Other than changing the foam protecting the speaker.To a thin ladies tights material...what else can be done. heard of bluetack etc been placed inside the headphone...

Anyone ??

I didn't like taking the foamies out of the phones. It threw the equalization off and the phones lost their magic. I think that with good components and cables, the 600's don't need any mods.

I will agree with that!

Hope you guys stick to your guns when the HD650 comes out...

Here's a couple of tweaks you might (or might not) want to try. I have not tried them but am considering doing so, as soon as I work up the nerve.

-insert a tiny piece (or pieces) of thin felt (or soft material) between the driver edges and the plastic housing

-layer of damping on inside edge of rear screen, or stuff the area with feathers from an old pillow

-listen without the rear screen

-spray the entire rear area of plastic housing with sprayable rubber, as suggested by wallijohn (not the tweak, but the product)

-try different densities of foam for the padding covering the drivers. This I have tried, and if you use a corser, less dense material (like speaker grill foam), it affects the midrange and top end.

-use your imagination.

I very much hope that the HD 650 will not be to the HD 600 what (I read that) the Grado SR325 have been to the SR225.

Or the Grado ...25 series to the ...00 series.

wouldn't that void the warranty??

No doubt.

That's kind of like someone saying "If I have sex, won't that void my virginity?"

Any resonance control would work minimal effects, I would think. On no account take the foam out... It makes the HD600 do a very bad impression of a Grato.

When I get them i will put the foam back in removing the very thin material . I was always under the impression that this was a major mod that most sgreed was worth doing??

sure its cheap and is easy for me to try... Just wondered why it didnt work for you or others??

cheers
