I gotta be honest guys. Leather pads never failed me once, while i've yet to hear any velour that improves sound. Am i missing the velour greatness somehow? Are there really people that go "i wish there was a way to remove 4db off my bass without EQ"?:thinking:

You're not alone in this one.

Buds are love, buds are life. Due to unfortunate genetical circumstances, my ears produce a lot of wax. Wearing IEMs for me is out of question (they get dirty ridiculously fast), and walking with full sized cans in the summer is horrible heat experience. So i am quite interested in any new...

Images are way too big, sorry for that, don't know how to resize them here... So, here are some pictures of "previous 4 pin mod", i did not make many, and now it is all redone anyway: And here are after:

This mod is not the easiest to revert once you do it, BTW. But anyhow, i actually installed a similar connector to my DT1770. Made a nice cable, 4 pin mini xlr to 2.5mm balanced. It just so happened that the 4 pin connector was faulty (i think one pin fractured inside so it did not have...

It is still a good studio headphone. Just not a popular one to mod. And the thread is "dt-1770 mods". So if you still want your question answered, it would be like this: No, nobody tried Amiron headband on dt-1770 :)

You can't reply to your own message 1 minute later, disappointed that noone replied yet. That's not how forums work my man :)))

I hope there won't be any bot emails winning. Good luck for any real giveaway participants though!

It should be, the wiring inside is pretty simple. The connector is held by hot glue if i'm not mistaken, so replacing that part will be tricky. And it is likely it wont be usable after that...

Well, they are bigger and deeper than the original ones, so the effect of these pads will be pretty big. Sound stage gets much wider and bass gets a boost. However you trade a bit of clarity and separation. I'd say its an equal trade off, with enhanced comfort. Thats for me though, your results...

I purchased sheepskin rounds (non XL) and they fit fine. The large pads are obviously too big, even judging by brainwavz own dimensions chart. XL has 65mm hole diameter and 110 earpad diameter, that fits only AKG 701 alike (AFAIK ofcourse) while regular version is 55mm - 100mm, and that fits...

Those iBasso (or was it Kurada) things look like they just took koss portapros and made them a bigger shell lol :)

The flagship somewhat resembles to me beyerdynamic 150, purely because of its hexagon earcup form...

To damage the chip internals you've got to drop it much more serious than that. Basically, everything else will break before the internals will.

Guys, my th-x00 are still shipping but already i am 100% sure i will have to do something with the cable, since i am coming from beyerdynamic cans with the same unbelievably long cord (albeit not 1/4 inch). I want to order my parts beforehand so i dont have to struggle. My question is, how thick...

Still that was what i actually heard when they first hit the market. I was kind of excited to know that fostex step up their ortho game, so naturally i was disappointed when many people stated otherwise. To hear that this is just an overpriced t50rp... after that i stopped considering any fostex...

Well thats the problem. A lot of people DO care. I'd personally felt cheated if they would try to sell me T50RP with the only difference being housing and  another 0 in the name.

Ahh, good old US only giveaways. Almost got excited...

If comparing to on-board sound card - any of them both would make a big difference with a decent headphone (i believe 25-1 ii is decent enough) and between the two there is really not much difference at all. I personally use 2i2 and spec-wise they are pretty much the same (1 dB Signal to Noise...

I have a strong feeling that 399$ start price will not be correct. 

I know, somebody probably was wandering this before but, why on earth would they make logo bending in, on the bending out cup? It looks so wrong to me. Sennheisers and Beyers and pretty much all major manufacturers do lightly sphering grills bending out because they DO look much better. I know...

Well, the question was "Will wearing the DT990 in public be a problem?", and the answer is - it will. Plain simple. Bad choice for a public headphone, unless you wear it for walks, or for relaxing somewhere in forest.
