let me join the club too, mines just got here last friday, don't have much time to listen to these guys yet, but so far, I'm loving em. IT IS the sound that I've been looking for.
Well done mate! I'm glad it's the sound you're looking for.
How do you find their bass quality/quantity?
These sound fantastic with most genres I listen to.
I find they aren't too suitable for any aggressive drum n bass / dubstep tracks. BUT I really like them for Jazz/Indie/Pop tracks
Just to my ears anyway. YMMV.
I own them. Bought them on a whim based on some impressions made by Beagle in the Yamaha Pro Headphones thread. Once he mentioned that piano and vocals sounded natural and that there was this slight lower mid/upper bass emphasis, I had a feeling timbre had to be good on these and that there was weight to the instruments. Piano and vocals are not always easy to accurately reproduce. The mids are beautiful and the highs sound just right - smooth yet sparkly. I don't hear any grain or edge to the music - I just hear the music. It's musical, detailed and involving.
Sorry to stray you away from the Amperior lol. I think you should definitely give the Yamahas a shot though and if they end up not being to your liking, return them. A couple of small, minor caveats with the Pro 500 I should warn you of are the weight (slightly on the heavy side but not all that bad - they're just very solid) and the ear cups are slightly on the small side. That said, I could deal with those little issues any day of the week with the rich SQ coming out of them.
