I have the Brainwavz HM5 version of these.
Really like them. Have both stock pads and extra thic pads and like stock better. They are softer.
 
Am I missing some essential mods or settings for these ? Using them with e10k on windows 7 btw.
 
I have some carpenter skills and was thinking of making custom cups. Any dimensions or help I could find ?
Edit: would prefer just ordering and replacing them

Are those similar to Fischer Audio?

They seem to be identical

Be careful, I've seen good evidence that the XPT100 is very different and worse than the HM5/FA-003. These might be the same. I recommend sticking with the HM5 or FA-003.

Really? That is interesting.

Really? Are they not the same drivers?
 
I always assumed they were..

I can't say for sure, however it seems like there was a change at some point. The XPT100 was virtually identical, but may not be now.

We want to remind that we released original FA-003 in 2008, and stopped making them in 2012, once rebrands started showing around. Current model is FA-003 Ti, with different driver which is does not sound the same. Also yoke part was changed from plastic to metal, as broken plastic yoke was the second most popular flaw after the usual cable problems.

A couple questions. Are there any reviews of this new one? Could I fit my FA-002w wooden cups to a pair of your new FA-003 TI?

Plenty of reviews are out for the TI model, they were released years ago.
 
The wooden cups will fit onto the TI model.

Nice I might finally be able to get my FA-002w working again. There doesn't seem to be any good reviews or comparisons from the old model, unfortunately.

What's wrong with them?

What's wrong with them?

The plastic "yoke" part has broken 3-4 times. I've bought 2 jaycars just for that damn part. A metal yoke should fix their fatal flaw.

The HD580/600/650 headband fits HM5/FA003 and is more stable than those plastic parts.

Is there a way/place to get the band separately?  Thanks!
