  Despite the everlasting fit problems, the JH Roxannes sound great. Here with AK240SS and Toxic Silver Widow 22AWG.
 

That is one beautiful picture and even nicer set up.

My main cable supplier is Stephen Guo at Beat Audio. Toxic and DHC are great too, but Stephen is closer, and I prefer the Beat Audio finish.

Did you do a side-by-side comparison? I thought the AK240SS was "just" a regular AK240 with a stainless steel case in stead of duraluminum.

I own both. Ak240dr and the ak240SS. The SS uses its "un-coated" body as a ground and creates problem with TRRS jack. When u plug trrs jack..the ground jack contacts the SS body ground and creates distortion. To eliminate this problem..AK suggests to use 'small-tape' mod to prevent both ground make contact each other.

Sound Quality difference? I dont think the difference is 25-30% at least to my ears after i compared both of them many times! I have some headfons and iems which i think they good enough defining the clarity and details. And to me .between ak240DR vs SS..yes they do have a SLIGHTLY different in tonality. I think SS is somewhat brighter..a bit more clear and could be the effect of different ground used between the two. But..TBH with you..to me peraonally...the diffence IS NOT MUCH. and i would rather say they have a slightly different color of sound, NOT the quality.

> i prefer to use ak240DR for my Dita Truth and so does to some of my Grado phones (certain series)

If you have the cash I would go for the HD25-1 II's! I love the looks of them and the amperior. But they are quite the money so I settled for the JVC HAS500Z. Apparently they are great in bass. Getting here tomorrow cannot wait. Enjoy those pistons, I've heard mixed reviews so far on them. They look nice though.

I also thought about getting the JVC HAS500Z instead of the HD25-1. I hope you will post a review of them once you get it.

HD25 are an awesome headphone. If you ever become bored of thier sound simply open the headband a little apart (the dividable part) sit them on a table in eyes view and stare at them... Awesome.

Excellent design.

I was so intrigued by HD25 I've recently added the Amperior to my collection.

Lol oh wow, I'll definitely have to get me a pair soon now. The Amperior are a little too pricey for me but they are beautifully designed.

Funny story about my HD25. They're actually made up from two HD25 headphones I picked up cheap on eBay, both with problems (2 individual sales). I've rebuilt them from the ground up with new cable, pads, building one pair from the two.

So for me they win a soft spot for those reasons. Keep your eye out on eBay, sometimes you can pick them up cheap.

Sounds like an hell of a good deal. I'll take a look at EBay. What were the issues with the sets?

When I tried the pono player at axpona it seemed bright to my ears. Maybe because I was listening to the HD 800 with them.

How does the ety sound with it?
