Strange. Mine have 5 more modes (Linear IIR, Linear Phase, Maximum Phase, Minimum Phase and Curve). Different versions, maybe?

 
What does it do anyway?

I'm really hoping to audition a black-driver HE400 sometime in my life, to hear what it could have sounded like.

Anybody know what was 'wrong' with the black driver verison?

 

[TMRaven]

First and foremost, they were prone to failing.  You'll notice that later iterations of the He-400 have more complex plastic surrounding the magnetic structures.  People have also said that they tended to sound too dark.

What I'm curious about is whether or not the simpler driver structure of the black driver HE400s was the cause of their dimmer treble.

Not quite sure, but the Linear phase offers different curve types than Digital.

Has anyone tried the lawton audio angled pads with the he-400s? Also has anyone compared the lawton pads to the jergpad pads to see which one sounds better with the he-400s?

 

[Sniping]

I'm pretty sure someone tried those pads already and said that they didn't like them....that was even before jergpads.

I recall some posts WAAAAAY back, where someone tried J$, Lawton, and even some older style Beyer DT 880 pads (apparently they fit after messing with them for an hour) and in the end they still preferred the HiFiMan velours the most.

Go for it dude, I can't speak higher of the mod. Here's my pair
 

 
All that's left now is to mod the headband for comfort, keep an eye out I may have something in the next few weeks.

 
Is there extra padding/foam in this headband or am I seeing things?

Nah there's no extra padding there, but I may have something to show later on today related to the headband

I tried and didn't like the beyer headband on my he-400.

Yeah im not fond of that headband mod either, it doesn't fit well around the he-400's headband. Anyway looks like I'll have something to show on Monday now

 

[Thujone]

beaver316, did you use felt for the pad material sewed on? I couldn't find the original post but I do remember you having a hard time finding velour material that was similar to the velour pad material.

 

[beaver316]

Yeah it isn't exactly velour that im using, but honestly Im not sure what it is. Some kind of felt fabric perhaps, it's plenty soft though.

 

[earphiler]

Can someone pretty please make velour (or even pleather) jergs for me? Would gladly pay and leave excellent feedback.

Mine have fallen apart too many times now and its both physically (stiff) and aurally painful to go back to stock velours.

It's not that I'm lazy, I'm just craftsmen incompetent.

Located in Maryland. PM if interested.
