Another approach is to copy or adapt the Audeze LCD3 damping scheme; discussed earlier in the thread. Especially recommended if you're using stock pads.

Just figured out how to best wear these headphones, lol ... Well, first put them on your head then press the drivers in so that the pads squish towards your head. Release. Enjoy! Because the pads are so large, it's tough to get a good acoustic chamber without first pressing the pads in.

@MrTie84 any overall sound impressions? What stands out for you? Also have you, or anyone tried the Hifiman Focus pads?

Part of the reason for using fabric against the driver is that there is less risk of it breaking down and falling onto the diaphragm which would really wreck havoc on the sound. Is there another kind of material you can try? Any kind of paper is probably not the best to use against the driver...

I had no idea. That they did it that way is interesting and makes it worth exploring. The M1060 has a very similar driver structure.

I happened to have some lying around. A good fabric shop should have something similar for single digit dollars.

I’ve been following the conversations on how to mod the M1060s with interest because I’ve had them in constant comparison mode with the Hifiman HE-500s since I got them. From the get go I’d been hoping they would quickly dethrone the HE-500s as my daily go-to headphone. Ah yeah, it didn’t happen...

Did a very similar mod as the one pictured below but instead I used Foam Ear Plugs (NRR=29) cut in half. I found that the 6 pieces on each driver were overdamping my HE-500. The bass got more diffuse and the sound signature relatively slower. Went down to four symmetrical pieces for each driver...

Did a quick search of the thread and didn't see this listed: Remy Shand - The Way I Feel. An incredibly cohesive album, solid throughout, and simply put - good music.  

^ That looks pretty darn good!

Cool ..! What are you planning to drive them with?

  \ Just have a note to add to this. This is pretty much what I found out about my Pioneer SA9500II. When I separated the amp section from the preamp I had not idea just what an incredible amp stage it was. The preamp was actually the main drawback even though together I still considered it a...

In Foobar ..? It's been a while since I played around with encoding-decoding strings.

It would have been a better program if it was able to compare native file formats. Reencoding an Mp3 back into wave could introduce some other artifacts into the equation, essentially skewing the results, but it's definitely worth checking out.
