You make some excellent points, especially the bit about the quality of the Noire's bass impact. I find that it does vary based on the filters and also source. I settled on the stock white felt + black felt insert, and the bass, at least to my ears, is solid, defined, and hard-hitting, though...

Thank you kindly! I was sadly underwhelmed by the Stellia. The tonality and timbre are indeed fantastic. But I expected much more in terms of detail retrieval, and even setting detail retrieval aside, I found its separation, surface clarity, and transparency to be weak. Stock, my favourite is...

*Raises hands* I'm guilty of "pumping and dumping" them--I've probably bought and sold at least half a dozen Teaks over the years. The fact that I keep returning to them though, I think says it all. I've owned the Fostex TH900 and Klipsch HP-3 and auditioned the Denon D9200 and the Teaks are...

I did indeed. The changes I outlined with regards to the pads are with the stock Teaks: "The ear pads produce the most significant change in terms of technicalities: much improved clarity, transparency, separation, soundstage, bass definition, etc. " Hope that helps!

The Lawton Level 2 upgrade is 110% worth it to my ears. The ear pads produce the most significant change in terms of technicalities: much improved clarity, transparency, separation, soundstage, bass definition, etc. The ear cups (mine are Bolivian Rosewood) enhance the soundstage dramatically...

Cross-posted from the DT 1770 Pro thread I'm surprised no one has highlighted the stark variation in sound between earlier batches of the DT 1770 Pro and latter batches. The first DT 1770 Pro I owned was S/N 825. It didn't matter what I tried: pad rolling, bass port modding, Dekoni pads...
