E-MU Teak Headphones w/ Removable Cable

Here's what I posted on the Head-Fi Deals thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/692119/the-deals-discussion-thread-read-the-first-post/20460_30#post_12430233
"So, same drivers as the TH600 and MD-THX00 headphones too. Earcups and pads (and driver matching tolerance) make a noticeable difference in SQ, certain people pay more for refinements in those areas... But then, for many, they liked the sound signature of the THX00 better than the more V-shaped TH600/900, so it's always personal preference at the end of the day.
Drivers definitely are reactive to your audio chain too, sound quite good on Mid-Fi stuff but get much more full and rich-sounding with $1k+ amps. Heard an enjoyable sound with the Fostex TH-900 + HP-A4 DAC/Amp at CanJam RMAF October (I now own an HP-A4), but the same TH-900 plugged into the $8k Fostex tube amp right next to it made a VERY NOTICABLE difference and was one of the two (pleasurably) spine-chilling experiences I had at RMAF. The more I learn... the more I realize my endgame setups will have a much more expensive audio chain than the final headphones at the end.
Just saying, it's a good deal, quite pretty aesthetics, and I've heard EXCELLENT things from those drivers... but don't buy expecting identical sound as the Denon D5000. Might be more, or less, your preference. PM me I you get them and link to an impressions thread!!!
