After a long hiatus from the headphone world, I just received my pair of D5000s :) Why haven't I gotten this earlier!? :-D  

:) I'm happy to see that some of the members are still using my template after 3 years! I have just updated the original post with updated download links and revised information.

Thanks for the heads up on the deal! I was going to get another pair of D1001 for winter, I guess I'll get these instead :-)

Those seem legit to me, anyhow did you try using the foam tips? I could not get a proper fit with any of the black silicon ones and the sound was very thin and boring. However, with the foam the sound is much improved but its a bit muffled and the bass is overwhelming. I settled with double...

What is the typical price for an ear impression for this custom molding??

pick up the triple.fi 10 from amazon's deal of the day for $99.99! Gold Box Deal of the Day--Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 Earphones

Awesome simple mod, just bought 2 of those mini headphones from partsexpress for under $7 shipped! http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=240-015 Update: just got these in, mod is as simple as it can get!! The headband is very light and does the job. clamping force is just enough...

I got my HD650 connectors from ebay... however, I don't know where you'll find the socket (jack) for the connectors.

I have just finished making the cable... took almost 4 hours!!! Here's a pic: Might take some close ups of the actual cable. Too bad I didn't have 3/8" red heatshrink for the R connector so its red/black. Anyhow, I made the cable using Mogami W2893 minquad with flexo PET sleeve and...

Thanks!

I just got the DIY connectors for HD650 by Cardas on ebay. I noticed that one side of the connector has an exposed side so that the wires can be soldered to them. However, there's no cap/covering to cover the exposed wires... should it be like this? They are exposed like the black one in...

Doubling the cost doesn't mean you'll have double the SQ. There's always a better one...

I currently have dual 627s for the DAC and LM4562 for the preamp, I just ordered some LME49860NA samples... Anyone tried these for the preamp??

Any plug that fits first gen iphones?

I was able to shove a pair of un-cliped ksc-75 earpieces into the 180s earmuffs. Now these will serve as my winter earphones . My D1001 were not portable enough although they do keep my ears warm. The mod literally took a min to complete and is 100% reversible. All you have to do is remove the...

I too have my D1001 modded. Dynamatted and recabled with Mogami. Excellent SQ upgrade from stock

Both of these are also available from Guitarcenter.com SLC3 White SLC4 White

I'm not sure about the ESW9, but I choose my recabled D1001 over my ES7...

If you're thinking about speakers, they are great. Very loud, crisp and clean. A lot better than most PC and the previous Macbook. It sounded even better than my friends 1 year old MB Pro. Headphone quality is good as usual. The best thing is that it keeps a separate sound/volume setting for...

I did this up-grade rebate thing with 2 pairs of CX-300 headphones that I purchased from newegg and the rebates arrived fairly quickly.
