Coin mod
About the coin mod on the 414 pads: How does it affect the sound signature of the phones?I just got a pair of SR-60s w/ 414 pads but haven't performed the mod as I want to make sure the change is suitable to my tastes.

. I modded the first pair and have kept the second in the sealed package so they'll be fresh when I need them.Flat pads have always been the expensive option. I'd like to see a silicon rubber earcup that is more circumaural in the future, as a DIY project, maybe. And yeah, the Grados look awesome, especially with my amp, a JMT built CMOY variation. I'm trying to remember where that thread was at the moment. I'm cooler when I'm ing,Abe |

I have mixed feelings about them so far. I was sort of disappointed as to how much punch these things have, I expected a bit more to be honest, but it's definitely not bad at all. These things sound off like they have a pair, especially when you throw any sort of rock at them whatsoever. They are clear, tight, and crisp. Bass is nice, clean, and punchy. Treble is sort of what I've been looking for. The sort of sound that lets you know exactly when and where those cymbals are going off, I love that. The mids are very smooth and clear. Overall, I'm pretty happy so far in the first 30 mins of listening to these cans. However, I do have one thing to complain about, and that's about the comfort of these things. I don't know what you guys are talking about them being uncomfortable or anything like that, but they feel just fine. I don't know how heavy the 225s or 325s are but these things are as light as a feather. They are supraural, but they're nothing terrible at all. The driver housing is quite a bit larger than what pictures lead you to believe which added to my surprise as to how uncomfortable they weren't. After spending more time with them, I'll have a better idea of what I think of them. But so far, very good. |

Hey seeberg, where did you get them in the US? I tried googling it but I only get European sellers...
I still haven't listened to the SR225. I'm really getting curious about those. |

I don't know if internationally based pages have quite the same content. (PS-sorry about clogging up the thread with individual replies to quotes. I don't know how to compile them ) |
I'll check out those Senn pads...

Oh, and what's with that "new Grado smell"? They smell like my dad's old christmas decorations when we take them out at the beginning of December. Not that's it's overpowering or overly odiferous, it's just kinda weird. |
