There could be a channel imbalance due to the cable entering the cup causing an air leak. A bit of silicon to seal it might help.
I have just changed from the stock pads to brainwavez hybrid pads and I'm glad to say I did , sub bass is more prominent and yes the highs have a very very very slight more sibilance but not enough of a change for me to sweat, I even changed back to stock to see the difference on the highs and I actually believe it's already there and it's not do with the distance of the pad but more to do with a better seal with better pads so I think I just noticed it more or was possibly looking for it? Anyway im pretty pleased with the outcome, im going to buy some hifiman he400i in a few weeks, im worried that the extra cost compared to the fostex t50rp is not worth my outlay, I like the fostex that much.
Also just changed to the Brainwavz hybrids a couple of days ago. Actually my husband put them on for me but it took ages and I heard much swearing from the other room. If you took them off to check the stock and put them back on again you must have some secret as to how to painlessly put them on. There is so much extra material to stuff into the opening and when you get one bit on another bit slips off. Is there a tool to use other than just fingers? Anyway, these will not be taken off again so I am very happy to see your post and impressions. You have satisfied my curiosity as to what the sound differences actually are. I was using them yesterday with my new tube amp so I did not know if any changes were because of that. I had of course used them with other amps. I am very happy anyway! New cable coming today...
My stupid cat (well, not stupid normally, but I think he earned this one....) chewed the little orange cable on the right side of my MK3s. I am more than a little upset... he took off a good 1.5 inches also, so I can't just solder it back together.
Any ideas on a good place to source appropriate wiring to fix this, or perhaps another way to reconnect my right driver?
Thanks for your ideas...
Save yourself the hassle,I just bought a replacement cable thats longer and in my opinion improved resolution slightly and also fitted nicely in the recess from V moda it was only 13 dollars, it looked a bit thin on opening but works and sounds like a charm.

I think he is talking about the exposed, non-detachable wire connecting the right cup to the signal coming in from the left.
