Was looking for a new pair of closed backs and got these a couple days ago second hand and I have read this series is very popular among the modding community but I didn't realise how much modding these can change the sound, I slapped some new pads on these and they sound gorgeous with a good slam in the bass and crisp highs, the mids are a bit recessed but I think that is to do with the pads as they where less so with the stock pads.

​

I don't see many of these on here but these are great would recommend :)

I recently got the T50RP used and I agree, they’re amazing! Especially for the price and because of its modding potential. I slapped some Alpha pads on mine, lined the cups with a couple of cents worth of felt, taped the bass vents, which turned them into bass cannons.

I believe the reason why they don’t get recommended much is since they do require a decent amp. The Apple dongle is NOT enough, but the Qudelix 5k pairs well with it. Unbalanced is fine as well.

Another reason is the stock tuning is kinda meh. Great mids, but that’s pretty much it. And they can get fatiguing after a bit. I highly, highly recommend them as well… but only if you plan to mod them eventually and have a powerful amp.

Pads get you 90% there, but they need to be the right ones. SRH840 earpads work for me.
