One of my strongest opinions in this hobby is that the ESP 95/x when EQed to your preferences is the single best headphone you can buy from a cost performance standpoint. Doubly so if you dont already have a nice amp. Its detail is simply off the charts at 400 bucks, competes with things 1k+ easily. Just has a sleepy FR out the box.
I just recently got a 95X myself, and I personally find it incredibly lean and bright! Painfully so. I think I enjoyed the stock HD800 more.
But I’m already trying some mods, primarily with pads, and it’s quickly shaping up into something nice. I just don’t think I get on well with it’s velour pads.
@Hands , throw a Loki on that rig. Made me want to dust off that ESP-950 after 2 years in a box. It’s my main hp rig now even with a schitty old ds dac.
mmhm @Hands performing a pad swap is the single easier and worthwhile "mod" I feel, and yea @TazerMonkey congrats man! I too feel 95X is easily one of the very best headphones you can buy from a cost/performance view. It's "value" or bang for the buck is tough to beat
