Do the Shure 1540 pads crush against your head a bit more than the Brainwavz Hybrids? The Shure pads are on backorder, so I got the Hybrids in the meantime. I'm not using the toilet paper thing, and I find there's a bit of a muffled nature to the sound. Just me?

2016-04-24 18:55:50 +0000 UTCAre you going to try the T40RP Mk3?
2016-03-18 23:53:21 +0000 UTCCan't see the roll off being the case by default. These are not bass-lite cans with stock pads.

2016-03-18 14:46:17 +0000 UTCI read on InnerFidelity that the Mk3's rolls off significantly below 100Hz. Will using the 1540 pads help prevent this or is this something only modding the cups fix? I mainly listen to EDM. I have the Mad Dog Pro, DT880 600 ohm and X2 currently. I love the sound from them.

2016-03-15 04:59:22 +0000 UTCAmazon reviews say best headphones under $500, but here's the catch, with the other $300 you'll need a small nuclear power plant to listen to them. With that being said, is there an amp under $100 that'll power these?
2016-03-15 03:15:22 +0000 UTCMine came on Saturday. I purchased the Fostex HP-A4 in advance hoping on bent knee that it would power these bad boys. It did. Barely. Volume knob at 3 o'clock on high gain.
2016-03-14 19:29:24 +0000 UTCAlready ordered. Delivery expected in next few days. Can't wait to try em out!!!
