vintage Pioneer SE-205 stereo headphones
I have been using a pair of Pioneer SE-205 headphones myself for about a month now, and I think personally feel that the sound produced is of a very good quality to my untrained ears. The bass is really stable and tight and not at all boomy like my pair of JVC-HARX700 is. The build has a very...- Kenneth irl

Quote: That's a calculated decision, no doubt. They doesn't want them to be too good for the low price. xD Quote: I don't know about the sound changes, but the extra soft materiale is really needed for the added comfort, at least.- Kenneth irl

Black edition. I like this one the most thus far. Looks almost retail, I think. :) From the insides. Some red materiale stuck and left behind. You can also see the tape. I added a grid to hold the foam into place. :)- Kenneth irl

Sony TA-F550ES - noise coming from left channel
Hi, I have this lovely Sony TA-F550ES amp that I want to use for watching movies on my big screen with a headset. The problem is that while the right channel is crystal clear from noise, the left channel has a moderate noise sound coming from the amp. I have tried another headset with the...- Kenneth irl

Quote: Ah, that sounds interesting, indeed. :) Nope, I just use my notebook or my sansa clip. But I think it's just because I have the sound turned up a bit higher than before to compensate for the decrease in effectiveness, volume wise. I don't think the driver moves much differently...- Kenneth irl

Quote: Nope, there's still more than enough bass for me. I still have to turn the bass down when listening to bass heavy music. I originally thought that it would kill a lot of the bass, but I'd hardly noticed any change to it which is a little strange, I suppose. I'm sure there's a...- Kenneth irl

Quote: I'm no sound technician, but I'd say so. Whether or not I'm a victim for my own imagination, I can't say - but technically it should change the sound quite a bit as there's no semi confined chamber that produces resonance and sound feedback. I think they sound very good, anyways...- Kenneth irl

Got around to make them a little prettier. I spray painted some white foam and put it in there + I repaired the silver paint. The silver isn't shiny as of yet, but I'll probably make it so. It doesn't block much sound, if any, naturally. Anyone like it? And have anyone else tried...- Kenneth irl

Quote: I've found a good solution to this problem now - double sticky tape. Just a few pieces all around the inner rim and then cut off any visible tape afterward from the outside - so that you cannot see the tape. I can still open them if I want to. :) Also, you might want to do...- Kenneth irl

I think that is a good choice, Gino. :) Yes, the standard felt is way over done, imo. I wonder why? Maybe they thought it would make them sound more bassy as the felt dampens the treble(awfull desgin, imo). You probably don't have to remove the last of it, though. It's very hard to get...- Kenneth irl

Quote: Hi, what you mean by 'stand alone 3D' ? :) Anyways, I usually use my Sansa clip or laptop. I also have a Sony 550ES amplifer, but since these at about 40% volume is more than enough juice for me, I don't use it much. Would a 'real' amp produce better sound or just more...- Kenneth irl

Okay so my initial impression of this mod is that it sounds good. :) I love the 'open' sound they produce now. Also, I still have to turn down the bass frequencies, or it's very boomy, not thight. I've mostly only listened to classical music so far with them, so I don't know how they sound in...- Kenneth irl

I've complete my 'open' mod. :D I need to listen to them for a while before commentating on the sound, tho. :) Edit: As you can see, I need to repaint the outer ring with silver (or maybe a new colour? :)) as I damaged the paint during this mod. I'm also thinking about changing...- Kenneth irl

Hi, I just wanted to show with some pictures of what I have done to my set of 700s, so far. Take a look. :) I've inserted some extra foam into the pads and sowed them together using the standard nylon layer, which I then cut off afterward (the extra padding cannot fall...- Kenneth irl
