thx for sharing
 
the white hm5 looks superb, these drivers are very friendly with deep pads and the subbass for an open phone is just surprisingly good

Nice tutorial. I just put on Shure 1540 Alcantara pads after watching it because I could....actually like them on the SHP9500, very complimentary in sound to my TH-X00 Purplehearts and the comfort is NICE. Perfect fit too...no cutting required at all, easy to stretch over and secure as well. Bass seems better/more present than with stock pads, mids are fine and still good - maybe a tad reduced, though think it tamed highs a tad bit and took just a little bit of clarity... I rather like the stock highs on the SHP9500's. These are my gaming headphones anyways, so more concerned with comfort, having an overall clean sound, and positioning information...will try them out tomorrow evening in Destiny to level up my Titan running through Rise of Iron story.

I got the SHP9500S versions, seems to be the ninja release of OG SHP9500.. I almost thought it was fake :|

I peeled the foam off the back of the fabric of the 1540 pads for better clarity and detail...much better now. Also 'Sharpied' out the L and R on the grilles... does look better I think:
 

 
 

 
 
Only thing I have left is replacing the stock headband cushion with a headband strap... thinking of going with the one from MrSpeakers for the T50RP...should be nice enough, and all I need to do is punch 2 holes on each end for mounting it (and trim any excess off).

With good recordings, I'm really enjoying listening to the SHP9500 phones.

I directly connect the phones to Chromecast Audio and find the sound to be excellent.

At 10% Chromecast Audio volume they are surprisingly loud and the nuances of the source material really shines through.

I would buy the SHP9500 and Chromecast Audio again without feeling the need to audition other phones or DACs.

These cans are awsome i know im gonna sound nuts but i have the hd 600s as well, I really prefer the 9500s by a long shot.

These or samson z55?

  Question for those who have owned the SHP9500's for a while now...
 
How does the sound change overtime with burn-in? I just bought these, currently being shipped so haven't listened to them yet. 
 
So far I've heard the highs out of the box can be harsh but mellow in time but nothing else.

They don't really change actually. And generally they're not really affected that much by burn in.
 
The sibilance is still there, the soundstage is the same and the best part is they really show themselves in time as being very sturdy. Great build.

why so??

 

[jasonnaos]

There more enjoyable, a lot more comfortable. I have a big head though. Sound is more open, sub bass is better. Honestly I'm not a big fan of my HD600s I bought them because of all the praise and I was greatly diissapointed. Idk maybe I have more commercial ears so to speak. The 600s sound almost muffled to me.

have you tried fidelio x2?
