Tascam TH-02 - Headphones waiting to be discovered??? (now Appreciation Thread)

[Tongs]

Bought my TH02 last Month, Not disappointed still burning them in.

Anyway, My box was different

Just bought the Teac CT-H02, which are supposedly the same thing.
The price was good, cost me around $11.
It will take a few weeks to reach me though...Which I'm fine with, I just want to end up with an upgrade from my normal Samsung earbuds which I found acceptable already.
Anyone knows about how it fits around the ear? I have small-medium ears (I think), and I'm worried it will just be on-ears.

How do you like them so far?

The TH02 pads are round. Replace them with oval Shure 840 or HM5 pads.  Much nicer.

Got HM5 pads (Velour) for it. Stock pads sucks lol
 
Sounds just pretty good for the price.

I can't justify paying that much just for the pads, and they cost more than the headphones themselves too.
If I was to spend that much I would have just bought another headphone.
But thanks for the recommendation and info, I appreciate the replies.
 
 
Can you measure the stock pads if it's no hassle?

Thank you!
They seem like pretty large pads, I imagined they would be much smaller from the pictures I saw, 8cm is much more than what I had in mind, which is good I guess.

Total head-fi noob, just got the Tascam TH-02's...to my (inexperienced ears) they sound great! Just got some HM5 pads to replace the stock ones with. Dumb question but, how do I do that? Should I just rip out the old ones and slap the HM5 pads on? I noticed that the old pads are wedged between the inner and outer earpiece (don't know what else to call it). Should I do that with the HM5 pads? Or should I just wrap them around the whole can? If I need to thread the new pads between the two pieces...how should I take them apart to do that?

Bump!

How they are compared to ISK hp2011 ?

Any opinions on the following EQ? They are based in Jay_WJ's equalization and Innerfidelity's measurements against the harman curve (for 1k and up only).

Filter 1
Center Frequency: 2'700 Hz
Gain: +7 dB
Bandwidth: 2.5 Oct

Filter 2
Center Frequency: 9'500 Hz
Gain: -8 dB
Bandwidth: 0.3 Oct

Filter 3
Center Frequency: 5'000 Hz
Gain: +2.5 dB
Bandwidth: 0.5 Oct

I got the TH02 a couple of weeks ago. The sound seems clean and very easy to drive. Produces the most loudness (by a small margin) at a given volume level compared to other phones. Only the bass seems a bit on the weaker side. Is the weaker bass on this actually a correct representation of the actual sound?

Even I got this same box. I see another different image online.
