Finally got a balanced cable for my LCD-2.2Fs and my A-GD NFB-28, now I can boost bass by about 16dB for some fun. It sounds so smooth! Not SZ2000's but hey, at least I can bang Screw like it's meant to be heard now!
I've read almost the entire thread (about 3/4 of it, I think), and I've only seen a few references to Bluetooth headphones -- for understandable reasons -- but I wondered if anyone who has tried these JVC Elation XX (HA-SBT200X) and possibly how they fare compared to Voda M-100 (wired or wireless):

Thanks, looking forward to hearing your perspective on them when you do get a chance to hear them. I'm certain that they don't belong THE list, but I wondered if for BT cans, they'd be satisfactory to a basshead given the inherent limitations.
those kannon headphones are not worth 500usd in my opinion and 40mm drivers does not look promising, will buy them when they drop in place or wait on some reviews from you guys here.

For sheer force there is nothing and for ear safety that is probably a good thing. Despite several videos with several sources in the frame of the vid and sharing the exact settings used from 3 or 4 sources on this threads front page I still get some folks saying they can't get bass from the SZ.
You can tell em' and show em' and yet...they can't do it.
I said a long time ago that if folks do anything other than the settings shared they take a chance in getting different results.
Hey I got no sugar...think I'll use salt for this cake instead ...they are both white
I used to care but now I think a lot of folks with a slightly lower I.Q. have just saved their eardrums so maybe it's a good thing.

I'd have to agree with you on price. I think that the case has more of a premium look than the actual cans...And I'm not interested in the case. So, they need to ditch that and adjust the price down. I do understand (according to our reviewers) that they don't need an amp so, that's a plus. My V-Moda's don't need to be amp'd either but they sound a lot better when they are! I hope that the manufacturers will bear this in mind when they settle on the final pricing. Because, I'm just not feeling them at $500.

That case was an "option" I found out later and may not be in the $500 price tag it may be extra? I dunno much more than anyone/everyone at this stage.
It would be nice to see cans with high power handling, high-excursion drivers....but HBB you're right....a SZ2000 w/ 55x pads and plenty of amp behind them already feels like an SPL car!
Maybe a mid 150's car when these things are pushed to the limit and bottom out. Anything more than that just gets into pain territory.
I'm curious what these cans do on an SPL meter with a good seal, clean test tone, and big power. Has anyone fed these 3w+ per side?

I've given them just over 2 but never gone higher. sounded good though.
55X pads are great but I liked the Brainwavz memory foams sound more overall.
That said I have a set of 55X pads just sitting around... someone here must be suffering with stock pads still!
edit : I used to do powering headphones from speaker taps on vintage gear, but now that I'm messing with 300+ watts on my power amp, I don't do that anymore. The slightest twitch the volume knobs could send any headphones to headphone heaven.
