so ive had my D2Ks for a good long while, with alpha dog pads and deeper wooden cups from
Lohb (which i installed sometime beginning of may i think). these are my "recreational" set that give a club-like sound, i listen to electronical music mostly, anyway - the D2K do their job really really well.
now, admittedly, any headphone based spending will probably loose out to more urgent things, but i am playing around with the idea of damping them somehow. ive noticed that male voices, mostly on movies or series, can sound very unnatural with all that boom from the dennons.
has anyone here tried damping his set "a little bit"? just to tame down the lows a tad? i dont want to go full on damping - these are my "fun" set you see?
anyone willing to share?
cheers

Well, it's official. The problem has gotten worse
Now 60% of the time, it doesn't work. I know chances are (very very) small but there is no one here from Belgium who can help me with this?
fixing such a problem should be pretty easy for anyone even remotely connected to sound or electronics. now, im not Belgian so unfortunately i cant help you myself, but im sure youll be able to find some electronics shop or something that could do it for you. the type of shop youd go to to get a power supplier for a headphone amp, the type of shop technicians go to to get soldering equipment or electrical doo dads etc. - you know what i mean? the way you describe it, either the cable connected to the driver got loose, in which case you only need to open up the cups and re-solder, or the plug area is damaged somehow, which would mean cutting off a couple of inches, and soldering a new plug - both easy fixes. im sure you can find a place that will do it for you, and im willing to bet itll be inexpensive too. where would you go to get a toaster fixed? try that place.
i also think that you should get them fixed regardless of whether or not youre going to sell them. a "refurbished" set will probably sell for significantly more than a "broken" one - just my 2 cents
I decided to pull my D2000 out, clean them-up, and test the Beyerdynamic C-0NE headband I purchased for the TH-900 on it first in case it doesn't fit and cause some tears or something.... (It fits perfect and looks fantastic IMO) I had another go at trying to fix whatever was making that rattling noise so I took the driver under bright light. I noticed that the glue/residue that is holding the driver to the frame was detached slightly in one tiny spot. I took a flat-head screwdriver head and carved that tiny barely-visible speck off the driver.
i always enjoy stories of gear being given new life - its a really satisfying feeling when that poor old -piece of gear- finally works again isnt it?
btw, id glue that hole up somehow if i were you
