Quote:   Hello there, I'm afraid that I can't sell my modded RP-HTX 7. The headphone is 5 years old already and in worn condition (due hours of heavy usage). So wisely I could not recommend mine for you. Good thing is, nowadays there's so much great line of headphones already. I might...

I'm buying shiny one too.....This one is cheap and got better sound compared average in this range of price. Rather than closing it further, I opened it up. Some isolation issues most likely occurred. So this is how I mod mine, step by step   1. Peel a layer of protecting foam   2...

  Yes it does. In the end, these pads will changing the driver position almost same as changing speaker position in a large room. Just go listen a large speaker, if you moving around the speaker, you'll notice some sound difference in each positioning. Comfort thing? Sure

  I checked my can and there's the scheme:   And this is for the jack (TRS) (I think both 3.5 and 1/4 is got sme scheme)   If you got mistaken right and left sound, just swap tip to ring cable in the TRS jack. The best method is using voltmeter.before soldering to getting it right...

Hmmm sorry for my poor response before. Actually you could reduce these sound leakage by closing two small holes in the main body (cups). Foam can be used too, but it would kill some clarity.   HD-201 is worse, in my opinion

Two week ago my modded RP-HTX7 (http://www.head-fi.org/t/638041/panasonic-rp-htx7-mod-to-the-max) got dead when I trying to clean the pads and checking it. A cable pulled off from driver then I got too lazy to fix it. (*sigh) So I decided to try get another decent ones, RP-HTF600 (Larger driver...

I've done some modding too, but rather make it more isolated, I made it into open headphone for indoor/studio use.   Mod that I've done:   - Recabling using Canare L-2T2S, default RP-HTX7 interconnector, and Canare F-12 Plug - "Advanced" sunnybear's mod - Custom  DIY Earpads -...

Quote:   I've tried hundreds of holes variation. Until I got very familiar with RP HTX7's air circulation and pressure inside these cups... Believe it or not, RP HTX 7 blessed with very good driver. Once everything got right, you'll about forget about how the default RP HTX7 sounded like....

Believe it or not, RP HTX 7 blessed with truly good driver.... With right recabling and advanced taping mods, it's better than 150$ ATH M50! http://www.head-fi.org/t/638041/rp-htx7-mod-to-the-max   (Unbelievably good at almost any music (TvT).....)   Just ask me if you need more...

Quote:   Actually that sound leakage is very normal phenomenon (in open headphone)....... In fact, I found that the bigger the leakage, the less fatigue it is....   Just use Closed headphone, earphone, or  IEM  for obviously less leakage. If that still not helping, just lower your...

Quote:   It's not a placebo anymore, it surpasses ATH M50 already!   The main idea of opening or closing these external holes is to get desired air pressure (also related with overall air volume in the cup). If it got right, you can got both deep bass and better staging I just...

ADVANCED CUPS MOD   The latest mod satisfied me for along time already...But somehow I just feel that there's something to do with "lack of bass" (see truflip's comment). So some hours ago I did another experiment to my RP HTX7 cups holes. And somehow found better configuration and another...

Oops, seems I've made double post here due something-error

With modded RP-HTX7 (http://www.head-fi.org/t/638041/panasonic-rp-htx7-mod-to-the-max) and default Lenovo G450 soundcard.....   That's my second try btw...

I have modded RP-HTX 7 (trough recabling using Canare L2T2S, Canare F-12 Jack, custom ear pads, and some other adjustment) Just for below 15$ you can make these cans sounded like 150$ ATH-M50. Once it get "tamed" it sounded awesome  ...
