I did as you asked and it's been a week with no reply so I'm guessing it will take some more time.

You can find similar cable to mine on eBay or aliexpress, search for silver plated headphone cables.

My 5cent: for orchestra/classical/web content I really like AQ Nighthawk for those, X2 does an ok job but the NH can really seperate instrument beautifully in turn you could hear everything clearly and it has less soundstage which makes it sound alittle closer but still is a semi open headphone...

So I got around making a silver coated cable for my hp and damn the sound signature is completely different from copper, I would say its somewhat brighter and the bass feels different, dunno if its better or worse but Im liking it. Need to go back and forth to find out and ill report my findings...

The shop which is was bought from told me its most likely better to just buy a new/used one cause it's going to be around 200 bux for the repair.

So after about 2yrs of use my headband gave up on me and luckily for me it did not pierce anywhere into my body when it came off. From what i noticed in the inside of the swivel the metal rods which were connected to it were welded, but not so good on my unit but it could be better on yours...

Just throwing in my 5cent.   For me, m50 were too sweaty, the clamp were too tight and I could not listen to the hp more than about 30-45mins at a time. The sound quality were good but the hp itself were not comfortable, some ppl had to stretch it to loosen it up and bought the brainwavz pads...

Cool, thanks for the clarification, now I need to find time to braid my occ silver wires :)

I've always wondered why it's important to ground the housing, cause some of mines aren't an they sound just fine.

1. Fostex th500rp - I just love these cans with xonar STX, I actually eq more bass to them. 2. B&W p7 - my travel cans when I'm outdoors, just love em. 3. Philips x2 - my go to gaming cans, love the soundstage and in ur face bass. 4. AQ Nighthawk - good overall, excellent for classical and web...

  wth I made another one and this time the braided cable is wrapped in ptfe tape 2 times, dunno if its my imagination but this cable sounds less bright than the other 2.

I would happily lend you a set if u lived in Oslo :p

  Just made two cables for portable use cause the stock one is way too long, interesting enough these sounds brighter. Same cable type diff connectors still more or less same sound, they are signal wires made out of copper and braided :)

    My first attempt on diy cables for my headphones.

EQ is a very good way for a quick fix, I have xonar STX but I like xfi to o2 the best with my x2, then I change different size of pads depending on my mood. Leather pads without the fabric covering the drivers helped somewhat to bring out more clarity to the HP. This might not work for you but...

I believe the imbalance is caused by loose ear pads and that's why they glued them afterwards. Mines aren't glued on so there's imbalance sometimes when my left ear pad locking mechanism is loose. I've also tried it with my homemade leather pads and there are no problems at all, I'm actually...

I did not have in mind for it to fit the NH but it did, I actually kept listening for another half an hour and I kinda Digg the wide soundstage even though it might be too wide but it's fun. Gonna test out the other mods for these cans too and see how it is compared to stock, hopefully they are...

These pads are making its roundtrip through my hp collection and sadly it makes the soundstage abit too wide for my taste, need to make smallet pads for this hp.

Nah, mine snapped by themself like a month or so ago and I've been using a logi g35 headband between the x2 soft and metal headband to keep it in place on my head all this time, I havn't been bothered to fix it yet which is an easy job. I have memory foam from an old pillow but I choose to use a...

Thx, also the driver imbalance is gone too, so I guess it is because of the original left pad is more airy or loose than the right one. I'm probably gonna make a few small pads cause I just freaking love how my X2 sounds. I'll post some more pictures in a few weeks, hopefully I'll make a simple...

I made them myself :) they were supposed to go onto my fostex th500rp but it doesnt seem to do anything for them so I tried it on this one and it sounded so nice.

My x2 with giant leather pads, the bass is now less in your face, it also feels tighter,the soundstage is significant wider, i also really like vocals. Tbh it sounds like a totally diff hp, alot more neutral imo. Oh yeah, the headband snapped some time ago so this fits with my new mod :)

And here they are, my home made extra large pads. Atm the only difference i could hear is that the sound is more distant so everything is less than before, i hoped that the bass would be better but i cant hear any improvements. Need to test em some more i guess.

I'm currently having some tone imbalance too, it seems like if the left driver is about 1-3% lower in volume. I've also checked if my ear pads were loose on left side but they arent. An easy fix on the pc where most drivers have a mixer which you can change left/right vol channels, still I'm...

Nice thx, I'm currently making some non angled earpads for my fostex, this is gonna take awhile but i'll posts some pictures once its done :)
