I called up Sennheiser USA and ordered my grills about a week or so ago and I've just gotten an email saying that they have shipped. When I first called and ordered, they said both the grills and the cables were backordered. From the email, I'm assuming that it means they had them in stock just...

Don't use the TBAAM drivers. Just use the default Windows USB Audio driver. When you plug it in, Windows should automatically recognize it as a USB soundcard.

Geez! What a steal. Congrats! I've got the 600 grills and the 650 cables coming soon. Anyone know to replace the grill and the cables? I tried tugging on the cables and they wouldn't budge.

Well I found some extra foam lying around, a thin needle, and some black string. I opened up the cushions and stuffed some of the extra foam beneath the old foam and then stitched it back up. Much better now! Although, now that the drivers are further away from my ears, they sound less forward...

Okay, C-stock? Well, if it's going to be that expensive, I might as well try to stuff some extra foam into the pads and then stitch them back up. Not much to lose, right?

I bought a B-stock HD580 for cheap from eBay. The ear cushions are almost completely flat and slightly ripped. It is very uncomfortable because the top of my ears are touching the driver covering. Sennheiser is charging 45 shipped for replacement pads. I think that's just way too much for some...

This seller is either very generous or he made a mistake, because I just received the HS460's in the mail today. For clip-ons, they surely don't really clip on well at all. The sound is surprising very good! They are definitely very detailed. If anyone else happens to receive their pair, please...

Since the A130's barely isolate, I just said 'ta hell with it!' and popped a bunch of holes into the backs. Okay. Here it is: Open A130's: The difference is very noticeable, although not night and day. It still retains the same sound signature. More airy definitely. However, it...

Quick suggestion for A130 owners who find the highs a little too painful: Open up the headphones and stuff a few sheets of toilet paper behind the driver. The more you add, the more it tames and soaks up the treble. I added 3 sheets of the finest and softest multi-layer Charms TP. It's MUCH...

Glad you are really enjoying your A250s! I wish I could say the same about my A130. They have been collecting dust on the floor as I have gone back to my KSC35 and KSC75. The bass is just a little too recessed for me and the mids aren't as forward and "in your face" as I would like (coming from...

Kramer, have you opened up your a/250's? If so, do their drivers look similar (or exactly) like the a/130s?

Internals of an A/130 to compare with the Optimus. (NOT a KSC75 driver).

I used about the same amount of tak and I thought that even though the highs were tamed a bit and the lows were more present, the "airyness" was noticibly muffled. Do you notice that as well?

Dave, how thick of a layer is your blu-tak? Also, are you using real Blu-Tak or just some generic brand of poster tak?

Update: I took the tak out (i added too much and the soundstage suffered a bit) and let it burn in for another 18 hours (total of 50+ now). My goodness, they sound completely different! The highs are back but they are just right! The bass is very quick and reasonably precise. Even last night, I...

Has anyone else tried the tak-mod on the A130s? Let me know what you guys think of it!

It's quite simple really. Separate the drivers from the headband. After gently pulling off the pads, you should see 4 screws. Just simply unscrew them and separate the driver and the enclosure. Then apply tak. I like to apply small thin pieces in a circular pattern until it is covered. Then I...

Some pics of the operation!

This is for the A130s. I will post pics later when I go back in to put more in! I think just a mm more of tak should be perfect!

Just opened up the housing and slapped a layer of "Tac N Stik" in the there. Midbass has definitely increased a bit and the peaky highs have been attenuated . You should try it out, Dave. I think you'd be pretty happy with the sound.

Anyone think it's worth taking these apart and slapping on some Blu-Tak?

I got my A130s! I had a listen to them with my Headsave Transit (META42) from the LINE-OUT of my Philips Aurilium and they sounded TERRIBLE!!! The bass and the mids were very thin. I switched over to the HEADPHONE-OUT w/o the amp and they sounded much better. Could it be just a bad combination...

My A130's are coming today! I'll proceed to burn it in with some loud bassy electronica and rock!
