How do you like them now with them modded like that? What all changed?

EDIT: Also, watch out for hairs getting in there.

Would you please describe the diference in sound?

 

[H5N1]

It really opens up the mid and high on the my 650. It moves me closer to the "stage". It is now comparable to my RS-1. Forgive for my poor English, I cannot really describe the sound very nicely... One thing I can say is that they sound better than ever.. If you like the way they sound w/o the foam, you should definitely do this.

Peace out

I wouldn't do that, not even if they were pointing a gun to me. I love my 650's far tooo much.

I wouldn't do it to my 580s either. Not a "de-foamer" here, I never have believed that foam is sonically impeding enough to make that big a difference. Why would headphone manufacturers (nearly all of them) use a foam material that degrades sound? Makes no sense to me.

Andrea, there is nothing to fear, you can always replace the foam if you do not like the results.

fewtch, the foam does not degrade the sound, but it changes the character of the phones. Its a super-easy, reversible modification, everyone with bigger Senns should try it, IMO, and just if to see that they don't like it & put the foam back in place the next day.

Nerves of steel, I would still be sweating. Any difference with no cover there?
