I have been listening to the 600's quite a bit, however, I still find the bass a bit overbearing. So like any good Headfier I decided to open them up and have look and see if there was anything I could do to tame the bass. Once inside my suspicions were confirmed as there are two open holes on the back of each driver. I decided to cover one of them up with double sided tape. It was better than stock, a lot less bleed into the midrange and much less sloppy and overbearing. So I thought if covering one was good then covering both would be even better. So I covered up both holes, put everything back together and had a listen. Nope. Too much of a good thing. Covering both holes killed a lot of the bass, took away a lot of the fun factor of these phones. I liked them better with only one hole covered. I removed the tape from one of the holes and confirmed what I had originally thought, one hole is the best. Bass is much punchier, less bloated and sloppy.

Ok so I'am curious to try this mod, but this member isn't active for quite a long time, so I can't PM him...
How should I take the cups off? Tried the easy way but seems that something is holding them tightly, although there are no visible screws anywhere around this area.. Maybe somehow outer plastic with JVC label comes off first?
