The mod proposed here is so awesome!!

http://www.head-fi.org/t/615030/unleash-the-full-potential-of-your-brainwavz-hm5-or-fa-003-with-mods

I don´t know if I even like them better than the M-100 for home listening...

And a little bit of cotton... Wonderfull!!!

The soundstage goes several levels up!!

Where's the cotton?
I'm taking the plunge!!!! and will hopefully be coming out the other side with sansa clip+ and lindy premium (Brainwavz are out of stock on uk amazon)

The cotton goes in the cups. You have a link in my previous post to the mod instructions.

what about the set up though, will sansa clip+ to Lindy premium hifi headphones be high enough volume?

headphone man07 · Mar 24, 2013 at 8:18 AM

I had a look at the thread, seems easy enough

Yes, these headphones are SUPER easy to drive. That is the exact same setup I have and they sound great.

How loud? Painful on full? They have been ordered now so no going back

Ashade · Mar 25, 2013 at 10:31 AM

IMO, they can go really really loud. At least with all my sources and I mean without amping.

headphone man07 · Mar 25, 2013 at 10:56 AM

back when I was a beats lover volume was all a cared about, check this out: http://www.head-fi.org/t/640808/why-have-we-become-audiophiles/30#post_9227387 Oh and post in to it!

I use:
- Galaxy Note II N7100
- Nexus 10
- Lenovo Yoga
- iMac 27" late 2009
- Paired sometimes with Fiio E07K

But I never raise the volume to 100% with any of my devices (completely impossible, to be honest, that would blow my ears).

headphone man07 · Mar 26, 2013 at 1:40 PM

Finally! they should be coming today, very excited

!!!

Ashade · Mar 26, 2013 at 10:31 PM

I am pretty sure you won't be disappointed! Just remember to leave it 24h or more with some books in between to reduce the clamping force. After the first week of use, these will become very very comfortable. You can take advantage of it and maybe burn them in, that's up to you.
