FS: Audio Technica ATH-ES7 White (Modded + 2 Sets of HD25 Pads) UK Buyers Only

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

Price: £60.00  (+£5.00 P&P) (selling via eBay)

 

Selling my treasured ES7's. Only selling because I need the money now, saving up to buy the AiAiAi TMA-1's

 

 

Details of modification:

 

Headband mod, straightened for more comfort, less clamp

 

Bluetack + Cork mod + without padding, treble sparkles more, mids are clearer and because I didn't stuff the cans, the bass is stronger but doesn't affect the mids

 

Replaced earpads, they are now the OEM Sennheiser HD25 Pleather earpads and I also have the HD25 Velour earpads included. Another mod was also done, where I placed a ring on the inside of the earpads to raise the pads from the driver for more comfort and clarity

 

I have had these headphones for under 2 years. They are fully burned in so you shouldn't expect any more noticeable changes in the sound. They are in excellent excellent condition and I hope these end up with someone that also appreciates all the mods and effort I have put in to these headphones.

 

Please buy via eBay where I have listed it (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280565375127#ht_2426wt_1139).  Photos are there, but if you have any more questions and would like more detail on the mods, just post below.

Hello I'm new to the Head-fi Forum but I've been browsing around the last few days. Since I have a close friend who lives in the same boarding house who has the ATH-ES7 headphones, I've been fascinated by them. I just can't wait for mine to arrive. Only problem being that I ordered them from HK and I don't know if they're gonna be a legit pair so in case it all goes horribly wrong and I won't even be able to send them back I'm considering your offer.

I've always been a fan of modding because I think often you're paying a lot of money for a brand name and not for a quality product when you can buy something cheaper and modify it to fit your needs. Obviously for headphones the amount of research that goes into the headphones needs to reflect itself in the price as it has to incorporate the risk that they won't be successful. Also, I don't know because I'm a newbie in this area of expertise, but I can imagine that some of the cost will also stem from custom driver manufacturing and the assembly of parts shipped from all around the world to produce a quality headphone.

 

As I said I'm new but I'm getting a bit a head of myself but if it turns out the headphones are fake (the ones I ordered from Honk Kong) then if your offer still stands I would very much consider buying them! I live in Bishop's Stortford most of the time as I go to school here so in terms of shipping I don't think there'd be an issue but tell me what you think.

 

Much love expressed for your modded ATH-ES7,

 

JackBlind
