I have seen some russian modders doing this. opening up the front by drilling slots as well as lot of holes in back of cup.
Cross posting here and in the measurements thread:

Has anyone tried just drilling a ton of holes in the cups and making the T50rp open backed? I know DBV tried opening up another set of vents (and hence the moniker of "double bass vents" which has lost it's original meaning but the naming remained), but has anyone gone further than that?
There's also the silly voice in my head that says after I've transplanted these drivers into the COP, I should try an open backed Sennheiser next...
I never got to try out rev.1 LCDs, but I couldn't stand the "squishy-ness" of the LCD2 rev.2 pads that I tried. I bet with the memory foam upgrade they would be supple and just wonderful. On a side note, anyone try these:

They are pads the that come with the NVX version of an Fischer FA-003 Clone/ Brainwavz hm5. Angled pleather pads, these could be interesting for those unoffended by pleather.
Ordered a pair. I have become oddly obsessed with earpads at the moment. Will have to do a big write up. Have J$ Beyer, J$ Denon, Shure, Hifiman, Audeze rev. 1, and now these for comparison. Will name a winner and sell the rest.

I cannot confirm that they fit snugly since I never tried out the original FA-003/HM5 pads, but the NVX pads are designed to fit the same clone of the previously mentioned headphone(s). With that said, they should fit. Anywho... a little electrical tape does wonders.
*Edit: They also sell the standard pad if you are looking for another pleather option

Sorry guys, but the verdict is that they don't fit. I just received my set of angled NVX pads and they are way too small. There is no way I could have gotten them on. That's the bad news.
Hello all, this is my first post. I have been following this thread for a couple weeks after finding it while researching a build of a pair high end cans. I am very pleased with the quality and sound of my modded T50RP's. I did the clay in the baffles, foam lined the shells and covered about 90% of the vent ports as well as removing the felt in front of the drivers. I like the solid balanced sound because I listen to such a variety of music styles. Thanks for all the inputs on this thread. What should my next step be? I am considering the Shure pads, and am looking into a new amp.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks again

You can slap them on top of cups or attach them via a DIY lip.
Indeed.
I have a lot of caulk. I just used a bit of it to hold the pads together and voila..they stay put.
