For those that gave up on MH750/755 because they found them too shouty: if you remove the vent sticker in the back of the driver, all the shout is gone.

It can actually be extremely pleasant if you remove the all vent stickers from the back of the driver, then use Comply foam tips in reverse. I've just started listening to them that way, and they're even more pleasant than stock Final E5000 and E3000.

So I bought one today. Mine has the 2 solder dots and off centered driver vent. Interestingly, when I took off the vent damping, there were 2 vents in there.

Which one would have more bass impact between DT770 Pro 250ohm and DT700 Pro X, when both have the same pads, foam discs and clamping force?

So I did some mods to these. My pair was pretty neutral on arrival with a distant midrange mild treble peak, certainly no boosted bass but rather linear until the upperbass dip. First I removed the plastic felt ring and the plastic tab on the driver magnet. Both are there just to restrict...

You can add a rubber band on the headband.

So I tried a 15mm diameter magnet on my open back CAL, with rear sticker removed, in the attracted position. It made it less sensitive and less smooth, it was even worse in the repelling position. It got me thinking, wouldn't a potmagnet be best for this? It shields the outer layer of the...

What would the sound difference between a small magnet (like on the pics of Slater) and an identically sized magnet? Both with the same strength and size hole in the middle.

Well if you've ever removed a grill from the front side of a speaker vs grill on, this would be a similar sound difference. Like I said previously, just measure it so you'll know objectively.

You're indicating here that the organza mesh is just a fairytale of it making a difference to the sound, but I'll suggest you try it on and measure it.

I'm astounished at how much the sound can change from any IEM (or headphone) just by different positions relative to your eardrum, seal excluded. The sound can go from grainy to near-HD650 level smoothness. The E series with their bullet design can be experimented from a lot of different...

I also had a Van Damme silver plated copper 25 gauge mini starquad cable, that one also sounded smoother than the Drausk. Mogami 2893 as well, but the 2893 had a clear bass deficiency

I have a cable from Hart Audio here, compared it against the Drausk V2 lite. The Hart Audio had a lot smoother uppermids and highs than the Drausk.

Do you also find that copper reduces treble quantity, but makes the treble quality harsher vs silver, which does the opposite?

The R70x has a 3khz edge that kills my enjoyment with them on less than stellar recorded tracks..

The Takstars have a different sound signature altogether than the JVC's. Plus their timbre is a lot different from what I've read - more revealing, less smoothed off. So it's a matter of preference, even if the Takstars are technically better, they may be too revealing for less than stellar...

Yeah I first started using micropore tape as the new baffle. Started out with 1 layer, but still found them too bass light. 2 layers afterwards was an improvement, but still too bass light. After that I put on the adhesive felt, while having 2 layers of mp tape on the diapghram baffle. This...

Out of those, I've had the Oppo PM3. I haven't heard the Takstar, but I have heard the CAL. Since you said you found the CAL veiled, you would absolutely despise the PM3. The CAL is bright compared to the PM3.

Yeah that's why I told him read measurements (all aspects) of a bass port mod vs stock. A bass port mod always gives a cleaner sound, due to less cup reverb and less pressure on the driver. But an ASR troll like him won't know or hear a difference, since their mentality is totally different...

I suggest reading measurements of a headphone with a bass port mod, if you want to know the difference. You'll never hear it though, since you're biased

And if one connector has the core metal made out of brass, and gold plating on top, would that sound the same as a connector made from copper with gold plating on top?

Has anyone found a sound difference using Furutech Rhodium connectors vs standard gold plated?

I'm sorry, but there won't be any audible difference between any YggDrasil and an Apple dongle. Both are excellent (audibly transparent) the only difference is one costs $1000s more

In what way did the Hart Audio cable sound worse than stock?

I would say there's 2 sides to this. Yes, they know what they're doing. Is it always in favor of optimal sonics? No. They already knew what they were doing sonic wise with the black paper when they started out, since that would be one of the least reflective baffle materials they could choose...
