    Nice pics, would you mind telling us a bit about how each of your mods altered the sound? Cheers

    You should definitely try modding the mk2. The mids are naturally very forward on that particular model with mods just adding your desired level of bass and treble. The end results are auperb especially when you factor in the total cost.

    Fostex new RP headphones - T50RPmk3, T40RPmk3 and T20RPmk3

    Inertianinja spoke about owning both these headphones a couple of pages back and might have something to say. From memory (which is fairly unreliable) I think the X2 was a little bit warmer with better bass extension but less detail retrieval at the top end. I think the mids may also have been...

    AKG K845BT First Impressions & Early Review (+ The Headphone Bar)

    Maybe I listen to these way too loud when out and about but I don't experience that problem I'm afraid. If the treble is beginning to irritate you it sounds like you already have them way up. Just looking at mine now with some pleather hm5 pads next to them they look like they would be a poor...

    Beyerdynamic T1/T5p Modifications and Tweaks Thread

    Thanks once again for your advice. The headphones are long out of warranty now and I think they would probably just tell me to send them for an expensive service or driver replacement although I guess I'll never know unless I try. Thanks for the video link, it is indeed very useful, a shame...

    Beyerdynamic T1/T5p Modifications and Tweaks Thread

    Thanks for the reply but I don't think I have explained myself properly. The vibration in my dt770 was not due to a dodgy connection or broken wire but a physical vibration which was caused by the plastic sleeve of the wire touching the back of the driver housing itself. Once the wires were...

    Beyerdynamic T1/T5p Modifications and Tweaks Thread

    Hi everyone, I know this is probably the wrong thread for advice on problems with the T1 v1 but as modders you all have a wealth of technical knowledge about the t1 which might make you able to help me out. Long story short I have a buzz coming from the right driver of my t1's only noticeable...

    UE 900 mods

    I had a bit of a poke at mine but even a needle wasn't thin enough to fit in the hole. I believe at the time someone recommended stripping a wire and using a single strand of copper but I never got around to it in the end. I have had some pretty positive results by varying sources and even...

    Hi, what makes you think it needs unblocking?

    Play something with good instrument separation and a reasonably wide soundstage and you'll appreciate the difference the velours make. I do agree though that the sound is still in need of modification to perfect it.

    They are a bit daunting at first but trust me, once you get the technique you'll have them on in minutes. First extend the earcup on which you are fitting the pad all the way down with the other as far up as it will go. Then fit the top section of the pad (without the seam) loosely over the top...

    Definitely, if you look at the changes they have made they're all found in the mk2 modification thread. Just a shame they didn't experiment with deeper pads as well in my opinion. I've fitted the hm5 velours and that has increased the width of the soundstage considerably but ultimately I would...

    Really wanted to crack on with the mods on these over Christmas but have got a lousy ear infection and everything sounds bad :angry:

    I use the Modi/Vali and that sounds pretty good. The fiio e18 also pumps out enough juice for on the go listening of anyone's thinking of taking these outdoors.
