Refusal to take responsibility.
Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...

Only thing that comes short, relative to the dynamics I have or have listened to, is that they have more bass, and (huge for perception) much more bass distortion. Transients are to die for, but there is no 1-2% bass distortion, the harmonics we then perceive as bass.
Prompted by an engineer in the headfi forum, I looked for and found a "harmonic exciter" that I've added to foobar. Bleep the EQ, sounds to me like I'm listening to dynamics now, and have transients to die for at the same time. Go to headfi forum for more info. Look for my nym, or "exciter".
I added some Vesper Audio pads, and they are a big improvement over the skinny standard Koss pads. Sounds like the Massdrop change is a real improvement over stock - especially considering what I paid for my Alcantara/Red Leather bespoke pads!! Note, IMO, they didn't make much difference in the bass, but they got the things a little further away from my ears, which I like.
This has already generated buzz in the forum. Good luck with this, and hopefully they can clean up the mfg and consistently get rid of the squeal. That would be Marvelous!
