Thought about doing that but I want to keep everything 100% reversible, plus making the new grills was easy and made them look better imho.

Just ordered the Ori Lambskin, but I'm thinking I should have got the perforated ones instead? The conclusion from the pad-rolling reported in the thread is that the perforated ones with stuffing beneath the pads is the way to go. Is there anyone who've tried both combos and have the opposite opinion?
I would try to get them to do a cancel/exchange since to my ears, damn near every aspect is improved with the perfs and some problems fixed, too (congested mids.) Pretty sure I'm the first so far, but I'm hoping more people try this perforated mod combo. I can honestly say that up until now I would constantly be looking for things to improve upon (in terms of mods or new purchases) with every can I've tried (Q701, He-400i, He-560, HD650, Focal Elear, HD800, etc.), but these finally have me sitting down to bliss-out and not feeling like I'm missing anything better. Sorry to be such a hype man for these, but I'm sure some will agree with this pad/mod combo.
Well while the per
Hummm maybe we should Bill over at the other site (one that shall not be named) to try there perf pads on his set and measure them... I might spring for the perf pads to test myself we will see.
Yes, this is an excellent notion. Let's make this happen. Granted the foam mod should be included as well.
I've sent ZMF an email and asked if they can change the order. It's already marked as shipped, so my expectations are low... I'll probably just have to order the perforated ones the next time they drop on Massdrop. ^_^
They were able to pull the package from outgoing and change the order to perforated, can't wait till they get here! ^_^
I've listened a lot to the cans this weekend, they're awesome after the grill mod! The mod made a huge difference, all but eliminating the treble peak at around 10 kHz to my ears. The bass feels tighter too, but I think that might be due to the less pushy treble. They're still a a bit too bright for thin mastered recordings after a few seconds of comparison to my HD-650. We'll see where the mods take them.
I'll try the foam mod as soon as I get the pads. How many milimeters are you guys using, does the foam impact the sound other than by increasing the distance to the driver?
