yeah, I would try some different foam. It cant be too dense, or it will just block high frequencies. you want to tame them, not block them. you also want to free up the bass so its not so bloated. I used some disintegrating earpads off an old junk pair of portable cans. no loss there. results are just fine.

So I cut strips of thin foam, roll them up in order to fit the hole in the Marshmallow and tested it out. They seem less harsh and the bass is very very slightly decreased. I was hoping that they would be clearer but at the same time be less harsh when modded. They're don't seem very clear and slightly muddy. I just opened a BRAND NEW Marshmallow to compare (0 hours on them). The modded Mallows are less harsh and a bit more neutral but it seems to be lacking clarity. Is it because of the foam used? It is fairly dense and thin so I had to cut a rectangle out and rolled them into order to fit the hole. I would like more clarity and keep the harshness down! |
