I needed new same constructed drivers for the SA3000, which originals were replaced in a defective SA5000.
Drivers transplanted into SA3000 with added 10 Ohm ground resistor to up the impedance to 34 Ohms.
Now the SQ is Hi-Fi without using extra headamp, All portable music sounds amazing without fatigue! like the SA1000.
I'm happy with SQ.
Only a dampening modding the ZX700 will probably fix the wrong unbalanced lifeless brassy SQ!

Greatest Sony design bug ever and they use same design over over again!? z1000, zx500, 7510 , 7520 etc.
They must really loved and proud of this POS ever designed for deaf ppl.
The reflecting mids tuned ports ruined the excellent drivers!
- Headband is too tight, earpad/cup too shallow touch and clamp my ear bloodvessels, so I hear my own heartbeat What.
- Pulled the headband apart to lessen the clamping, but now the cups swivels everywhere, because the backpadding isn't thick enough to create the angled fit.
- There's no dynamics in the sound because what you hear is boring plastic mids, reverbs and echos caused by the 3 big echo reflecting front grills and no dampening in the cup chamber, hence the plastic mids reverbs are reflected through the front grills!
- This hp can go straight to the garbage, if I have extracted the 50mm drivers transplantation to SA3000.
