Somebody did. I don't think it went well as the hug pad eats a lot of the bass impact. gikigill might know? If I find or remember  will PM you.

So the sz1's still hit hard as a mofo then? I still keep going back and forth on them. 2 weeks ago I had an opportunity to pick up a pair of open box sz1000's at amazon japan for $60, and still couldn't pull the trigger. Like I would be screwing myself over if I did it because the sz2000's are king. Likewise same place had open box sz2000's for $135, and I again couldn't pull the trigger. I keep fearing the veil, but I also know that high volume listening can shadow veil, and these would be strictly for high volume Hip hop and Reggae listening.
 
Would be great if someone from Saint Louis had a pair I could test drive. Yamaha Pro 500's rattle my brain enough to make me feel like I'm getting speed boxed by Mayweather. I cant even imagine something hitting harder.
 
My best friend is coming into town from Tokyo in June so I have a month to decide.

Yea the sz2000 is down to $150 new and there is a used pair prime shipped for $130. I will probably tell my buddy to pick em up for me. Just have to catch my wife on a good day, as she thinks its ridiculous to own so many pairs of headphones.

Been looking for over ear headphones (closed back) for a good few months now but no joy. Would like some high res ones with a good amount of bass.

I'll be using them with an LG G5 and lg hi-fi plus dac amp. Ideally I'd like something that's not too big, as I'll be using them while out.

I like most types of music so would like something to cover this as well.

I currently have a pair of skullcandy crushers. I tried the beyerdynamic dt 770 pro 250 ohms but they were way too big so sent them back.

Had a look in my local hmv at the momentum 2.0 and Sony mdr1a but the sound was too low or distorted.

Budget wise, I'd say around £150, but can probably push to £200

The obvious answer is JVC SZ1000 or SZ2000. I've not heard them yet so I can't comment on if they are 'high res' or not, but the bass is insane.

I think its time for me to get the sz2k again.  Where are you finding them for $150?  I'm checking amazon and its 180-190 right now.

Hmmmm,  
 
 v-moda m100.  Really good bass, v-shape signature, dark sounding, need xl pads which are still to small for me.  Can be found for $150 new.
 
Audio technica ws1100.  Not top ten bass, but can be pushed to good levels, good staging, kind of v-shaped sound, good clarity.  $280 
 
Audio technica pro700.  never tried these but on top ten for bass.  $130
 
Get them from a place that you can easily return if you don't like them.

I've got mine up for sale for $150 including JVC HAM55X pads. Only a week old. I used them maybe once or twice. Nothing wrong with them. Just need cash at the moment.

Hey Chillaxing. They cheap on Amazon Japan. Dollar is pretty strong though waning a bit recently. I'm in a good situation where my best friend lives in Narita and shoots over to Saint Louis 2-3 times a year. Saves me shipping provided I can wait.
