Hey Magick,
 
How would you recommend I increase the sub bass on the Philips?
 
I am also changing the pads to Audio Technica AD900X from the current nylon/synthetic stuff. Should help with the
 
clean up the bass and provide more rigidity to it as its a bit boomy at the moment.

Did you try the mod I wrote about?

 

[gikigill]

Not yet, but I did put damping in front of the driver through the ear pad. Haven't opened them yet.

Might want to re-read the post, you don't need to open them (and opening them messes them up quite a bit, due to them being glued shut).

@Magick Man when you say .."you'll want to draw an oval in the craft foam", do you mean "... in the rubber" 
 
@gikigill Where did you get a pair for 99AUD delivered in under a week? please.

 

[Magick Man]

yes, it's sort of a dense foam rubber, sorry.

I got them from Catch of the day.

I made the pads that go in the middle Magick but the craft foam will need to wait as I don't have any.

Thanks for that, I haven't been on the site for ages, the promotion emails tend to get deleted.
Ordered - now all I need is some EPDM butyl.

Is the type of rubber/foam important or is it just to lift the pad higher?
Thanks for this mod (and the T50RP I did previously), this is my last ever headphone + 1

I tried a less dense foam and it caused an odd resonance and did nothing for bass extension, so I used the densest material I had on hand, which was that rubber, and it finally worked.

 

[gikigill]

Amazon offers varying thicknesses, which one would you recommend Magick?

 

[Magick Man]

The 4mm is what I used, though I would have used 5mm if I had it. You don't need a very large sheet, of course.

 

[gikigill]

I'll get hold of the 5mm and report back.

Im guessing the deal is over.... but luckily it is COTD so it repeats I guess?

 

[gikigill]

Yes, they will be back soon.
