I'd play around with the damping first. I seriously doubt that those short runs of silver could be the culprit.

Mine don't sound shrill at all and could either be due to the above or the mods done to them. In case any of you want to replicate the mods I have to see if it helps: Blackgold recable [one run of copper and one run of silver for each side of the driver, or signal and ground if not balanced] No cotton, no bluetak, taped up cable entry holes. K501 headband, velour pads, elastics tweaked [getting a good seal and a perfect fit with the K340 is critical] |
