How come nobody'z done the Dynamat mod to S500 yet? ...or done it and secretly kept the awesomeness to themselves.

I have to give kudos to JVC.  I would never have though they could bring such happiness to my ear nubs.  I can't claim to have listened to the best of the best to put things in perspective, but after nearly 6 hours of listening to many of my favorite tracks, the JVC HA-FXT90's are the best sound I've ever heard.  So easy to drive too!  
 
...then I imagine what Senn IE8's or HD800's must sound like?  Not sure my ears and brain could handle that.  Best money I've ever spent on iem's/headphones.  No doubt in my mind.
 
Can't wait to try the S500's
 
Good god of the frequencies be kind to me!

Well, truth is I'm no fan of ordering online.  I prefer to be able to return them right away if I don't like what I hear.  Besides, I'm happy enough with my Koss Pro DJ100's and Porta Pro's if I want to listen with on ear heaphones.  

Now if the ones I picked up at the Source had been the same S500's, well that would have been sweet.

Edit.  Browsed ebay, thinking about ordering a pair of S500's now 

Can anyone recommend who I should buy from?  If they have anything like the sound I'm hearing from these FXT90's I may just have to...gulp...order from ebay.


Peace,

Haha don't delay it mate, how do you think most of us on Head - Fi buy our stuff? Japan and China are the centre of technological advancement.

Btw, I used jp-ken seller on eBay. He ships quick and is a good friend of mine.

He's also got the Gunmetal model, just message him about it.

Does JVC or anyone else make a full size, circumaural version of this? With the same kind of driver? Thanks.

There's the HA-S770, but it doesn't sound nearly as good I've heard. I think you're best bet would be to get the S500s and purchase the HM5 pads. If you want the pads to stay on better you'll need some rings as well. If you don't mind spending the money you could go with the WS99s, which is the most similar type of sound I can think of.

^ What 7S said, but i have this feeling JVC is gonna release their full size CNT headphone real soon, all speculation on my part of course but how can they not have any answers for what ATH unloaded this year.
 
But yeah it seems that for now, the ATH WS99 are these best bang for the buck that is akin to a complete full size upgraded version of the S500s. 

 

[clarkkent]

Wow those things are like 4 times more expensive than the S500's though.  At that point I'd buy the M100 I think

WOH...full size CNT headphones, now that would be something.  Stop teasing me with that idea, I may just dream about that tonight.  (On a white sands beach in Queensland Australia...bottle of red wine within reach...puts on JVC HA-SX900 50mm diaphragm CNT cans...looks out at the ocean while I play some Pink Floyd Flac...smiles...tear rolls down cheek!)
 
A.K.A. ear SX! lol
 
See what you've gone and done with that speculation
