Hello everyone. This is my first post, but I have been reading the forums here for a couple of weeks now (go procrastination!).
I recently got really frustrated with the terrible sound I was getting out of my ipod with some crummy MDR-V150 headphones so I bought the Sennheiser PX100-II (more or less based on my extremely fond memories of the previous model (PX 100)). These headphones are great, I'm really pleased with these, except I DO find that the bass is pretty dominating. I have given them a couple of weeks use, and although it has improved slightly, I still find myself missing out on the detail of some higher register guitar work and things like that. So onto my question!
A friend (and also some browsing of the forums here and elsewhere) suggested that changing the earpads might help to fix this situation. A bit of research seems to suggest the the big yellow HD414 pads might help to tame the bass a little, but I am not sure if this will work or not. Does anyone have any experience with this combo of cans and pads? Is any modification required and are there any trade offs? Any alternative pads to try?
And finally, they are So big and yellow! Can they be cut smaller (excess foam around the circumference) without sacrificing sound?
Anyway, thanking you in advance! And sorry if this has been covered already, but I have been looking around and apart from the suggestion that it could be done, I haven't found anyone actually talking about the effects of it!
