@loplop, I hear you, but I tend to be a realist. That is the world that we actually live in, not the world we want to live in. Companies have the...
Although I don't particularly love wealthy corporations I think people are placing blame in the wrong place. People can justify it as much as they...
I've just started listening to these now on loan from a friend who also forgot the leather pads so listening with velour. Too early to say...

I have to say I don't find them overly dark, actually more treble than I was expecting based on what I had read. I do at times sense the slight...
I haven't had quite enough time yet, plus audio memory is unreliable and while I have owned a lot of headphones: LCD2F, TH900/TH600, HE560/HE400i,...
