Very nice work. Great job!

At this rate... If you make a third woodie mod, you won't be able to go through the door! (has to turn sideways)

Great job! Love that hidden HF-1 number.

Garrett, Where did you get the screen from? I like that look. And does it sound any different from the HF-1 screen,or even the screen on the SR60/80?

:Modded Grado Smiley:

Good job working on that. I'm very curious how that large chamber hf-1 will look sitting beside your ears.

Never mind. I need to read all of the post first.

How my future HF-1 would look if I tried to mod it.

edit: felt guilty about hotlinking

I really think you might have overdone it with the new cup depth

, I like the hidden model number though.

wow I forgot about this thread... Thanks for the kind words fellas!!

Here are some finished pics.

I reverted back to the SR headband. I spent a LOT of time comparing this HF1 to the stock one, and a headphile C-pad mod at the SF meet.

Compared to the stock HF1 mine has warmer / fuller mids. Mids also have a sense of depth and reverberation as notes and sounds decay. Its an interestng sound. Those who are after accuracy will be even less impressed with this HF1. Those wanting a sense of vibrance and depth will enjoy them. It takes an already colored HF1 and adds just a little more to the sound.... its another ~5%.

Bass response is nearly identical in terms of impact. If anything, its a llittle less "one-note" sounding.

The C-pad Headphile HF1 is a completely different animal. Bass extends deeper, and has a little less thump, and treble sparkles more. Mids, vocals and guitars are much less in the head sounding. IMHO its much more AKG sounding than Grado sounding. Spectral image is... different, with a weaker center stage image. It IS an impressive headphone, but to my ears theres not enough "Grado" in them. If you have an HF1 and want to overhaul the sound, this is the way to go.

There are some pics of me wearing them in the latest SF meet thread. They got LOT of laughs at the meet. They ARE huge.

Enjoy!!... Not shure what my next project will be? I have some woody HD580 ideas thougth.

Can you post a picture with the HF-1s on your head?

Kramer, your modding skills continue to amaze me. There are a few members on this forum who just can't keep their hands off their headphones and you are one of them! Keep up the good work.
