Hey fellow HD650 users. Just curious how many of you remove foam from your headphones or just use them stock.

Cheers!

I'm thinking of stopping by CVS to buy some nylons, hehe, to protect drivers from hair.

stock until I really get to know them. btw is it reversible to remove the foam if you preferr the stock or would you have to get new foam for that?

If you mean the foam behind the drivers, I am not sure. The one in front is easy to remove and put back. Easy to remove the pads also.

BTW vote on the poll!

I replaced the front foam with nylon stocking material (don't get the econo brand...name brand is better quality mesh). It is really, really easy to do. All you need is scissors and about 10 minutes.

I don't see any foam when I look through the grills on the back. If there was any there maybe a previous owner (I'm #3) removed it previously?? If so, I guess that sorta would change my vote, i dunno.

I should mention that part of the reason I replaced mine was that they were falling apart when I took the cushions off to wash them. Note sure I would've done so if they were in good shape. If there is a difference in sound it isn't huge.

I have nylon in the place of the foam. I like the slightly brighter sound.

Leaving mine as is at the moment. Although have to say that i am tempted to try the nylons (for my cans i promise!!).
