Some additional notes on HE-560s coming up. The pre-prod pads are ideal for it IMO.

That's my type of shoot-out: throw all the headphones in a box and shake it, the one that still works is the winner.

You might wind up with a DT48 that way...

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

A great read!  If only you had seen my Head-Fi pm sooner about the TH900s going for $1100 on SonicSense.com a few months ago.  Thank you for your time on this guide!

I missed that deal.

Marv, if you are set on a pair of good sounding TH900s, Oregonian sold his pair which is now being resold at an excellent price considering they are Lawton-modded...

Haha.  Actually each phone was placed that way very carefully.  We were going for overall effect that's for sure.

Lol, somehow I don't think shaking up a 007, HE6, Jade, HP1000, W3000, DIY WongStats and LCD3 will result in a DT48.

Heh, well I meant if you literally threw a whole bunch of headphones in a box and shook violently, the DT48 would probably be the survivor. The amperior probably second, or perhaps the Aiaiai TMA.

LOL! Not sure but, hey, you can always test then measure and then compare with your older TH900 measurements! :)
