Friends, I love my HD1 headphones and use them more than any other. However, the band is very poorly designed and makes for a decent but not perfect fit. If you think you can just "pop or twist off" the ear cups please read on as there are 2 small screws, with lots of thread lock, holding the...

This is an old thread but still good info; thanks! I e-mailed the seller to see if they offer a 3.5mm right angle plug option.

Friends,   I just received a set of Sennheiser Momentum on-ear headphones.  Is it possible to move the headphone speakers/ear cups up to the second slot on the adjustment band?  It looks like they can just pop off but I don't want to break anything and the net doesn't reveal much about...

I have been a member here for a while but have not posted much.  However, I must say that the GM headphones are simply top notch.  I appreciate this thread in helping me discover the GM brand and specifically the 8.35D.     I've been a DJ, an audiophile (after all, we use music to listen to...

  I'm interested in hearing responses to this as well.

Friends,   I'd like to replace my ATH-ANC7b with a lightweight highly accurate  alternative.... any suggestions?   Thanks!   Jp

Nice job!

I did just that; I ordered a pair of the GMP 8.35 D Monitor (mobile) headphones with a right angle plug.  The conversion came out to about $219.00 shipped.  Now, the wait begins!

Quote:   I'd avoid replacing the factory wires if possible.  Having to add new wire turned this job from less than an hour into half a day (I only recently learned to solder effectively.).    I did not notice a sonic difference between the factory wire and the heavier wire that I used to...

Almost forgot, I did not want to cut the driver housing, so I cut the plug instead to make everything fit:     Further, if you plan on using thread locker, be sure you're done soldering.  I had a tough time resoldering the plug because I could not remove it without breaking something due to...

OK, did the MOD successfully!         Sadly, I had the whole project done and finished but went back to add thread locker and then lost a connection on the reassembly – whoa, what a pain!     Some lessons learned:       - Practice on cheap wire - Tin the wires - Tape or secure...

By the way, any suggestion on temperature?  My new toys... ahem, equipment... should be here in the next couple of hours. :)

Thanks!  I appreciate the help in making a good choice.  I've put off buying a soldering station for years so I'm pretty excited for it to get here.

Here is an amp I used for several years.  No frills but It does precisely what it's supposed to, providing neutral amplified sound.   http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/HeadAmp4
