Just get part of the edge on and hold it there as you work around the rest of the headphone. Don't be afraid to stretch em a bit before-hand. When I first got em, I listened to them foamless and wasn't impressed. Then after fumbling with the foamies a bit and getting em on there, instant...

Another vote for the Audio Technica ES-7.

I've been itching to do some kind of mod with them lately. I too am interested in seeing photos how people have added them to the cable. Also, does wattage matter when picking out resistors? I assume you'd want the smallest when doing this mod?

I've put them in old 70s Koss headphones, some Aiwa headphones, and even tried drilling wooden cups to epoxy them into. They all sounded meh. The closed headphones sounded extremely boomy and closed nature made them sound like they were in some soup cans. The wooden cups made them sound echoey...

Wow this is an amazing idea. Did you ever find a decent digital frame that did this?

Another vote for the ES-7.

How do they sound? I may need to try this "blood" mod

I have put the drivers in wood housings, into old vintage 70s Koss headphones, and my old roommate's broken Aiwas. Did all the Kramer mods and tried various pads. Also recabled them for myself with Canare and another head-fi user commissioned me to mod some with Mogami cables. In the end, I...

I was actually doing a comparison test between my ES7s and DT770/80s last night. Unamped, my pick for headphone with full bodied CLEAN bass turned out to be the ES7s. Amped, I'd pick the DT770s because that's where they really have enough power to shine. But I definitely recommend the ES7s over...

I always make sure that they're in the cloth bag before I toss em in my backpack. So far, they've been scratch free. I can't say the same about the smudges though.

I'm currently on vacation in Japan right now and yesterday my mission was to find a pair of ES-7s. After asking around in broken Japanese, I found the last pair at a Yodobashi Camera to what equates out to be roughly 120 USD. I think my search for a closed portable has ended with them too. Their...

I'll wait for the production model 02 version.

This thread has convinced me to try one of these T-amps since I have been looking for an amp for my Polk Audio R50s that I picked up on sale but never had a chance to find an amp for them. I just ordered a Trends Audio TA-10.1 due EdT's post above and hope it will be powerful enough for these...

I considered painting them a shiny piano black but couldn't get around the fact the paint would get in the holes on the back unless i completely remove the driver. There's always a Sharpie marker. But in actuality, no one really cares what headphones you're wearing on the street (unless it's...

I agree with the KSC-75 idea. I wouldn't hack apart some $150 headphones and possibly have them sounding horrible. Plus, the KSC-75s are very easy to mod and retrofit into different enclosures. I've put them into old 80s KOSS headphones and an Aiwa headphone.

Just wanted to add that after I dug up the tips from the Sharp MD33 and put em on the JBL 220s, I no longer had any issues with the bass disappearing. They appear to be the same exact size but for some reason I get a much better seal without having to waste time trying different positions. I am...

I just saw The Departed today. I did like Infernal Affairs a bit better but if I hadn't seen it first, I would have thought The Departed was as good as the critics say it was. I also missed the hifi element of Infernal Affairs in The Departed outside of the brief instance of Mcintosh components...

Mine came in the mail today. I love the fabric cord, even earbud cord lengths, and perfect overall length of the cord. The extras like the case, bud tips, and adapters, are a great bonus for getting em for $36 bucks. I'll definitely take these with me for any kind of portable use. It's still...

Trying to mod my Sharp MD33 from 4-pole to 3-pole... Well at least I have some spare tips and an extension cord...

Just ordered it with some 98 cent pencils and $15 off coupon. Great deal! Thanks for posting this! I had Sony EX71SLs and Sharp MD-33s in the past and both had things that irked me like the uneven cords or the extra bulk of the extension cords. I hope these JBLs will fill that IEM void.

Did some searching and it's by Brian Robbins & Erin Alden from "A Beatles Tribute - Number One Again."

I was just thinking about listening environment as I was listing to Stereolab in a room lit only by tubes and my computer screen and decided to search Head-Fi to see if there were any threads about it. I like listening in my comfy bed late at night. Pitch black or dim lighting is always...

IT guy for a large alcohol company.

I just ordered some flats last night to find out for myself on my HF-1s. I also have the yellow Senn pads so I'll have to compare.
