type of your relationship.
OTOH an idiot in the family constantly complaining about his tinnitus might be annoying.

Since I've got them I'm looking for a use for the k81crap.
That's it.
Finally a purpose.They might be quite good for deafening hated family members.

BTW, your concerns regarding the cans somewhat remind me of a severe motorcycle crash I've once had.My "friend" (the owner of the bike) did burst into tears about the shattered Kawa.
Me lying on the street with lots of broken bones watching him desperately dancing around the wreck wasn't exactly amusing.
Well, fortunately someone else called 911.

Playing any headphone at full volume off any source (iPod, amp, ect.) is stupid. Not to mention potentially harmful to ones hearing. If the volume doesn't get you, the distortion will. Permanent hearing damage is not a good thing, for anyone.
