Zeos I have a pair of T60rp’s and I am looking to get a leather headband. Would understated Montreal do it? I figure it makes sense since I live in Canada anyways.
Focal Elex, where art thou? You and DMS thought it was the best Focal, if I remember. No love, even after specifically mentioning all the Drop mod sets?

Epic… No THX Panda’s? Looking for a bluetooth option sub 500
do the need to be closed back?
Do you still recommend the Fostex TR-X00?
I know you’re probably waiting for the man himself, but I encourage you to look at this topic in the forum. The Fostex Biodynamic headphones have a “cult following” here and a lot of people can help you if you are looking for one and/or have some doubts.
Also, welcome to you and all the new people posting here. The community is great and very helpful, so search out and don’t be afraid of asking in the topics.

Thank you fabiokelm. I was thinking maybe the DT1990 or sennheiser 660s. But I will look those up, I know Zeos seems to like the Fostex sets

Yes, looking for a casual set mostly to travel with.
aparently the M&O are on that list and Bluetooth, are you using an iPhone or Android phone? if you are iPhone look for the AAC codec, if you have android see what codecs your phone support and if you have up to LDAC then stuff like the pandas could be pretty great, if you need the ANC then the sony’s or QC35 are the best bet for that but not the best sound quality, and if you just need it to be Bluetooth then you can always get something like a BTR5 and turn your wired headphones into wireless so you can use something very comfortable like the meze 99s
If you can get them at a good price they are a great option for a detailed and bassy sound without totally loosing the mids. Listen to fabiokelm and check out the thread he linked.

Have a samsung note 20 which I believe does support LDAC… I’ve been eyeing the pandas and was just curious why they didnt make the wall after his solid review… I’ll take a look at your suggestions, thanks!
actually no the note 20 supports LDAC (though i dunno about the ultra), if NOT then aptX is decent enough for spotify… also part of the reason the pandas are so good is also because of LDAC in general… get the pandas if you need closed back and bluetooth, if you dont mind a wire on the headphones but still bluetooth for the note… get the BTR5

Actually Verum 1 mk2. That’s the redesign of the original cat ear headband and new perforated pads.
He was experimenting on a new headphone called Verum 2 before he was ban-hammered everywhere who knows if it will ever see the light of day. Probably not.
Semantics 
From what I read, not his brightest maneuver to write what he wrote.
Id be remiss if I didn’t say the GoldPlanar GL2000 , link above
Absolutely, Hard to contact them Gotta find their Instagram.
Never owned, Only borrowed and wanted. They would def be up there otherwise.
Just arrived today, Not even unboxed. They took them back after my review.
In PurpleHeart, yes.
Verum 1 . I will hold onto them but the creator has made some … REMARKABLY BAD choices in his internet life and needs to not be promoted.

it seems zeos has a preference
specifically large sound stage and a good amount of bass (and definitely planars and DSP)
Thank you Zeos I was eyeing that one as well. Any specific amp/dac recommendation to power them? Price under $1000 for amp and dac
tbh im getting some grado SR80e’s (i love how they sounded when i was at a booth), but i am kinda wondering about doing the 225e’s because those are really well respected and considered a bump up but i feel like zeos hates them (and the GW100 are tempting BUT i dont use bluetooth on my computer because my laptop doesn’t need it and i am using a dacamp anyway), im also going to use a hip dac
