    A little safety PSA, I'm a Canadian that has worked a lot with tools when its cold out, you have to be careful using power tools while wearing gloves, its not uncommon for peoples gloves to get caught in tools and rip a finger off. Seeing you wear a glove while using a hole saw with pretty large holes on the side if the blade, made me squirm. I'm not trying to tell you how to use your own tools, but I know a couple guys that have lost their fingers that way and I had to mention it for the sake of my conscience.

      My brother is a machinist by trade and he had some horror stories. If that drill press was any bigger or stronger I would have been barehanded or use some sort of Jig, but that ryobi is a little baby weakling.

      Zeos, it doesn’t matter how powerful or under powered tools are. They all have a tremendous amount of torque. I’ve heard of guys having their hand skin peeled off and left in the glove

      @@ZReviews I'm a paramedic and I can say with anecdotal experience that you do not want to have gloves on with any power tool. Even a cordless Ryobi hand drill can literally break your fingers if the glove catches.
      Seriously. Just make a habit out of popping your gloves off before you turn a tool on, just like you'd unplug the tool before changing the blade.

    I bought a pair a while back just to see how terrible they were. They’re wired in mono and the build is so terrible that I’m afraid if I sneeze with a pair on my head they might shatter.
    They sit on my headphone wall right next to my Phillips in shame 😂 can’t wait to see you rip them apart!

    Still into budget listening, just ordered SHP9500S's. It's very hard to get regular ones in Poland, probably because they are an old model... But I'm gonna get them while I can. And Yea, I know I could invest a little more and get something better. Buuut xD You're talking to a man who's 1st experience with semi to fully opened headphones was Samson's sr850's. I'm easy to please, I still love these and the dreaded headphone dimishing returns didn't hit me yet :)
    God bless ya Z, You and Dankpods are the reason I got into investing in something better, than whatever lies on the shelves.

    ZEOS.
    Firstly, enjoyed watching you tear these dookers apart lmao. Secondly, there may be a solution to the NDH 20 pads.
    You've probably heard that the NDH 30's are out. On Neumann's website, the pads look like a slightly bigger, thicker, more luscious NDH 20 pad. These might be the only chance at a more comfortable pad that doesn't drastically change the signature. I called Sennheiser USA and eventually got through to the parts guy (think his name is Bruce, he's cool af). Basically he said that the 30's are hella new, and once they come in, it should be just a few weeks before the pads/other parts are in stock.
    Dude. If you can get your hands on the NDH 30 pads (maybe the headphones themselves too??) I am just dying to see if they help the 20's. These headphones are magical, but the fatigue is so unfortunate

    Maybe not the best video to ask this but this is the newest video.
    So I have a pair of Mackie MC-450s and I absolute adore them and their flatness however in the last 1.5 years I have had to send them in for 3 repairs, now today they have gone faulty again admittign a buzzy noise at certain frequencies. Everytome I do this is costs me £25 to send them back so these have now cost me an extra £100 over the space of 2 years.
    I need to find a replacement for them, something that has a very similar sound signature, can ZEOS or anyone else recommend some cans?

    As an owner of the Fidelio X1, X2, and X2hr, I have never liked the shp9500. I would gladly pay the extra $ for the upgrade in sound and build quality. They are, "fine," but not the 5 star wunderkind that everyone makes them out to be.
    However, I believe you when you say the Magnavox version is terrible.

    Burn in the stock cable separately then burn in the headphones with a different cable. The bass will come back buttery and the soundstage will be soooo spacious. I thought this was pretty obvious but I guess some folks just don't know how to get good audio.

      I burned it it with a Square wave tone at 140db and after 136 hours it did improve the transients in the mid-bass to almost perfect Harmon levels. I was super impressed. Then I applied a fatty acid soak to soften the outer insulation which not only made the cable flexible and straight but unlocked all the potential keeping the 840-3,240hz range in a stagnant factory state. I could swear Luther Vandrose was singing right inside me after the treatment. I also took LSD which helped a fair amount with the overall sound.
