I covered all 8 of the vents in the ear cup with electrical tape, then I covered the back vent with another piece with an approx. 3mm notch in it. Deep bass is there in gobs, maybe too much. I may start peeling a couple pieces of tape off the ear cup slots to see the effect.
I think I understand that covering the back vent reduces that mid bass hump (Ala the t40 graph from innerfidelity) and the ear cup prevents leakage and provides deeper bass. What would internal damping net me? Would that improve mid clarity? I'm thinking of doing newplast on the back of the baffle and some Silverstone foam on the inside back. Are there any potential downsides in doing those mods? Sorry full of questions and thanks in advance for any help!!
I purchased a pair of t50rp mk3s but the stock pads are too small for my admittedly-largish ears and I find the treble a bit too forward/hot.
There's been numerous discussions concerning t50rp mk3 "pad rolling" in this thread and others - but is there a general recommendation for a set of replacement pads that offer better comfort while taming the treble a bit?
Apart from the treble, I find the frequency response of these to be just about perfect and would prefer not to change anything else.
Out of curiosity, has anyone ever cut the filter off of the 1540s to expose the driver? I was thinking it might bring back the mids and highs, but $40 is $40, and am afraid I might ruin them
I have both and I totally agree with this. The Sines are quite a bit more (I paid $320 USD on sale though) but I think the T50RP Mk3 sounds better and is more comfortable, especially with the Brainwavz sheepskin pads for me personally . I use the Sine as a portable headphone and at work and use the T50RP at home. Great combination for me.
Have you done any other mods besides the sheepskin pads? And does it change the sound?
what is your current dac/amp? I bet it would work. I use a Micca Origen+ with my RPs at work, and they power then just fine.Bit of a shot in the dark, but I was wondering if anyone here has ever tried driving these with the Audioengine D1. I've been thinking of picking up a pair of these, but Zeos' stressing the need of a strong amp has kind of scared me off, and I'm not looking to upgrade my DAC/Amp quite yet.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I'm currently using the D1.
