Me thinks people should maybe adhere more to the OP specifically "the BEST male vocals" and disregard the music of the songs. Many here advocating songs with male vocals, but mute the music and the vocals become very unimpressive.

Different strokes for different folks........................logically, of course it's only compared to the drivers which they'd replaced, in my case it's the SR325e. Drivers are subjective, to a deaf person a $10 headphone is just as good as as $1k headphone. To a poor person, affordable...

Same as the original drivers Ground on the left solder point....................I taped the back to dampen them but not blocked any of the holes.

Beginning of the video shows the guy pressing the drivers out, it looks very easy but........they're glued together, best to take a hair dryer (not a lighter as in the video) and heat the area where the driver contacts the cup. Be careful not to overheat and melt the plastic cups, only warm up...

Just saying......if I were to buy the same television model, same car model, headphones et al, I'd opt for Japanese manufacture. If it's made in anywhere else, I'd give it a miss....

Still valid.... you're interpreting Japanese Economic decline with product quality. It's ingrained in their Custom to do everything as best as possible, anything less is a lost of Face, unlike Western workers who's only interest is end of shift >>>>>>>>>>lager lager lager. Most people doesn't...

Anything Made in Japan tend to be of better quality in build and material.

Years ago, I saw images of headband wrapped in heat shrink, orange & black iirc in sections and looked really nice too. I think his/her intension was for aesthetics, more than likely it stiffened the headband too so it also doesn't fall off...

Four) David Evans.

Three) Leonard Cohen.

Two) Johnny Hallyday.

Best Male vocals, I have three + One (because 4 is an unlucky Chinese number) personal favourites in no particular order, each have their own merits. One) Mori Shinichi

I tried all the Grado style AliExpress pads and Yaxi pads too...still ended up using these Sennheiser HD414 yellow pads. I purchased 3 pairs in the drawer as spares..... Glad you found your bass, give it more burning or usage time and it should increase even more..... Have you tried peeling...

The second purchase as future spares of the previously mentioned drivers arrived today. I'm amazed that they are matched so perfectly. NB. My OCD coloured the magnet to determine Left and Right, it arrived as plain silver.

3D files of the adapters will also be invaluable for those who need them to use with original Grado cups, plastic or aluminium. I'm modding my orininal adapters with MMCX female connectors for use with the original SR325e cups for testing (after I've finish sanding the outer cup-ring for weight...

No bother at all...you're most welcome. Would much like to see those 3D models............. Since @fleasbaby mentioned those cover rings, I search high 'n low, left-right 'n center, up 'n under but still could not find anyone selling or any 3D files of this elusive item. Cups and the adapters...

First and foremost, thank you for the most prompt reply, it is much appreciated. I had thought you used a laithe for your work, so nevermind as it may be problematic. Your information on sanding just given me the idea of flat sanding the outer surface until the black plastic ring become...

There may be 3D files for covers on thiniverse already, maybe just a matter of finding it. On another note, IIRC, you were modding the SR325 metal housing with inlaids a while back. The reason I'm using wooden cups is because of the weight of the metal. I saw that you had shaved the protruding...

I used the original SR325e driver covers, fitted perfectly. I also ordered another pair for 4-5 years time when these wear out.

One of the SR325e drivers died in the custom wood cups, I began to search high and low for a pair of replacements after being diasppointed by the Sennheiser PX100 (original) replacement drivers. Forget all those hyped so called high end pretty drivers at high prices, I'd prefer not to risk...

The Sennheiser PX100/PX200 driver covers makes perfect 44-45mm fitting.

For people who's asking about the Yaxi for Porta Pro pads.... comparing to stock pads, they are definitely a much better upgrade but if I'm correct, the underlying question isn't for comparision with stock but with the Sennheiser HD 414 yellow foam pads. Bare in mind that nowadays, Companies...

Realistically, few would buy a $29 headphone just for the heaband, it defeats the objective for us buying a $19 headphone in the first place ? With due respect, If I had done that, I'd consider myself to be a bit crazy. Yes it's a great picture. Parts Express headbands doesn't have to be ugly...
