THE SITHEISER : A Fully Modded Sennheiser HD590 (w/pics) - the cable looks great and my first one ever.
Hey there!
I have before you the SITHEISER
First of all this is my first full headphone mod.
This was done using a stock HD590 that had been hardwired.
This is the first headphone cable I have ever made and it turned out awesome.
It is:
- Full Quad Braid (4 conductor)
- Gold connectors and used silver solder
- 18AWG OFC (99.997%) Copper that is microstranded (for durability).
- Duel Entry (previously single entry)
Improvements
- More treble/sparkle
- More Bass extension
- Much More balanced
- Great Vocals
- Much more soundstage
- Slightly more detail
- Better imaging
- Faster
- Much less dark sound than previously
They also look a lot nicer now too!
The old cable was smaller than one of the new conductors. It is literally now about 15x's the previous bandwidth.
On to the PICS!
