They look brand new from here!
And hang on to that Phrenology bust--in the age of Trump, that science is poised to make a come back ;- )

Which set of tuning pads are best for adding bass? I am running them in with the standard white pads and, although these phones are accurate, I would appreciate a little more pronounced bass.
Thanks.

...would a ifi Zen Dac version one--the combination amp/dac that came out about a year or two ago and this year came out in a version two--have enough juice to drive these?

The support, Small story, Big problem....600$ down the drain
So I ordered a Massdrop X Focal Elex Headphone. I was so happy that I could finally do it where I live with a poor salary and it took me two months to do so. I'm 22 btw. Any how, I put the wrong address by accident and it has been and hour since I noticed it. I tried to change it, but it said "Internal error". So as many will do, I decided to contact Drop's support. In the first time, they replied within 1 hour which is above my expectation. They said that it will be fixed, and there will be no issues since it was not shipped yet. However, the 2nd day and it gets shipped...the address has not changed in the waybill...everything is still the same. Tried contacting them another time, no reply. 3 Days have passed now....and still no reply about the situation. What's bothering me if that shipment goes to the old address. It will be terminated, for good. I never cared about money, but It took me too much time to collect and actually buy a high-end headphone for the first time...

Kinera releases it's latest all-ba IEM, Kinera Skuld. It's equipped with 5(two custom tuned+3 Knowles)ba driver. It has a impressive super flat frequency response bested only by the Odin in their Lineup. The hand painted shells looks stunningly beautiful.

Surprised you never see people posting shots of their 6XX headphones on this site. Guess the didn't sell very well--probably sound pretty crappy?

Is and AMP/DAC needed to get the most out of the HD58x?
I recently bought the HD58x headphones and i was wondering if i needed and AMP/DAC to get the most out of them. I previously used the Razer Kraken v2's and since upgrading to the HD58x i haven't really noticed a difference. I am using them with my Mac Mini M1.

I've just about finished up my theatre room setup, and I'll share some pictures of the whole thing on the gear thread. But despite the fact that I have a lot of great modern gear that may sound better, these guys are still my most beloved headphones because of the sheer luck of finding them, and their ties to the very beginning of the hobby.
I may be a sentimental fool, but just wanted to share where they landed.
You can see some images from when these were in their prime on the Koss history site: https://www.koss.com/history/
