Hey peeps, I have been gone for quite a bit, but I found the audio passion again. Now with in-ear monitors! Here's some pics I took of the Myer-Audio CK-D41, and a Gladiator Rubino Harmony cable:

26 is a velour pad with a lot more cushy filling, thus making the pad cushion rim have more area, which means the pad has a smaller hole in the middle for your ear. This is a problem for some people who have very large ears, but I can't speak for them, if it's actually uncomfortable or just a...

Hi,   Yes, all 350, 360 and 555/558/595/598 pads are compatible.

This is awesome to know, thank you!

I just found out from a few sources that Sennheiser doesn't sell replacement parts for their gaming range of products. So while their Part Finder doesn't list pads or headband padding for the PC 350, you could ask them or a retailer about which model's headband padding fits the PC 350. Here is...

As with all Sennheiser headphones/headsets, you'll be able to order replacement parts for your products. The pleather pads for the PC 350 shouldn't be too costly, I'm thinking twenty bucks or so. Do you know if any of your local audio stores sell Sennheiser products? You can ask them to order...

I feel sorry for you, because to me, it looks like bad luck. Me and my friend both got the PC 350 early on, I got them right at release, he got his a year later or so. We've driven our headsets with all kinds of amps, they see daily use, heavy use, all kinds of too-high-driven use with monstrous...

Ah okay, got it. I'm not sure if we can actually test this. I mean, I've got all those pieces of music you mentioned, in FLAC, and I don't hear anything out of the question. But if you really do hear such sounds, maybe that is just you, or maybe it is the hardware. Plus, I don't exactly know the...

@Yatsuman   Hey man, a slight static eh? A good way to troubleshoot it would be to first try changing your volume levels.   Are you using the EQ on foobar? If you are, then have you zeroed it? Meaning, having it only lower the levels on some frequency ranges and having the highest frequency...

Sounds good, you will definitely get good mic sound from all those, it doesn't take much since the mic in the PC350 is so good. A headphone amp isn't a necessity for the PC350, but with the mod, they do improve a lot with a good desktop amp. Maybe hold off on buying an amp until you've had a...

Hi Yatsu, thanks for the video and glad you're enjoying this mod, I sure still am, after all these years.   The PC350 uses the HD595 drivers, so giving it some power will definitely get you better sound. Unfortunately your Z5500 is very lacking in the headphone amp area, like most bigger...

there is a replacement part for the headband, but if it's just the pleather that's worn and the foam beneath is okay, you can strip the pleather off and the foam itself works as a nice headband, I've had mine like that for a while now since my headband pleather got ripped.

Quote: That is a bit crazy yes :D But good to hear that the problem fixed itself! Too bad we didn't really learn anything from this :P

Quote: Did you use a hot poker of sorts to do the mod, or a drill? I mean, could something like a bit of scrap from drilling have gone into the driver enclosure through the holes, and it's now rattling there, or could you have poked too deep, too close to the driver's glued rim, to cause a...

Quote: I'm not sure, but perhaps it's possible that some damage has occured over time. I say this because my HD 650 are exhibiting the exact same "tiny window rattle"-effect in their right-ear side, I think they've had too much bass, too often, and they're just damaged. But they're also...

Quote: Oh, hehheh, well then ... I guess you could try to stretch them, by putting them on something a centimeter or two bigger of diameter than your head, and leaving them on that thing for long periods of time between uses. Oh and if you're going to try that, I recommend switching back...

Quote: You just need to get used to the clamping, most of Sennheiser's full-size 'phones have such a hugging effect, they're built that way, on the PC 350 it's to improve isolation a bit and make the headset stay on your head in those action-packed gaming moments. Just put on some nice...

Quoting from the modding thread:     Ahh so that's what the 5x2mm slit was for, didn't notice that "lock" thing that goes in it. I just took mine apart again and pulled off the hinge, then put it back on and closed the cup, quite easy. So Mkilbride, your hinge must have come loose then...

Interesting, I just opened mine up to see what the hinge looks like from the inside, and there's just a 5x2mm slit there in the cup encasing, from which I can barely see the hinge moving. Well maybe it would look more obvious if I would take the hinge apart, but I think badpod here can answer...

Could you take another picture more like the second one, that would show the hinge side better? Your second pic is too blurry to see what the hinge looks like. I looked at mine by turning the hinge as open as it goes and shone a flashlight there, and mine seems to have an all-metal hinge...

Quote: Ah so it's that "connector", the hinges on the cans, I have never detached those, and so I don't know if that can be simply snapped back in there or if it's broken in some way, sorry :\

Quote:   You can pretty easily experiment with the hole sizes and amounts, for me it started to work after I made a bunch of bigger holes, and from there I worked with the amount of cotton and got the HD 595 pads and found a perfect balance. You can make your holes bigger and just get...

Here you go, hope it helps, sorry for poor focus, bad English and groggy speech, I'm very tired :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7QXuXn1lJg   EDIT. Oh and the part where I talk about not having to remove one of the screws, I was going by foggy memory, I'm not 100% sure. So when...
