np will do.  Oh man... I'm not liking the ear pads at all.  They are so stiff... and uncomfortable.  I need another...lol.  Any suggestions?  And where to get them?

Thats the other reason I wasn't interested in the th-02. SUPRAAURAL :) And cheap supraaural means vinyl pads usually so it may not be that comfy.

They are larger supra auras and I find them decent in terms of comfort. I think I could game with them. So far they are not too bad. A bit reverby from internal cup resonances. The plastic resonates too. These issue can be fixed.

Planning a driver transplant with these. From what I have read the driver could be well worth it.

Ya I can hear some reverb.  I think it hurts for me because I'm using my glasses with it.  When it isn't on its not bad.

I had to do some minor modifications to these guys to get them to sit on my head properly -- even the smallest setting was several clicks too big for my head! My personal experiences was that these guys had a decent amount of bass roll-off and were uncomfortable as sin, but I've later realized that both of these problems were related to me being unable to wear them properly and get a good seal.

I busted out my Silverstone acoustic foam and applied two layers to the headband to kind of artificially make my head longer. Now I'm able to properly get a seal when I wear them. Initial impressions are quite good.

I tried cutting a small piece of sock and taping it onto the lids.  It seems to have taken off some treble but it doesn't sound as open.  But still clear.  Bass doesn't seem too affected by this also... only way to find out to see if it worked would be to test um.  I'm just going by hearing.  I also cut some small long pieces to put along the inside of the cup near the wires.  Just fiddling around.  Hard to tell if it really worked...lol

So I took one side out of the socks, and put back on the lid.  The bass is more pronounced on the side I didn't take out the Sock. 
The side without the sock sounds more open but still has some reverb...hmmm  :-Z 
Anyone else fiddle around with theirs?

I did, I tried stuffing the cups with cotton and some sort of hemp fiber fluff. I couldn't strike a nice balance since most trials resulted in diminished sub-bass, so I took it out. Think I need something to dampen without reducing the cup volume as much, however, I'd rather fix the structural resonances which I feel are drowning the details more.
