    "Open Alpha" T50 3D printed headphone project from MrSpeakers

    So, I am super late to the party lol.. Anyways been out of the headphone game for some time after the wife and me had a child (cant really use headphones with small kids)... Anyways I have since moved onto other hobbies and 3d printing was one of them (have built 3 Voron's etc).. So I looked a...

    I use my 4XX's on an NFB11.28 and a Magni3/Mimby stack.. I will say that with the standard ZMF Ori lamskin pads I do prefer the 4XX's over my 6XX's on either set with most music.. With Jazz and Laid back music in general I go for the 6XX's

    I am leaning towards agreeing with you on the perf pads, although I will say the foam mod does seem to correct the bass. While the foam pad also increases the soundstage and the perf pads give a vary airy presentation I think the instrument separation is being effected by it in a negative way...

    Humm, swapped out the two ring foam setup for 1 foam ring in each pad.. I think this fixes the low mid bass issues without effecting anything else (besides a little less bass on the bottom end as well but this was a minimal change)

    I wouldnt call the lower mids diminished its more like they are bumped up a bit (along with the bass) its not bad or anything I just feel like that bottom half of the feq has a hump of sorts. I am still on the fence as to which pads I prefer as the perf pads plus foam mod gives a good amount of...

    not going to lie.... I feel like I cheated someone with these... After modding these headphones are way way better than they have a right to be at thier price point.

    So I received the perforated pads today I have to say, at first blush with the foam mod... I really like it. Over the grill + zmf non-perf pads it gives what seems to be a wider deeper sound-stage along with more bottom end... Not 100% sure about lower mids though, while they are not muddy they...

    My perf pads should be here today, will report back what I think tonight after I install then and then conpair then to the non-perf, non-foam moded pads...

    I wouldn't worry much about it tbh... The regular lamskin pads are the tried a true tested an measured solituon and they sound great. The perf ones are just being tested...

    Well I went ahead and ordered the perf pads... Will let you know what I think at least... Already have the foam ready to go :P

    Well while the per Hummm maybe we should Bill over at the other site (one that shall not be named) to try there perf pads on his set and measure them... I might spring for the perf pads to test myself we will see.

    No bass loss here. Although the upper frequency's (upper mids and treble) is improved.

    Went out to Hobby Lobby and was able to find the exact foam you were using. Was pretty easy to work with and I was able to make my cutouts without much trouble... Unfortunately I did not like what it did to the sound signature.. Seems to bump the bass up for sure but is also does something to...

    Took some time to clean up the magnets and painted my grills a glossy black.. Just need to pick up some foam at hobby lobby today.. Will report what I think when I get it.

    Am I the only one who has no clue what you are talking about? Not trying to be rude but it seems you are talking about some cable or something but forgot to post the link or picture..

    Walnut.. With the whole color scheme along with the headband I like to think of them as my steam punk headphones lol

    Grado modders go Magnum

    My Pad preferences for the V7’s   Obviously, preferences would change with different drivers... but with the latest Magnum’s these are my personal preferences after testing all the pads side by side   Grado Flats vs Sen 414s The 414 pads are much much more comfortable no real noticeable...

    Grado modders go Magnum

    I also picked up some official Grado G-Cush pads.. These were more different than the Ear Zonk’s than that I had originally thought they would be.   The acoustic foam used is pretty different. The Grado’s are a much softer foam with a resin is used to harden both the front and back. While the...

    Grado modders go Magnum

    I personally think you would want a solid fit.. Granted, one that can still be removed.. The benefits from the wood, if there are any, doesn't come from the driver rattling in the enclosure..

    Grado modders go Magnum

Then the EarZonk G-CUSH and leatherette... lastly I will also be getting and testing with the Sen 414 pads...  Will post my observations if anyone is...
