Does anyone know if there are replacement filters available somewhere? I took mine out to clean because it was absolutely caked with wax and...dropped it on the carpet, lost forever.
I listened to them without the filter, but noticed that something was different immediately, so I took the filter out of the other side too. The low end is quite a bit lighter without the filter (though retains all of the depth, and perhaps even better texture and definition), and there seems to be a bit more air up top; probably akin to what they would sound like if they were a BA set, haha. They still sound wonderful, but my GR07s are supposed to be my "bassy" set of headphones (considering that my other set is a pair of Audio Technica AD900), and I'm missing that little bit of extra weight and punch. Isolation seems to be effected as well, and not in a good way.
Some of you might want to see how it sounds if you find the GR07 a bit bassy or lacking air.
*EDIT*
It seems I wasn't getting a proper seal in one ear, which is odd considering I've been using the same silicon flanges without trouble since I got them. There still might be a shade of the changes I described above, however. The isolation issue is perplexing, to say the least. It's not so much an isolation issue as it is a sort of...reverberation of outside noise inside of the housing. It sounds like it's part of the music, like it fits right in the soundstage. It's very odd. That's what it sounds like, anyway, and it's only on one side. Any ideas what could be going on here?
