Can you check if it’s glued down properly? I recalled some Quality problems with the early batches that required them to glue down some parts because the screws were loose. You’ll have to do a quick search.Is someone else noticing some crinkling noises when lifting the cups to adjust them or getting the phones off your head?
Is this normal?

Any updates on your order? What’s your order number from mimic audio?Any idea how the Mimic Audio orders are handled in comparison to the Modhouse direct orders?
I ordered through Mimic on Nov 11 during Dallas CanJam, but not a peep since then.
Yep, I did email Mimic about a week back and got this response from TJAny updates on your order? What’s your order number from mimic audio?
"Hey there,
You’re approximately 4th in line currently, so I’m hoping I’ll have it out by end of month."
Fingers crossed for the end of May!

So ModHouse prioritizes their own orders before Mimic Audio. Good to know.Yep, I did email Mimic about a week back and got this response from TJ

Uhm what part should be glued down or is prone to get loose?Can you check if it’s glued down properly? I recalled some Quality problems with the early batches that required them to glue down some parts because the screws were loose. You’ll have to do a quick search.

I believe there were screws that secure the headphone drivers in place. The first batch had problem of it being too loose. So subsequent ones are now glued down after screwed down. Not sure if your issue is the drive not being secured down or not.Uhm what part should be glued down or is prone to get loose?
Place #6 washers under these points and you have a permanent solution for the air gap. Hello sub bass.
These headphones are officially my endgame.

Agreed. As soon as I created a permanent air gap on Tungsten I knew it was special. Really encourage every one to try it if they don't like the default sound.Place #6 washers under these points and you have a permanent solution for the air gap. Hello sub bass.

I think November orders are an outlier. It shouldn't be used as a reference, IMO.So ModHouse prioritizes their own orders before Mimic Audio. Good to know.
I say this because at the time I ordered from Mimic (early Jan), the ETA was 10-14 weeks, which implies to me that Ryan thought he would be getting to all orders (via his website and Mimic) close to equally. Of course, that ETA changed to 20-24 weeks when I followed up a couple months ago.
Also, I'm just coping.

Is this a DS only mod or something that sounds better on SS as well?Place #6 washers under these points and you have a permanent solution for the air gap. Hello sub bass.

It should change both versions in similar ways. Like others have noted, you can easily try it out yourself by just twisting the pads so they are not set into the designated holes to see if you like the effect.

So is there a way of telling single vs double sided?
