No, I haven't really experimented much with driver tuning - other than trying thicker or thinner cotton horseshoes.

I don't know what to do before I solder the resistor. Is there "step by step" guide for similar mod?

If you parallel resistors, you end up with smaller resistance than the smaller one.
I assume you should solder the resistor in series to the driver coil. Then you make a resistor divider. On the two resistors the voltage divides, so volume will be lower. But because the coil impedance (not real resistance) is changing with frequency, you make a filter. A low pass filter to be exact, that means the upper frequencies will be cut differently. Search Google for LR low pass filter.

I've been thinking of getting a pair of used srh840, but didn't like the treble peak, so I searched a bit and found this
It's a passive filter

Nice find. Here are more info about LowPassFilterI've been thinking of getting a pair of used srh840, but didn't like the treble peak, so I searched a bit and found this

I don't know if attenuation adapters can be good choice

Actually, if you don't mind going used or just being patient, you can find a HDD-1 for $5 or so. 1 out of the 2 I had actually ended up actually working but that's still $15 less for 1 working pair
. I'm 90% sure that the HDD-1 was the only Nokia bud with the red film, I've still got a "PK" shelled HDD-2 on the way but I know for a fact that the HDS-3 uses a different 150ohm driver. Possibly the same 150ohm 15.4mm white driver that's been popping up on Ali as of recent. Either way, I highly recommend just going through eBay and trying to find a few pairs to tinker with. (p.s. I will be doing a post about real and fake HDD-1's since I've actually encountered a pair online before).

Is it really that good? One popped up in a local store.Actually, if you don't mind going used or just being patient, you can find a HDD-1 for $5 or so. 1 out of the 2 I had actually ended up actually working but that's still $15 less for 1 working pair

Don't tell me you're wondering whether to buy it?
We are constantly talking about this driver as it’s hard to find and about how its good, and it’s literally served to you on a plate.
Chitty store can find this driver, but they sell it in between $40-$50

They're really good. Hope @vygas sends me one LOL jk
But dang is it hard to find, I saw listings of the drivers. There was two of them and I'm really contemplating whether I should ditch my planned projects and just buy it
. They were at least 15 to 20usd here for the drivers (thank god for Indonesian sellers!).

You say to leave it in the Nokia shell is fine?
You can, but you need to change the cable
