If the "requires a certain cable angle to work" is about the removable cable then getting a replacement cable will do the work. But any issues other than that will be a pain, dont even try to disassemble the headphone u'll most likely destroy it because of how they're put together

Do u have a link to the headband?

Those are 53mm drivers

Audio-technica ad900x drivers Also, this thread is for discussions on headphone/iem drivers. Try to keep the thread in line wit the topic above thanks

They stop painting their magnets when they found out some of their Susvara's, hek magnets paint started flaking after some time. Now every planar that they currently produce won't have painted magnets And the black aesthetic is now replaced by a black fabric material that they stick on their...

Do u have the link to dis? Edit: Found it. Thanks anyways

The magnets are indeed just painted in black

To my surprise, there's sonic difference between them. The differences is nothing major, but enough for one to pick on the changes

It's just me curious on how and how much the fabric that was originally sticked on both side of the drivers affected the headphone's sonic wise

Hifiman Ananda Had to remove the fabric that's covering the front and back of the drivers. Don't mind the ugly stuff around the edge of the drivers, it's the tape that's used to stick the fabric on Bad paint job. Sorry for the poor pics

Do u have a pic of the fake 1840 drivers?

Ohh.... OH sweet Jesus.

After posting that, i noticed that my t20 v2 (also known as t20rp v1... Confusion ) have different wires that connects the drivers and also slightly different magnet structure from ur's. This is my t20 v2 Hmmmmmmm

Owo how did u separate the magnets from the diaphragm? Does the magnet just slide out from the housing? I was scared to do anything with them but i wanted to align the holes of both of the magnets

I guess that's how Hifiman designed the he4xx to set them apart from their other more expensive models. And for the puncture.. Long story short, but it's from my accidental slip of hand and a metal tweezer... Gud thing there's no trances in that area. It still works normally and i don't hear...

Here's Hifiman's he4xx diaphragm Ignore the sad puncture

Sounds like a bad driver or qc issues. Is the distortion coming through in lower frequencys? The diaphragm might be touching the driver housing when it's moving
