Wow, you just made me want to upgrade my perfectly good HD58x. Thanks.

Haha, that was not my intention. I already own the HD600, so would like to have something different maybe? But if I own a HD650 again I will be just as happy. That's what I meant with 'if it comes down to that'.Wow, you just made me want to upgrade my perfectly good HD58x. Thanks.
I found some original replacement pads at Mitech. For some unknown reason, the twat waffle that has been keeping me on a string at Sennheiser South Africa all year has failed to mention that.Haha, that was not my intention.

I'll buy your HD58X regardless.
Will also consider the HD598 in a heartbeat. I miss mine so much.
PC38XI've discovered the Elite Atlas's flaw. It's not a Spring and Summer headphone. With the way the weather currently is here in Durbs I can wear for it about 3 days then the pads starting annoying my ears and as soon as they've been off my head for a day they're going moldy and need a full clean. Rinse and repeat. No other headphone pad is affected quite this badly by our current nonsense weather, it's like the pad itself sweats as well in addition to whatever it's absorbing. On the shelf it goes for now.
And the hunt continues.
Never touching that Sennie shape ever again. Sennheiser and my head are not compatible.PC38X
That's a shame. Disabilities suck.Never touching that Sennie shape ever again. Sennheiser and my head are not compatible.

I love my K240 MKII. It's fitted with big plushy brainwavez pads, so comfy.As does Sennie clamp
I decided to add another AKG to my "collection" after making that post. Should hopefully get here end of the week or early next week.
No name yet, I wanna see what it's like first before I get judged (and no it's not in the K7XX family).
Saw them on sale on amazon during black friday but never got around to researching them. They definitely look interesting but as soon as I see something labelled as "gaming" it creates doubts in my mind. I'm of the assumption that they might be good at gaming but shite elsewhere, I'm probably missing out on some good gear because of this.I am curious to know if anybody has had experience with the JBL Quantum Gaming Headphones? I have seen them being advertised recently, and didn't know until then that they made gaming headsets - wired and wireless.
Maybe it's time for me to wander into their camp.Sounds like you are describing an Audeze to me.

They aren't cheap though
Best headphones around the R5k mark is the HD560s imo, the first pair that Senn SA got came to me for a client, i have just had amazing reviews from client and from Demo'ing them in-store i can say they are really really good.Howsit gents!
On the hunt for some open back headies. Sennheiser SA will only be able to get me new pads for my HD600 sometime next year it seems...
So in the meantime, any open back suggestions in the 5k range? I buy used. Open to any recommendations.
Also willing to go for HD650/HD6XX/HD58X if it comes down to that. Just don't want to spend my holidays with worn out pads...
Ah! I think I wrote my post too ambiguous.B

Any recommendations for something warm, musical with pumping low end? I wear my headphones for hours at a time so preferably something comfortable.
I would jump on a Fostex purple heart set, but they are rare at the moment. Anyone know of someone selling?

Great choices! Enjoy them dude. Should last you a lifetime if you stop digging now.Hi, so I am new here.
I traveled a long road with always trying to get better headphones, but around year and a bit a go I became much more obsessed with Audio quality. over the past year, I watched countless hours of headphone/dac/amp reviews and after around black Friday this year I pulled the trigger and spent 5 years of savings on headphones.
Still waiting for everything to be delivered.
But the headphones arrived, and I am loving it so far.

But what does Zeos say? LOLSo something interesting and I'm not sure why this is happening.
The MH751 only has 40mm drivers. I think this is the reason I need to push it much harder than other stuff to get the same volume despite it being a no-amp easy to drive headphone.
However somehow out of all my headphones this also has the best sound separation for lack of a better term. If there are numerous different sounds happening around me I'll hear them all and where they are coming from. Whilst everything doesn't sound as sharp or quality as the better K361 and my other headphones it's a more "complete" sound image.
I don't understand how it does this with 40mm drivers and only a 20-20Khz frequency range.
The K361 is better but like all my other headphones it tends to "crush" sounds. By that I mean is it will focus on the closest sound source and everything else automatically recedes. It doesn't completely bury it like the K7XX and X2 (well the X2 doesn't even bury it, it never bothers playing it in the first place) but certain sounds are much harder to pick out.
This isn't a problem when you are listening to music or watch a TV show or movie. Everything will come through and sound great. But in an open world game it somehow just doesn't have the space for the entire sound stage...none of them do. Except the MH751 it seems. And that doesn't make sense given numbers wise it's the weakest by a significant margin.
These are situations outside his testingBut what does Zeos say? LOL
No no no, don't read too much into my reply. I was just teasing. If you're happy with one man's opinion, then that's happiness from my side.These are situations outside his testing
I only listen to the guy because I feel he gives a more complete or easier to understand image than the others if you feel I rely on him too much or that he's a pompous ass, (I have checked them but just on sheer volume alone they can't compete and then they chuck around way more musical terms I don't know)
Both are however Zeos approved.
It's almost more valuable to find one reviewer whose taste overlaps with your own, than to try compare lots of different reviewers each time. There is a movie critic who has similar taste to me, so when a movie gets mixed reviews (e.g. Joker), I don't go with the average score of reviews of the movie, I check that particular critic's score to decide if I will like it.No no no, don't read too much into my reply.
