So can this mod be done with SR60's?
And can it be done after the senn 414 reverse pad mods?

 

[adamus]

yes (if bowls) and yes, if relatively bowl like

I'm sorry for the noob-ness of this question, but what are bowls?
Are they the same as "donuts"? like these:

Grado Earpads (Large) Pair @ HeadRoom - Right Between Your Ears

And are flats the same as comfies?

Yes, "bowls" are what you linked to at HeadRoom.

"Flats" are not comfies. Here's where to buy flats:

Grado Flat Pads - $35.00 : TTVJ, Todd The Vinyl Junkie

Meant good looking permanent.
Anyone try some sort of glue to clog the foam?

Hi everyone, i'm new to this site so please bear with me if i'm repeating anything...

Anyways I've experimented with my Sr80's and found that black silicone was the best looking , permanent mod for my bowl pads. The tape in my opinion sounded the best if you're looking for bass but the silicone looked much more professional and was very similar to the tape. What I did was used masking tape to cover the outer and inner foam areas on the pad (the harder material) and left the middle exposed. Then I coated the exposed foam with silicone in thin layers evenly with your forefinger. I left the bowls overnight and peeled the masking tape off in the morning. This left the bowls with a professional look. I didn't coat the outer and inner parts of the bowl because the foam is more condensed so sound should travel through them as easily. I'm assuming if I put a second coat of silicone it would strengthen the bass but I'm happy with one coat (just like how 2 layers of tape sound stronger than 1). I'll post pics once I figure out how to........ I hope that helps with any decisions to perform this mod. Everyone who sees the mod can't even tell I did anything after market to them which I like. I travel a lot so I didn't like the tape look.

Well done. Looks good enough to be sold commercially.
Do they feel much different to stock?

 

[Grimspoon]

Has anyone tried this with GS1000?

 

[vienbenitos]

Thanks for the comments. The "factory" look was what I was looking for. They do feel different after the mod.... a bit of bass upgrade. I was thinking of putting a second coat but can't go back if it's too much. I'm super happy with the mod. They smelled like chemicals the first couple days after the mod but it went away. The silicone is also very flexible and hasn't peeled off or cracked.

I tried this and while it did improve bass IMPACT, it did nothing for bass resolution or quality. I'm not a basshead, so I leave mine stock with stock bowls.

Figure, I know less than the designers of the cans, so who am I to try and better their design?
