    Really, really good. I was going to hold off on using them til my fresh TH900 drivers came in, but decided to put them on the X00 anyway with driver vent tweaks. Vented cups means I could seal off the baffle (normally there's a port) without trapping too much energy in the cups. Way smoother than expected even with little to no cup damping.

    @Vtory yes it's destined to become an ESX900 pending arrival of new drivers tomorrow. This was the first batch of vented cups, next round might go a little smaller and put the vents in different places. This is just a proto pair for me personally. Open and vented cups are something my woodworker is happy to accommodate as-needed for commissions. 100% custom spec.

    Also in the midst of revising my wood cups as well. Will be fun to see how the wood cup projects evolve.
