I'm planning to put several HPs on ebay over the weekend to make room for recent acquisitions.
For those who are looking at the A5Pro, I think it's a pretty solid deal at $80. I grabbed our pair from the rack this morning and I'm giving it some quick listening right now. Some might have issues with the firm headband and the smallish stock ear pads, but the sound should appeal to many. That said, on my head I don't think it's a headphone I'd be able to wear for an extended period of time. I've had to adjust it a handful of times in a 15 minute span. Since comfort is very subjective this won't be a problem for everyone. $80 seems like a very safe price point to try them out.

It's not an issue of clamping force, but the two pad lines on the headband are very firm. This could create pressure points or hot spots on top for some head shapes. If I flex the headband much at all the seal is broken and the sound changes pretty dramatically, so I don't think bending the headband would be recommended.

Good to know - thanks for the information. I picked up a pair, but I'm pretty picky about fit. We'll see how it goes.

I picked up an A5 Pro (paid too much, apparently!) Just FYI, I haven't been able to find a source yet for the larger than stock ear pads. Those would probably help with comfort issues on/around the ear.

You are all seeing $80 for the A5pro? It is showing up $149.99 for me. Hope I'm just missing something as I've been wanting a pair of these for a while.
Thanks
Thanks

Honey app? That sounds rather sweeet than headphone related....
In any case, those Groupon people have a whole bunch of HP (100+) on this site here: https://www.groupon.com/goods/on-ear-headphones/
Some of them are quite interesting...
Cheers.

Still haven't bought anything, Yay me!!!
The above are making it difficult, though, specifically the Audioquest Nighthawks, the Philips DJ cans, and, to a lesser extent, the K550 (the last 2 are inexpensive enough to seem like not a big deal, but there is a PRINCIPLE here!!! In terms of just unadulterated audio lust, though, the Nighthawks are #1 of the list).
OK, stay tuned for upcoming episodes of, "DOES DOCTORJAZZ BREAK UNDER PRESSURE?"
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
you can you can you can! however there is a cyber friday sale on the Brooklyn Bridge tomorrow.........it comes with stereo speakers and virtual surround sound........

If I decide to keep them, I can use my Alpha Pads.
Do you think the Brainwayvs pads would fit on them?
