I got the S500's 

 
No customes for me, 95% of all headphones imported into Canada are Duty Free!

Oh, then you wouldn't get one... I also see they send a tea bag as a gift sometimes, too... I wonder which one I'll get.

I remember someone was asking us to post our EQs that we use with the S500s. Here's mine with Poweramp from my Galaxy Nexus:

That looks kind of like an EQ I'd use, except with less bass and the 2k moved up some shoved up to the top.

Why would you put it that high? xD

Edit: I actually, truly enjoy this. I have to keep it way down to listen to (12% volume), but its bringing up the high end detail a TON. I can hear the breath of the singer. No, I can hear how she had to think about how she was singing the note from this much detail. Its amazing. Also I made this preset just then as a joke... but now I kind of want to keep it... Man this is detailed. Lovely.

Of course you could just get AD700 and bypass EQ.

Plus, you'd hear where she was standing.

On my S2 or Tab2, the player I use is Neutron player. I don't use any EQ, except that I do have the Noozxoide EIZO-rewire app which is really great. Have you tried it?

Are there any recommendations of how to burn these cans in?

 

[daleb]

Most people seem to just leave them plugged in overnight, playing music. Many say to crank up the volume as loud as it can go... I personally would never be willing to torture a pair of headphones like that, instead opting to leave it at a decent volume without overdoing it.

Yeah, full blast on the loudest song you can find does the job!

Of ******* your headphones up lol.

I've tried to search but found nothing.

I will buy these cans in a few days, but please tell me:

DO they sound like the HA-FXD80 (which I love dearly)?

Can the be modded to be around ear?
If yes, any tutorial?


Thanks for taking time answering me.

Never heard the HA-FXD80s, but these can be modded to be around the ear very very easily. http://www.head-fi.org/t/621063/the-jvc-ha-s500-appreciation-fan-thread/4080#post_9023880

They sound like on-ear FXD80s.

How are the S400s compared to these? Is it worth having both or are they too similar? Plus, other than the HM5 mod which will make this over ear, what on ear mods can be done to the S500?
