I tore down my damaged GL400 driver that sucked a screw while trying to modify the damping of the driver. I just thought you people might like to see what it looks inside the driver. There are only magnets in the back of the driver. First item is actual driver. Second is the magnets which are...

Cool. Its a nice experience isn't it? For me I have auditory tactile synethesia which for listening on headphones is great. I don't need a separate device to vibrate my body that you can find online. I get an extremely good feeling that is almost the same as listening to speakers.

I feel bass in my body that is so realistic to the source material that I have frequently reached down to feel my subwoofer to see if it is somehow playing even though I know its impossible due to my system setup. This is true all the way from 10Hz to 200Hz. I tested the 10Hz frequency using a...

Comparisons between my speakers & headphones show very close sound signatures which is one of the goals that many headphone manufacturers shoot for. My speakers are slightly modified JBL LSR305's augmented with a modified Tannoy TS10 subwoofer with the goal of extending bass into the truly sub...

This is a post I moved from another thread. I deleted the parts that didn't apply here. I decided after further listening to make the following changes. I put some foam inside the ear pad behind the grill cloth to increase damping on the front side. I took the back off & placed 2 pieces of old...

I have the Goldplanar GL600's and the have an excellent bass & sub bass & are open back.

After considerable listening & consulting a friend of mine that owns a studio & asked about the characteristics of the mikes used in the recordings he made. I found that my modifications to the headphones took them the wrong direction as there was way to much energy in the 1-2KHz range due to...

Got my GL600's today and they sound phenominally good except for a kind of nasty peak in the upper midrange-presence area. Otherwise these sound great. In order to address the peak I tried to increase the damping but that didn't work. It made vocals sound thin. I though about removing the paper...

The closest parallel I see is that the magneto static driver has all of the elements of a balanced armature minus the rod & arm but the magnets & coil are there & the thin magnetically reactive drive element take the place of the arm & rod. Beyond that everything is just positioned & shaped...

Unfortunately no I don't have the m570 nor the m565. They are a little out of my price range. These were just general observations that should apply to the m565 or many other magnetic planar headphones if they were to exhibit similar problems.

You are not actually damping the driver by putting that stuff on the chassis. You are only damping the chassis not the driver. In order to damp the driver you need to place something restrictive over the holes such as cloth, felt or special damping paper. You may have actually made problem worse...

Removing the foam reduces the damping & this affects mostly the drum resonance that is usually around 200-300Hz depending on planar driver/. All planar drivers have this resonance to varying degrees, which is the heart of where much of the natural reverb occurs. You may also hear more of the...

These are the GL400 open back version. They are on ear style "portable".portable is in quotes as they do need some power to sound their best & being open back no sound isolation. They are no bigger than the Senheiser HD25's

I have a pair of these & they were quite hot sounding in the lower midrange to me. Most natural reverb in music resides in the lower midrange & on mine the reverb was in some cases over powering other more direct sounds. High frequencies were almost nonexistent but what little there was was...

The headphones in question have very different sound starting out the gate. The Gold Planar GL400' are very full sounding but dark due to reduced treble where as the Sennhieser HD25's are very bright but have good strong lower midrange as well but with room be able to increase the midrange...

Been listening to some live recordings & it sounds so good its almost like being there at the live event. It is incredible how makes you feel you are there & that is on my V60 tricked to output high gain. Treble is great now but not excessive. Just revealing the balance in the recording. It...

On further listening there was just too much reverb in the sound. I determined that this was caused by accentuation in the frequency range between 200Hz & 500Hz. You can usually fix this more physical damping without much affect on bass or treble response. To fix this I took the thin foam...

You can add the Gold Planar GL400 to the 71-100 dollar list these cost $79.99 on Amazon. They are made by same company as the Tin Fi earphones which is Linsoul in China. & are entry level planar magnetic earphones. They sound quite good with some limitations. They are good enough to make one...

I bought these headphones from Gold Planar that cost only $79.99. While they seem very cheaply constructed they also appear that they would be durable with possibly the exception of the driver. I only say possibly the driver due to its unknown source & relative cheap plastic construction which...

I measured the resistance of the drivers today & the tweeter measured 7.6 making it an 8 ohm driver & the woofer measured 3.9 ohms making it a 6ohm driver. Woofers tend to have a wider variance than tweeter do when comparing D.C. resistance compared to A.C. impedance. According to the ratings of...
