no mod... juz CHANGE the earpads... (u can use other headphone earpads on ad700) u can use W1000 earpads ( which are leather ) to reduce the sound leaks although it can be uncomfortable under hot weather...

Ugh.. no thanks. So there isn't a mod to change the sound then? Oh well.

I don't mind the sound leaks. This is one of the reason to get it LOL

I'll see what other mods can be done though

Hey Guys,

Im planning to get a Christmas present for myself very soon and im in a dilemma between these models,

1) ATH Pro500MK2
2) ATH M50S Limited Edition
3) ATH Pro700MK2 ( Im not sure is it available in my region, im in Switzerland currently)

Im a Trance LOVER! Especially vocal and progressive trance so which would you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

i just take out my earpads from the ad900 for cleaning, i found there is a lot of dust sticking on membrane of the driver. advice me the best way to clean the dust on the membrane without damaging it.
BTW, there is the metallic grill with holes protecting the membrane.
which way is the best to clean it:
1. use a very soft painting brush
2. use air blower that use to clean camera lens
thanks in advance

i deal with customs a lot. basic guideline is prepare between 10-20% additional of the shipping value + shipping fee combined

granted, i'm on an ad900 and it is a bit easier than the ad700 (i've opened up my can before due to polish product spill into the grill/foam )

Added on December 15, 2012, 8:06 pmbest if you auditioned them first.

i cant comment on 1/2 because never auditioned the pro500mk2 myself, and supposedly the m50s limited edition sounds different than standard m50

3 on the other hand, have really damn strong bass and to some, may be a bit overbearing.

Added on December 15, 2012, 8:08 pmbest to use 1, however no matter which method you take, treat it with extra auction

problem with 2 is that you may accidentally apply too much air pressure and damage the membrane, where as 1 it should be some what safer.
however for dirt/dust that can't be reached using a soft brush, you may attempt to use the blower to blower indirectly (like from the side) instead of directly towards the driver membrane

Custom tax eh... always kena one, when purchasing BDs from Japan. ><

Btw, CK100 reached me few days ago. Enjoicing new stuff

rm500 and above = straight 10%. rm1k above = proper assessment and that time they will bring out your item category and tax accordingly

oh and throw away your kaspersky.

Welcome to the family lol!

so i HAVE to announce how much my item is? if i lie?

LOL that... lemme see..

if shit happens to your package and you under declare, insurance will only compensate based on what you declare

if you got caught on under declare/wrong declaration by customs (eg: its a bomb and you declare it being a toy), you may be charged for criminal offense that is a few k in fine, jail term, or both

but yea sure you can declare whatever you want so long the seller is willing to do it

Aww crap...so my stuff is going to cost about $200. Then I have to ready another $20 for customs...sigh...

Also, I heard that depending the type of item, you will get extra charge. One example is that computer parts are excluded.
So I'm bringging in a DAC & AMP combo, how do I not make it be charged more than he 10% mentioned before?

aside from tax exempt/free, 10% is the lowest rate. and you're not getting any lower via legal means

ATH-PRO5MK2 and ATH-CKP300 owner here ...
Add me into the list ... XD ?
Proud of a ATH user ...

@sheenho, I went to Jaben yesterday and tested out the Pro700Mk2, it did not sounded that good. I felt the M50 was way better.

But again its weird to carry the M50 to public right? Feel so awkward. Haha

At last I bought Beats Mixr which sounded way better than both of those and also it suited my need. Each person has their own personal hearing I guess. So yeah

what amp you used?

At the first, I didn't used any amp. Then I tried it with my Fiio E07k

there's your problem right there, lol.

thought of going Jaben for a walk see only...end up now proud to be ATH-M50 owner... LOL

reporting in.... Hi everyone...
