    1MORE H1707 Triple-Driver Over Ear

    Good isolation, no complaints. Keep in mind the Beats pads are not as roomy as HM5 pads. But they are a huge improvement over the stock pads. I even found out they are even compatible with the stock H1707 case! You just have to carefully tuck the Beats pads so they fit in the molded space where...

    It depends on how compact you want them. The Beats pads are still compact enough to wear around the city without looking like a fool. They are also still compatible with the stock carry case. The HM5 pads are full size pads, so you will get ‘huge headphone eye rolls‘ in public due to them not...

    I settled on the Beats pads and never looked back. The 2 best mods possible on this headphone is the foam mod and the Beats pads.

    Hmmm, the bass isn’t boomy on my Beats-modded set. On mine, the Beats pads sound nearly identical to the stock pads, as they have the same internal pad volume. Perhaps what’s happening is that due to the better fitting Beats pads (fitting your whole ear inside), you are getting a tighter seal...

    I am not sure about that. I have never removed and restuck the Beats pads. I would say no, since they use double sided tape that is designed for 1 time use. I have seen the adhesive pieces available separately though. So if you remove them and the tape does not restick, you could just put new...

    ...trim the inside molding out, you can even preserve it so that it can be laid back (or glued back) into the stock case (in case you ever sell the headphone, for example): Of course no case mods are required for the Beats pads mod. The stock case is (barely) compatible as-is with the Beats pads.

    Make sure you remove the layer of thick foam on the back of the replacement Beats pad. Some of them peel off cleanly in a full sheet. Others have have to be gently ripped off. It depends on the actual 3rd party construction of the Beats pad. There will still be a fabric layer remaining, which...

    I found that the best pad is the Beats pad. It best preserves the stock sound. Other pads do work though, so feel free to experiment, as there could be something even better. Beats Studio 2.0 pads: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/1more-h1707-triple-driver-over-ear.849824/page-27#post-14271670

    Looks great friend! That ivory pad is HOT! Did you do anything with the foam covering the ceramic driver, or leave it stock? Also, just curious...did you peel off the foam layer from the back side (center) of the Beats pad’s fabric center section, or leave the foam layer on? I was thinking...

    Hmmm, Tyll mentioned in his review that he could not figure out how to remove the ear pads. So I’m not sure what images you saw. Either way, it will be OK. Many H1707 owners have done the Beats pad mod, and all with great success.

    I know this thread is for the triple drivers, but I just wanted to share that I picked up a 1MORE MK801 for $37 on Amazon ($49.99 - 25% coupon). That's cheaper than I've ever seen them. The build quality is typical 1More (ie high quality), and the sound is surprisingly good. They would be an...

In the end though, the Beats pads were the only ones that didn’t noticeably change the sound tuning. This is because it has the same volume as the stock pads, only smooshed into an...
