When Frans gets into a headphone, believe me, it gets improved!!
We have to remember the low cost of this one as well, so once he's done, my feeling is that it will be one of the best at the price. I talked about the mods with him today and he showed me the fr graphs that he measured and there are large improvements.
What surprised me is that it goes as high as 24khz but there is also a dip up there which he managed to plug.
I'll wait until he decides he's got to a point where it won't improve any more and look out for his suggestions which he'll post.
Another curious thing he found was that the pads don't actually seal down on the head properly which affects the bass as well. The cups don't swivel enough on some heads so that it's in effect, slightly open at the bottom so he's looking for a solution.
Bass is lowered though by about 7db with his mod so the top end becomes less smothered which is a good thing.
