First, many thanks to gelocks for sending these my way. I had them already for quite a while and dude has been more than understanding. Thanks mate! :)p5
This is a very surprising set of cans. In a good way. Given the somewhat ol fashion, studio like appearance, I was expecting DT-48 like performance. Wrong. These are actually quite pleasant. I wouldn't call them the most resolving cans in the world but pretty darn good IMO.
These are sort of dark and warm in the sense that mids seem a bit depressed relative to bass. They are not shy on treble, but it's not very resolving there. They don't give me sound burn like the DT-990s which is a big plus. They are fun and do have some u-shape tendencies, but not too exaggerated. I did not find them fatiguing (sound wise). Mids are pretty clean so vocals do seem to retain good depth to them. Electric guitars on the other hand do seem to loose some detail. In these sense these are fairly forgiving.
Bass does go satisfyingly deep (maybe not ortho-crazy-deep tho), and will not hold back on punch when called for. IMO these are a great set of cans. However, there is a price to be paid in terms of comfort. The pads on these are a bit stiff and may cause some pain over time. Maverickronin will likely go monkey ass on the headband of these.
So pretty plots:

LOL, I'm gonna do what now?

LOL!!!
Regarding the headphone, yeah, comfort sucks and especially with those worn-out pads as well! Have to see if there are any other oem pads that fit well. Sound is actually quite good for being 'semi-vintage'. I actually enjoyed them more than other expensive headphones I've tried.
Thanks g.!

Errr... You would likely fix them for comfort, or something like that. Hairdryer might not suffice.

Thanks mate! Yes. It's a decent fun can, and I liked it's mids.

I could do custom pads too. Ultrasuede + memory foam is pretty comfy. Sounds good too.
I need to get around to posting some pictures of the pads I made for my Lambdas...

Moar brownie points if you do so :)p1

Nice! I need to do that (new pads) for a couple of headphones.
