Got these back from being serviced under warranty.  Just noticed after someone in-game commenting that my mic had some low hum line noise on it. Wanting to circumvent waiting for through a 3 month turnaround for servicing them, again, I popped open the ear with microphone mounted and took a...

What do I recommend to friends considering Dr Dre Beats Pro? One alternative I've seen given after a bit of searching here is the Denon AH-D2000 for better overall accuracy including more extended bass. What other models should be considered? I have a Beyerdynamic MMX300, which I think is...

Has anyone noticed highs are a bit more articulate on the left side after the mod?  Right side seems more boomy, by nature, after the mod and I find myself continually adding more filler on that side.  Might this be due to the difference in the new chambers designed after opening them up?

Ok, thus far I've put 5 holes on each side and some cotton after they sounded a bit boomy/muddy.  I think I may take some of the cotton back out...or should I drill more holes? These are going back in the closet once I get my repaired MMX300 back, but until then it's fun modding them for...

IT IS TIME.     My MMX300 must be sent in for warranty repair.  My Senn PC350 just doesn't sound as good.  Maybe they could use a little....BASS MODDING.

Someone get this guy the Ultimate Ears super.fi 5 Pro!   Alas, I've gone through a few of those as though they sound great, their build barely lasted beyond a year.  Even with RMA'd warranties, at around $200 a pop, they're an expensive habit.   Add to that they're harder to find since...

I'd rather not need an additional amp.  RE0 don't necessarily need an amp, but benefit from one while RE-ZERO has a low impedance (16ohm) comparable to my broken UE super.fi 5 pro (dual balanced armature).  I'd buy another of UEsf5p if I didn't expect them to break in less than a year, I'm a bit...

Thanks for the tips. Money shortage means I'll probably go with the Head-Direct, for now since it's only $79. Definitely interested in the Westone 2. Warranty aside, I want something with actual build quality. I was pretty impressed with the Westone cable I got for the UEs. Too bad the UEs...

Just noticed there are many reviews on Amazon by customers with similar experiences. :/

I've purchased the Ultimate Ears super.fi Pro IEMs twice, now. Each time I had to RMA them and get a warranty replacement. The first purchase had a 2 year warranty, I believe. Now they carry a 1 year warranty. I love their sound, when they work, but what gives on the short life span? It...

The Y yoke on each side is common if you look at Beyerdynamic's high end product line. No comment from me on its durability since the MMX is the first Beyer headphone I've owned. Whenever I removed them I often grip them by the cups to pull them off my head. The knotched/geared boom mic...

Nice! If you do any gaming online, my ID on Steam and other games is 'slaithe'.

Schweet! Thread saved!

Very interesting! I don't want to pull apart mine until they're out of warranty. Are the 3 holes you drilled at the top of the cup? After your mod, how does the sound dampening compare to before? Did they come apart easily, or are there clips, etc. to worry about snapping/breaking?

I've sampled both headsets from both sound cards. There's a definite pitch difference in each headset's mic, but more noticeable while on the Xonar D2X mic line. In any case, it more likely than not will be of little consequence in gaming and voip applications. You can use WavePad to open...
