Keeping the thread alive, I bought new thicc pads and an auxiliary cable that solved the issue of loose connection in the right driver. The pads diametre is 100mm and they fit very tightly in the drivers gaps. The bass is so much louder now that I even thought I had equalizer on, I didn't...

Hello, there are no screws, you need to pry the cups open with a flat screwdriver or similar tool. Some or all tabs will be broken, but you can easily glue them back with epoxy/hot glue. Here's a very detailed tutorial that @Slater posted, I created a PDF from it for easier consultation...

Good news folks, the issue of the sound failing in the right driver was cable's fault, and both of them. I bought cheap Motorola headphones (Pulse Max) that came with an auxiliary cable with thin 3.5mm plugs, and it works fine on both of my SHL3300s, so happy now. However, I need to replace...

Mine are so severe that I had to retire them until I can fix the bad connection, if I can. I modded my two SHL3300s around two years ago, they were working fine until january more or less.

@Slater Have you ever faced bad connection after the cable mod? I ask that because recently both of my SHL3300s started having a bad connection where the sound of the right channel keeps getting silent with the slightest motion, like moving my head or tugging the cable, even gently. I have to...

Great job man! Both phones sure looks better than either of my two SHL3300s. It warms my heart knowing that these criminally underrated cans are being kept alive thanks to Slater's modding tutorial, he's the real MVP. I still have lots of those 3.5mm connectors that I would give away a couple of...

Keeping the thread alive, the knockoff HM5 pads on my SHL3300 began to peel off after about a year and half. I occasionally wiped the pads with a damp cloth after wearing the phones for extended period, as my ears sweat like crazy, and even applied a leather moisturizer product a couple of...

The cable mod is more than worth the effort, I modded my two SHL3300s in a couple of hours. I recommend having someone to hold the 3.5mm jack in place while you solder the wire, or have a clamp, because holding the solder, the iron, the jack and the wire all by yourself is a real pain in the...

I swear these cans with the knockoff HM5 earpads sound better and better with each listen. They might not be among the most accurate headphones out there, but few provide so much fun as these. One of these days I was listening to the Beverly Hills Cop Limited and Miami Vice The Complete...

Welcome to the Philips SHL3300 club! Yeah, these heaphones are criminally underrated. You're lucky the cable hasn't crumbled in 5 years, but these cans are modding-friendly, as you can see from the images I've posted. About your question, Philips website from my country also says the frequency...

Great news, folks, my Ugreen aux cable has finally arrived! The build quality is nothing less than phenomenal, it's really worth its price tag. The cable is braided and feels very sturdy, gives the impression it will last for a couple of years. The TRS connector housing being slimmer fits the...

I'd go with the 3M™ Rubber And Vinyl 80 Spray Adhesive, at least the details indicate this is the most appropriate adhesive to glue the materials you intend to: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Rubber-And-Vinyl-80-Spray-Adhesive/?N=5002385+3293194236&rt=rud

Thanks for the kind words man, I appreciate it. I tried to remove the headband fabric, but it was way more complicated than I had thought. What I did was just removing some of the Phillips scews in order to roll up the fabric and brush the peeling pleather coating with a tooth brush. I never...

For those who want to read Slater's full post here, which contains the tutorial of the removable cable mod, instructions for replacing the headband fabric and other very useful tips, here's the text-only version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HGiVsqTHL3mgXnQgN8ONJnCmjP60I4m7/view?usp=sharing...

Thanks again for the tips, I forgot you had also changed the fabric of the headband. About the wire phasing check, I only noticed the in-phase test tones sounded more frontal to me, where the out of phase samples sounded more lateral, like the sound was inside my head. I couldn't perceive more...

Guys, I have finally finished the modding! Spent most of the weekend working on it, but was really worth it, as I now have two cableless Philips headphones. I had a really hard time soldering the driver wires to the pins of the 1st SHL3300, but the 2nd one was a bit easier, as I had more...

Thanks again for the reply. What is the purpose of the no-clean flux? Isn't flux only needed to clean oxidation and impurities on the surface to receive the solder?

As a nerd, I really appreciate the expansive and technical explanation given by you! I'll follow the tutorial verbatim then, man, you really know your stuff about modding headphones! edit: pardon me for pesting you once more, but I would like to be sure: is there any specific recommendation...

Great news fellas, I've received the fake HM5 earpads and 3.5mm jacks from ebay, now I can finally proceed with the cableless mod. Unfortunately can't say the same about the auxiliary Ugreen cable, as the shipping couldn't be any slower. I've already removed the cup from the left driver, and...

I bought I bought a 1-metre braided Ugreen aux cable on eBay, which was listed for a good price and was allegedly sold directly by Ugreen Group Limited. Though I guess this lenght is adequate, I really wanted a longer cable, like 1,2m or 1,5m, but the only longer cable from Ugreen was 2...

I did look, but I'm unsure which one to get. I already bought the HM5 knockoff pads from ebay.

@Slater and @bryanswy I got another US$ 5 discount coupon on ebay for at least US$ 10 in purchases. Would you recommended any AUX cables available on ebay? It can be a custom headband as well, I have until the 14th of this month to use this coupon.

Full price was $10.09, but I applied a $5 coupon, so I got them for $5.09 + $2.00 of shipping fee (with tracking and all). I believe it was a very good deal. The headband of one of the SHL3300s I own is in good condition, so I'll hold from getting a new one right now. Now that I've already...

Thank you for the support folks, I appreciate it. So now that I have ordered the 3.5mm jacks, I need to buy some new pads. I know that the Brainwavz HM5 pads available on Amazon fit the SHL3300 like a glove, but do the ones from China sold on ebay as too? I'm aware that the HM5 pads offered on...

@Slater I took the liberty of creating a guide from the cable mod instructions you have posted previously. I tried to copy and paste the text, but the formatting was all messed up, so I ended up typing everything from scratch. I embedded all the pictures you uploaded and did some editing to...
