An (even easier) AKG K550 Small Head Mod - Page 3

Hey!
I have a relatively small head, and I'm a girl, so I'm guessing my head will be quite a bit smaller than even a small guys head... Do you think the elastic band mod would work for me?
Any small-headed girls out there had experience of these phones and how they fit?
Ta muchly for any advice people have smily_headphones1.gif

I'm not a girl, but I imagine so. I mean, my wife's head is bigger than mine but she also has more hair. It's completely reversible so if it doesn't work, you haven't done anything permanent to your 550's.

 

On a side note, since it's during the winter, I've been listening to the K550's while wearing my winter cap (sort of like a ski hat) and it puts just enough extra girth around my head to make the K550 fit nice and snug..lol

 

so there's that...

Hello, what about replacing the pads with Sony XB700 earpads? They are really huge, I have the xb700 and I will buy the K550 soon.

Interested in knowing how they fit.

I would also be interested to see how they fit, but they are huge...pillow-like...I suspect they would push the K550 drivers even further away from the ear making it sound thinner.

Those pads heat up real quick too...one of the reasons I ultimately sold my XB 700.
