    Dear Purrin. Do you measure "modded Z7" ? I modded mine, and I think it is very good to what I can hear. But I guess I need solid measurements to give proof for the people, and I can't do anything of short.

    How about the Sennheiser HD26 Pro? I've heard good things about this redesigned HD25 and the headset version seems ubiquitous for pro video production (watched any televised sports lately?).

    Dharma vote from me. I own it and love the bass and would love to see how it looks on the measurements.

    FYI - I have tried four other pads on it as well and the Audeze really brings out the bass (yes, I'm a basshead at heart).

    About the Sonus Faber Pryma, GREQ was kind enough to measure the inside of the earpad and it's 70 mm high (see photos). Please add it to the poll.

    Also, it's probably best to take down the ones we've already bought so people voting don't get confused. Thanks.

    I vote for the RBH HP2. New driver material for headphones (beryllium), made by a company with good engineering and good prices.
