this mod was made by accident but I'm glad it works

unless you dont have a mouse pad and super glue lying around the house, this mod isnt really free, but if you do then it is

pros: slightly more soundstage and slightly less forward vocals/guitars/mids. they are now circum-aural and dont hurt when using it for long time (because the drivers dont touch your ears anymore)

cons: it looks fatter and lessens the bass

first, a comparison between the stock (left) and moded (right) pads

see how much beefier they look

ok. now how to do it.

cut 2 thin strips of the mouse pad into half an inch
it has to be long enough so that when you wrap it around the drivers/cups. they have fit snugly so that they wont fall when there isnt any pressure holding them against the drivers/cups

now, cut out 2 circles. they should fit into the half an inch wraps and the circle in between should be enough to show the drivers.

glue them together using thin amounts of super glue

now try them on

now put the bowls on top of them

pull the bowls out a bit, about 5mm

now youre done

heres it (left pad) compared to the stock (right pad)

Nice mod. I know wearing the bowls for prolonged time can get irritating. Thanks for posting

I agree. You've come up with a nice mod and you've been quite even-handed about the pros and cons.

Cool mod. I may give it a shot.

Glad to see filipinos in the hobby

I discovered that if you put a thin piece of fabric between the mouse pad and foam you get a noticeable amount of bass

kinda resembles the 440 but you loose the high highs
