HD-330 : Good value & sound (bassy)

Of course these are not to be compared to Beyerdynamics even though they mimic the look (and parts may be interchangeable externally). Cheap plastic smell (which goes away) and coiled cable that prefers to stay coiled (I use an extension instead). Comfortable fit (nice and tight!).

Sound for bass is excellent, maybe a little muddy but if you like bass you'll like these. Highs are good too but still warmed. Mids are what people call "recessed" but for some music that's how it should be!

Pad swaps help - so far only swapped pads, not foam in front or behind drivers. Original AKG K240Mk2 pleather pads evened the sound range but original Beyerdynamic EDT 770 V(elour) seem to smooth everything even more (and are so comfortable and double the value of the headphones!).

There are many headphones four or five times as costly which provide worse listening experience.
