Glad I stumbled across this thread. I went to a meet recently where there was both the O2, K1000 and Jade. They all sounded exceptional but I was the only person who thought the Jade was the best of the lot (by a fair bit too). With everybody talking about how great the K1000 and O2 were, I...

I just want to know what the HF2 was re-cabled with... but I'm sure I'm not the only one ;p

I'm not sure if it's too late already but decayed.cell and I may also like to attend this. I can bring my DV337 and DX1000 while he could probably provide his M3 and HD580. Not much, but I suppose it'll be of interest to some.

Gold...? There's no way they look gold. They struck me as SR325is the moment I saw them. On the gold SR325i the lettering on the 'L', 'R' and cup text is also gold, this is clearly silver. The rods do look different though. Quote: Originally Posted by SemiAudiophile these...

My AKG K240DF in the FS forum! ;D

Alright guys, I just bought a pair off eBay with no packaging.... except everything is exactly the same as the real pair shown in this thread, opened them up to check. The adjustments move up and down with the bumpy grooves.. they don't slide. Did I get lucky? Spent $17AUD on them.

Great to see others giving it a go, I'll go through the process with you. Take pics as you go too since I didn't... );

Are all Beyerdynamic headbands (the whole plastic piece + cushioning pad) the same size? I prefer the look of the black pro headbands and I was wondering if I could put it onto a DT880 2003.

They have different tech specs and the 109 also comes in 400ohm...

The DT 109 looks like a DT 150 with a microphone attached to it, does anybody know the difference between the headphones part of them? There's also a DT 190 which has the same headband as the DT 150, quite confused.

Can anybody confirm if this is the whole plastic headband for the Sony model? If so, that's all you should need for the mod... Sadly, I have a bad feeling you need some of the other parts too.

I've found out that it's the exact same headband found on the SONY MDR V500DJ headphones. If somebody wants to give this mod a go, I'll put up some instructions.

I use the Grado comfy pads even though I know the bowls sound better. The comfys do bring out more of the lower end though. I also changed the headband to a self-adjusting set, but it's not a mod everybody can do unfortunately.

Nope, not Ultrasones. I wouldn't dare strip a pair apart for the headband... The main thread is here.

New pics added...

I should mention that the 'i' version is required for this mod, the mushroom shape holds the cup in place.

I was messing around with one of my brothers spare headsets, an el cheapo Power Wave thing. Horrible headphones, but they have a half decent self adjusting headband. After taking the thing apart I found that the Grado SR80i housing could be fit into the headband seamlessly. No mods to the Grado...

Alright before I go off to work I'm going to have one last and most likely futile attempt to convince Kingwa to change the design... BRING ON THE FLAMES PEOPLE! ;p Enjoy!

If the locking mechanism is removed (I've seen this done before, along with the plate being on the other side), do the jacks still plug in correctly? What I mean is; do they still plug in and out with the same amount of resistance other plugs typically have? BTW It's not that it's...

I've already emailed Kingwa, he wanted to get Currawongs opinion on the matter first. I also suggested keeping the Neutrik plug but changing it to the all black version, unfortunately he doesn't have access to these.

Alright, first of all I know I'm 2-3 weeks late. I haven't read the whole thread so I've missed plenty but I've been informed about the progress of the project by a friend of mine. Getting down to the crunch, I'm going to post an alternative aesthetic appearance. I'm aware this has been...
