I purchased some sheepskin earpad list on auction site Ruten in Taiwan. So far so good. The original cable not only bulky but also bring negative effects to the sound of the headphones. HD700 need no silver , 22awg pure copper bring out the best if it.

After 8 years of daily usage, I still love hd700. 3 set of headbands and earpads. It is still a amazing headphone. Although it is a pain in the beginning because of the crappy SPC cable and the need of long run in time. I believe it is the real reason why it was less appreciated at the time of...

Love my er4sr except walking with it, the cable noice and microphonic is super annoying, is EVo my solution?

totally agree, the stock SPC cable is the main reason it sounds terrible. a well run in Mogami cable fix almost everything bad of HD700 sound. a perfect match with StxII or ROG mother board for music and game. Since HD700 already discontinued, I am worrying what headphone should I get once mine...

I made a cable out of Mogami 2534 and some decent connectors using kester lead solder, shorter and sound more nuetral than stock , stock sound darker with recessed mid to me. Mogami 2534 and 2893 really improved the overall neutrality of all 3 sennheiser I tried (Hd600, hd700, ie8)

New HD700 owner here. After my HD600 break down on me, I got HD700 as my next. Initially, the phone sound horrible. Muffled low and sharp top. It is getting better day by day as I feed it with various type of music every day for 3 hours each day for the last 3 weeks. Hopfully it will get even...

It really depend on what equipment (Amp and/or DAC-Amp). the other suggeswtion is to get several cable each with different plug consider the cable on HD650 is detachable, I have HD600 and I made cables of my own using both 6.3mm and 3.5mm. I didn't make XLR because I don't have equipment using...

I am amping my SXC HD600 with Burson HA-160, quite like it even just right out of the box

As you wish, here is the 2 cable I made for my HD600, the thick one is ALO SXC 22 AWG and the thin one is Cryo-Parts SCSCag solid core 26 AWG silver wire. nake wire braided with Cardas plug

it is the TWcu 24 AWG from Cryo-Parts. it is rather flexible but slightly hard to wirk with because the insulation tube shrink a lot when heat apply to the wire.

I first measure 4 equal length wire, solder then onto the 3.5mm plug. then I thread the wires through the sleeve. heat shrink was used to fix the sleeve to the wire before puting the cover of the plug onto it. another layer of heat shrink to the external of the plug. on the other end, the four...

Recabled Denon D2000, using Neutrick 3.5mm with Cryo-Parts TWcu 24AWG, the sleeve is shoe lace from local store .    

microSD ? that is a big going back, microSD is pricier and yet less capacity, what I love about D2+ is it use standard SDHC which give bigger storage option cheaper compared to like Sansa, this thing doesn't look like it get much smaller size yet still using  microSD, is the radioation dust from...

I bought some SCSCag and TWcu from Cryo-Parts, made the silver last night, nto sure if I like it, it sound  soo bright not sure if burn-in will help. it may suit the slightly darker sound HD650. IMO, it seem like Alo SXC has better ballance for now, I will post picture of the cable later, and...

Quote: I live in Taipei. I saw Cardas in Music HiFi store fore 3200NTD and it is too long for my application. that is why I use up my remaining ALO SXC brought back from USA to made this cable. the total cost of the cable is about the same price as retail Cardas I saw. I have 5 pair of...

Here is my HD600 with DIY ALO SXC, SXC give the low better definition, clearer mid and stronger high. still sound smooth and ballance is a bit powerful way

Interesting, I think UM3X is good but cymbal-like sound is a little bit far. should I add extra driver and which one ? 

does anyone remold their Westone IEm paerticularly UM3X ? How dies it feels ?  shell of my UM3x is splitting and thinking about making it a custom

I give up on silicon UM56 for fitting and hard to insert. Olive and Shure silicon is best for me. I am gonna use my UM3X until they die. it is so good that my next will be UM5X if they decide to make one. I am too raugh for custom and can't use custom to convince other to spend money in IEM.

Quote:   you should try Shure Olive, I only use comply unless I am on plane trip that I need absolute quiet.  

Clip+'s FR match well with UM3X to compensate its weaker high. flat response often sound like the bass is reduced which is a way to compensate bass heavy down stream

looks like the green filter just attanuate the mid and high even more. not sure if i will be happy with that.

agree, just get the replacement or use Shure Olive if you want foam

try Westone line of product. My UM3x took a lot of abuse still running good

Sound wise, I like it better for my SRH840 and UM3X. although mine has a few issue with my laptop. it sound really nice for my untrained ear. it is very powerful and you need a volume control or amp for it, else the hiss and crazily loud volume will kill your ear if plug your earphone straight...
