HD 580 improved sound by wearing thick wollen balaclava.

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Hello all,

 

I'd like you guys to try an experiment. If you have the open air sort of headphones try wearing a wollen cap or balaclava over them while listening. Do you observe a sound 'improvement' ?

 

One cold evening I wore a home knitted variety of woolen balaclava over my HD580s and the sound sort of became more detailed and lush. It was noticeable but not so extreme as if it was a different set of 'phones.

 

I have a theory, instead of an open grill it became 'semi closed', letting some sound reflect back to the ear.

 

Tell me what you think.

 

Cheers,

FW

I put ear plugs in my ears and then crank the volume. It significantly improves the sound of any headphone.
