Expose of Ibasso SR1 driver

There's hiden factors on driver. 1st version, 3D print has 2 cloth layers and 2 nylon (or mylar) layers each driver. 2nd version, molding has 4 layers of cloth and 2 layers of nylon (or mylar). Close air vent on 2nd version will muffle the sound, less detail, response less transience I feel...

I hate to remove the pad every time. Why did not design other way with ease for removing.

Fiber pad sound thin to me and time after time it sound more thin and lite due to worn out. My stock pad was replaced when it released material as black dust each touching by hand or gently wipe by soft brush. I had not used fiber pad again. Leather sound bolder bass and mid, more density of...

A set of spare parts which are so cheap at $15!! Full surface are lamb skin. Not like my prev set cost 5 times but not fully lamb skin (lamb skin and faux leather. Life span determine by faux leather bcs real leather last so long)

I finally chose option A because of easier. Simply stick by glue. The highs are fine grain, britle/crips, tenderly touch eardrum, none piercing attack even higher volume. Nothing to mention on lows. No change (I've though it loose and slow kick in, long decay but may be I was wrong). Clarity of...

Geekria lamb skin pads. It's not all lamb skin (for area that not contact to listener's face) but so cheap and good sonic perfomance

Just about apperance

Not yet fix it onn reason is the bass need more time to check. Now at least metal mesh it's ok apperance to me. Detail of highs make I drop my tear for woman singer vocal. Listening w/o cover, I can detect objects like a hand near back of headphone, it cause resonance. Depend on shape of palm...

IMO, fine grain mesh in front of diaphragm (fine cover) will raises the pressure (or vaccuming it depeding polarity of signal) if its venting not enough. Like you shut a sealed-room door, there's a resistance from the raising room air pressure, near the end of stroke (that time, door close to be...

The thing on my avatar is heavily modify of ibasso SR1. There's only a thing not be touched is the diaphragm and its silicon ring. It sounds as like my hd800s by the mod. If have same comfort and feeling as wearing 800sn I will play with it more than I wear 800s. THE DUST COVER OF IT, IDENTICAL...

No. Holes are all everywhere. I dont feel lack of bass, w/o EQ. I use lamb skin pad. The best still be no-cover

Yeah yeah Dust cover removed! I exactly did not remove it but punch tone of holes by using welder tip. I want to have more interactive of sound with metal mesh so I remove at first for a listening session. Then I choice to punched, not to remove.

Geekria has lamb skin pad toon and it sounds good. Im using a pair

About details of hd800s. Compare to my Kaldas RR1 e.stat hp plugged to Stax 007Tii, 800s driven by hdvd800 sounds less real/true detail. It is kind of treble effective than real detail, organic vocal. Not to be artificial but less real in comparision. I like 800s bass than that of RR1 because of...

I have never ever sold any stuff. My must have item is hd800s and shure1500/1200.

Your SR2 still alive? Mine SR1! New headphones model!

Never think of ss for sound! My ip6 still using for music. It kick all ss phones into water. I do trust in audio out from 3.5 on ip6. Even using a BT inear, Technics AZ70 I can point out ip6 and a ss one

This app call Sonarworks. I am not too happy bcs of lacking tidal, qobuz... only local and Spotify Ultimate sound: specific frq curve for common hd800s (ofcouse if want exact your 800s, make a order to Sonarwork). Preference Setting: your style of tonal you like. After you A/B listen 4 music...

There is some app (I have not try)

Can share personally

From specs and picture, I believe SR1/2 share 100% the same drivers, pad. (Except the very first day SR1 has only non-perforated pad version, then perforated pad has launched later for it). .. The difference is what not relate to the sound: headband assy, earcup frame. SR2 called "Open"...

UAPP may be meet your need

"Made in Germany" wrote on the headband of mine. At the time I order, HD650 made in Ireland and HD800/s made in Germany, only.
