Actually big-ban was the one who "invented" it.

I didn’t realize a change in soundstage but the bass improvement was definitely there and it helped my overall enjoyment of the W1000. I liked the comfort without the wool a tad better, but that’s probably matter of taste. Good to see you’re happy!

well, i will say thanks to him the next time i see him. the comfort is a bit of a love/hate thing. i like the fact that they are further away, but it has made is less cushiony, so weraing it for longer than 1 hour can be a bit of a pain, literally. hopefully that will resolve itself.

It didn't seem all that apparent to me either, but it depends on how much cotton wool you stuffed under the pads. The further the ears are from the driver, the more distant and spacious the sound. And this is not only a matter of decreased/increased volume, it does affect soundstage.

I'm right here!

It really sounds like you put a lot of it in there. Try using a little less so pressure distribution is a little more even around your ears.

lol, hi, and thanks again for the mod. i havent really used a lot, its just i have cotton pads instead of cotton wool. so i basically tore them apart, folded them, and stuffed them. it really isnt much, but it is quite dense.

actually, looking at your thread, you used the same material as me. i will try the roll method. and i added teh cotton all round, but i will add it just to the top and front. it was the back that was giving me the problem, so that might help.

thanks again

800ish imo, but they go for some really high prices here sometimes.

Thanks, that's kind of the ballpark I thought they should sell for.
