Cork has been used for lining inside speaker cabinets, I have seen this but don't recall any particular brand. I think you are better off using felt and foam in headphones.
Does anyone tried other than XB700 pads on T30? Shure HPAEC 550 bit bigger then original but does fit okay.
They bit softer, and I can listen T30 for hour or two with this pads.
Is there any other on-ear pads suggestions? Bought broken pair of XB600, waiting them for arrive. I like fit of new XB's with this memory foam, but don't know how they fit Fostex yet.
Also, just curious, what color of bass lens in yours Т30?
i have place both of it inside the housing, as the opposites of stock position..under the mineral wool..
me & gurubhai have the same silver fork T30 that used to be a japan only version
Who here would like to see a pioneer monitor 10, fostex t50rp mashup?

black lens on the baffles ? is it made from felt as well ?
but i put the maroon felt+black fabric (from baffles) under the yellow mineral wool..then sound more balance now..
DO IT
Here's my second overall driver transplant/first ortho driver transplant. Amazing what being bored can do!
Well, I was fooling around with an old vintage pair of cans (Ross RE-257) that I had already dissected, taking it apart because I was curious.
Lo and behold, I discovered that the part of the baffle which housed the old drivers measured roughly 55mm.
I also had a pair of TDS-5 drivers that looked like they would fit, and indeed they did!
So I soldered the drivers on and damped it first with the donut of stock damping foam
I added a donut of felt on top of the foam (sorry for the blur)
Tried them with some old pads I had on hand without permanently affixing the pads and initial sound impressions are pretty good!
The Monitor 10 is a very nice can as well.
Yep.
In theory, placing ring of felt on the back side should work opposite to reflective dot which brighten highs. In my opinion there is more sense to place damping from the center of driver(at least for iso-dynamics) as Faust described in wikiphonia article about T30. I like stock damping of non-silver version anyway, as I need one pair of slightly drakish cans for enjoying doom/stoner.
As of cracking, I also think about replacing headband with something foldable like ATH-M50, as stock headband is not most comfortable in the world. But forks of M50 bit bigger then T30 forks if I not mistaken. It would be great, if someone could suggest foldable headband that might fit T30.
If i were you I would also look into a top notch Fostex T50RP headband that fits under the stock headache rack they call a headband.
There's volume and I bet lots of demand there.
