In my opinion anything blocking the sound from the drivers to the ears does bad things to the resolution and clarity, but I don't doubt that your mod brings down the upper mids/lower treble even more than the stock foam donut does to even out frequency response.

It's really hard for me to describe the effect of this, but I have decided that I like it and will keep it there. It's quite subtle, but I think maybe it makes the sound more coherent, with just slightly less noticeable separation of instruments. I've read some have a hard tome listening to the whole spectrum because it's so easy to focus on just one thing, like a guitar or violin or piano. I think this mod "gels" everything slightly. But like I said it's very subtle so it very well could be that I'm "just hearing things".....pun intended |
