Default Panasonic RP-HTX7 Mod [56K WARNING]

So I was thinking how K81DJ can be improved by just removing the foam pad inside, than I figure the reverse will work for RP-HTX7, which has been known to be a little harsh. Since I have some old replacement foam pad that I bought years ago, I give it a try. The foam pad was cut so only one side is left, than it was taped in with some 3M Command tape.

The result isn't something amazing, but it does work well on taking the edge off. Overall, now my RP-HTX7 is less harsh (and more enjoyable). Doing this will made the sound slightly muddier than before, but consider that the headphone's mid is used to be relatively weak (compare to its high/bass), this mod works well on redistributing the sound to all range

Before mod


Pad can be removed by applying little pressure on its four corner, notice the four small hook on the pad.




3M Command tape




One side done


Finished

why the heck hasn't anyone replied to this yet?! This kind of work and effort should be always applauded, right? Isn't this why we head-fiers here can enjoy better phones with less money spent?

I say good work ClieOS!

I got them today and they ARE pretty good for the price point like others have said. Actually they really sparkles with some of my albums, but really not so for others.

I have these cans, but have not tried this mod yet. From what I can see in the pictures, I reckon it should be possible to do this mod without removing the ear pads. Has anyone tried this?

Cheers,
morkli.
