Sennheiser HE60 / HEV70
I know it's 2017 but I just won an auction for a HE60/HEV70 combo last week. After having owned the HD600 and HD580 jubilee (goddamn why did I ever sell those?!) I am familiar with the formfactor of the HE60. I even think one can swap the headpiece and earpads? I am discovering a new level of...- arielext

AKG K340 modded and back!
I send out my K340 to Larry at Headphlie last month and got them back today!. He did his magic and added a 1.5m blackcopper cable on it. The blackcopper should be a tad warmer than the blacksilver cable, but I cannot judge that, maybe Larry can tell us about the details? Since I also own a...- arielext

cables and the HD580 / Hd6x0
I have experienced with both the HD580 and the HD600 that the sound cracks when using the cardas cable, if you pull the cable a bit the sound comes back. Both the Hd580 and the Hd600 were bought second/third handed. Is there anything to tweak or do? x-posted at the headphone section- arielext
