  The hardware around the cans look an awful lot like the presentation of the FA 003-Ti...
 
Are the pads removable via twisting off a "pad-plate"?  If so try some HM-5 pads stock to the FA-003.  You should regain all of the lost frequency.
 
With my Ti headphones the thicker the pad the worse the sound became.

 
They are indeed removable but I don't remember a "plate"... and agree, they kind-of look like the Fisher-Audio ones.
But, are they so huge like that?
I don't remember FA headphones being so ginormous...
 
 
Thanks.

The stock pads were not enormous, but the additional velour 003 Ti pads in the packaging were just under 1/2" bigger in terms of depth.  I put the stock pads back on and the bass returned.

I got hte newer version, the cable is not stiff at all but very long. These are huge and dont seal well at my jaw. I put some plastic tubing along the bottom of the earpads and now the seal is better

Back from the dead!!! You know, I still use mine!!! Learned to love them and with a warm amp, they are actually not bad.

I think your newer version is more balanced though.
