Hmm. I guess I'll go jegger-pad mod my Alpha pads. Why not? Everyone loves sub bass!

SERIOUSLY, although it's only noticeable with slower bass songs, listening to Core N Bass [like what I linked] had really almost no noticeable positive or negative effect

  WHERE can I order some Jegger Pads :O I just had a revelation! Pull the ear cups like 1mm away from ur ears and OMG THE FREAKING SUB BASS EXPLODES... what the hell Hifiman why would you DENY me such WONDERFUL SUB BASS 
 
Or better yet I could make some kind of Jegger Hybrid J$money pad
 
Yea where is the link to the JeggerPad Mod, so I can mod my J$Money pads 

The sub bass doesn't explode.. Is probably decreased. It's perhaps more like the mid/low bass. When you do such a thing, you create something like a mid/low bass 'hump'. If you want a similar effect, I think you should consider doing the venting mod, as that will loosen the bass a little
 
Must... resist.. urge..to...!
^They are called 'Jergulors' btw

Actually what it is, is resonnance. TOok me a while but after listening to it, you could hear it was like a echo, I assume it's the bass echoing off the top of the pads or something, and yea it did loosen the bass a smidge, but you could only really hear it with a "loose" bass line. All my Core n Bass stuff is too tight for there to be any differeance

When I lift the pads off my ears a cm or two all I really hear is a decrease in mids and highs, not an increase in bass.

^^ I think that's because you're covering the cups.

The jerg bass vent gives a pretty significant boost around 50Hz (about 3-4dB) but I find that the adjacent mids sound quite recessed as a result.

I forget where I saw it but some guy ran some measurements on a planar with and without the grills covered by his hand.  It's pretty amusing what the FR looked like when the grills were covered-- like a TH900 or Pro900 in the mids-- all peaky and dippy.

Lifting the cups away from the ears slightly (WITHOUT having your hand conveniently blocking the grills) really does 2 things from what I observed, 1) it creates a bass hump between 50-100 Hz and a quick roll-off below 50 Hz, 2) it raises upper midrange/treble, and not in a good smooth way either.

It is most significant with pleathers as I remember.

WOW a decrease in minds and highs is precived as an increase in bass! Nice going there :3 restating what I said in your own way!

yea the more I did it the more I noticed that, although I only lifted the pads with the EQ on, the eq drops the mids and treble and UPS the Sub Bass, so lol with the EQ off it sounded bad

It's only an increase if you turn your volume up to match what you had before with the earpads firmly on your ears!

for me is good...for the moment I leave it
when they arrive the J$pads and toxic cables (white widow) I see the result
