I guess it gets the sound towards T50v1. Unfortunately depth of sundstage on EMU is slightly reduced comparing to the others.

Just curious, what's a rolled off mids?

I meant upper part of midrage. In othere words the headpones sound amazing with powerful tube amps, where bass is strong and well controlled and hights are really detailed but without any unnecessary extentions.

Sisters are cool.

I think that the on the right is just realised she's got a real piece of art on her head and she tried to smile accordingly - like Mona Lisa

hi i'm new to this whole headphone addiction thing, and this is my first post, so hello to all, and thanks for the bombardment of info that i never thought i would be so into. Anyway, i just snagged an ss-100 on ebay under the radar when i was watching another pair. this is my first pair of orthos so i don't have much to compare to, but wow! i am pretty blown away! I've been listening for about 12 hours straight, and they are getting progressively better. I am hearing all my music again for the first time. I didn't know music could sound like this, i can hear way more detail in live instruments, and effects, and the bass seems more balanced than my other phones, despite the fact i primarily use bass heavy ones for djing. i was wondering if anyone has replaced the cable on a pair of these? mine is a little beat cosmetically, and i would like to try some solid silver wire because i probably wont take these out of the studio ever, and it might sound better. i read somewhere these are a pain to take apart, but wasn't sure they were talking about the driver itself or the whole thing. i have fixed a few old phones and am pretty confident in my shop skills, but i really don't want to do anything bad to these as i am pretty much in lust with them.

I hope it was a Head-Fier that snatched up the shiny set of SS-100s that went on Ebay this week for a $50 Buy-It-Now price.

 

[Sim1]

Wow! $50? Do you have any link?

 

[IceClass]

Sadly, no. I trashed the link...in disgust.

I've read your whole thread now - really interesting! As a bit of a Sansui fan, I really appreciate if you keep those ebay-links coming I'm seriously on the lookout for a pair.

I really wanna get this Sansui SS-100 after I listened to it for 3 days.
 
My friend says that it is a marvelous headphone and I also agree with it.

 

[Audiocrack]

Is the sound of these comparable to any modern headphone? I'm wondering if these are actually worth the high prices they go for, purely looking at sound...
