Is there a way to mod Beats by Dres to not suck?

[qusp]

yep, well you cant have a passive active noise cancellation system, so yes there will be an amp of some sort in there

 

[streetdragon]

hmm well there is active noise canceling system in there too. but very a very bad one though, feels like your ears are about to pop due from pressure difference, instant headache

Er, you could try what I'm suggesting without affecting the resale value of the phones.

the beats pro is the only decent headphone they make and it needs to be at most $125 or $200 not $400 they are no where nears as durable as other headphones i had a pair of detox pros for 8 months used normally didn't stretch them or anything just one side randomly shorted out i have since switched to koss dj100 , pioneer hdj 500, and soul sl150 for when I DJ i know soul is a rapper sponsored headphone but they actually sound pretty good but if i could i would take my sisters beats studios and put pioneer hdj 2000 drivers in them

Yes there is a way to mod. Its very simple.
1. Find any beats headphone.
2. Buy a good iem
3. Wear the iem
4. Pop a beats on top of your ear
5. Now listen your iem while wearing beats

Or replace the beats drivers with the iem drivers

Or replace the beats drivers with the iem drivers

And waste the isolation offered by the iem you used

Did you know that all the Beats headphones that have a 40 mm dome driver have exactly the same driver? Whether it be the Solo or the Pro Detox, they actually share the same speaker driver. It's the enclosure that makes the difference, and in the case of the Studios, the circuit board.

 
I made my Beats Studios not suck. I removed the existing hissy noise cancelling circuit and rewired it to a Bluetooth headphone circuit board.

Alternatively, if you don't want to do that much to your existing setup, you can do either of the following.
 
1: Cut the wires leading to the noise cancelling microphones in both earcups to remove the mediocre active noise isolation. The inverse of no signal is no signal, and you still get to keep the amp.

 
2: Bypass the active noise isolation + amp circuitry altogether by jumping wires from these contacts on the circuit board:

 
This way, the Beats Studios will become a fully passive headphone, with no amp, no hissy noise cancelling, no bass boost and no mute button. Plus you won't need to worry about dead batteries!

One thing u can do



As per i know they use dynamic driver

Plus u can do is that u can paste blutack on each magnet...

Very lightly Stuff teared cotton balls...dont try to fill

Get a stethoscope

Close ur headphone....use a 100hz sine wave tone on 10% volume and try to hear something stupid on ur headphone

Like vibration

Open the headphone and apply blutack there


Zero resonance
Driver harter issue solved
Larger encloser(improvement in muddiness)


Thhey try capMod as mentioned to reduce the bass
