I'll treat myself. What's the difference from the t series to the DT other than price?
 
I have some JVC HA-SZ 2000 on order as mraerosmith pushed me over the edge. Finally come to peace with the K7XX now I bass modded them.

Noted. Where did you get yours from? I find this seller to be the cheapest. Did you change the pads? Only leather ones I used before were the ATH:M50 and they were very uncomfortable heat wise for me.
 
I've been looking for a pair of closed back "lifestyle" headphones for when I want some isolation and don't want to use my IEMs.

First I tried the Audio Technica ATH-MSR7 which looked great but the sound was focused too much on the upper mids and highs for my liking, not to my taste at all, so back they went.

Next I tried the Sony MDR-1A which looked even better but were the exact opposite of the MSR7 with way too much woolly bass. Shame too because the mids were really nice and I quite liked the rolled off highs but back they went.

My third choice came today, the Sony MDR-100AAP and I'm happy to say they tick all the right boxes and then some, specially for the money (just under a ton). I bought one of the used pairs from the rain forest, so a return really but they are literally like new, not a mark on them. I got the black version which is nicely understated, unlike the other colours. :eek:

So I plugged them into my Magni 2, checked for low gain and hit play on MusicBee and I thought holy ****, bass monsters but then remembered I had switched the equaliser in while I was using my Havi B3 Pro 1s. Switched it off and started grinning, these things sound really good. Nice lush mids, smooth yet detailed highs and great bass extension without being too mental and the bass stays where it's supposed to be, no great mid bass hump like the 1As. I'm impressed with the sound stage too considering they are closed back, easily as wide as my HD650s though not as high or deep (front to back).

.... Back to listening to Guthrie Govan go mental on Steven Wilson's "Home Invasion / Regret #9" :eek:
 
Well after making my mind up on AKG 702, I did more reading, and more reading ..... my god did I read, And settled on Some DT990's that should be here in the morning, the Modi2Uber was always out of sock, and I've decided to give the SMSL M6 a try as it seems to tick all the boxes for starters.

So I have some DT990's arriving tomorrow, already have some Superlux 668B which don't sound terrible for the price, and today I had some DT770's turn up that I found on the rainforest warehouse for the silly price of £17.76p, bargain of the century, absolutely perfect, and they appear to have just been an open box.

Will give them some testing tomorrow when the M6 arrives.
