ZMF Blackwood: I have a review up for them and even though I don't have a pair at the moment (waiting for an upgrade), I still feel like I'm missing something with everything else.
Modded Darth Beyer: I opened them up and there was nothing but cotton balls but after some damping, they can still rattle but don't sound half bad with anything with vocals anymore
OPPO PM2: They'd be fantastic headphones if I had nothing to compare them to, but since I do, they sound lacking a little bit in everything.
AKG K271: The second pair of headphones I've ever bought. With some J-Money pads they combine their very capable midrange and now have some nice bass.
Hifiman RE600: Fantastically warm, but after a while they're a bit tiring.
Master and Dynamic MH40: They're the best modern portable headphones I've used, which means next to nothing because I've hated most portable headphones. Their bass is kind of muddy, only made muddier with amplification for some reason. Their midrange is fine, but there's a random dip in the transition from the midrange to the treble that's similar to why I hated the M50. On the upside, they're easily the most durable headphones I have.
^NotaLefty, what do you think of the SR007's bass? My problem with the Stax I've tried (SR-009, Lambdas) was that while the bass was there, it didn't feel real. Rather, it felt diffuse rather than visceral like with dynamic headphones.
Are you moving up from ZMF x Vibro? I haven't been able to compare the Mr. Speakers to the ZMF x Vibro/Blackwood but they should share some similarities even when after tuning is all said and done. I really enjoy the bass from the Alpha Dog though and I think it compares to my experiences I had with the LCD-XC and LCD-2F in overall satisfaction and presence of the bass
