Hello head-fi!
Just did this mod by melting a hole in either cup by heating up an allen key with a lighter. Worked great! The holes are about 3mm wide and this has added a subtle but noticeable boost to the pc 350's bass. If you're on the fence about this mod start easy and just do a small hole in each cup. I did one hole in the right cup first, re assembled it to compare the modded right to the original left speaker to see if i liked the difference. I originally made the hole only 2mm thick, but decided to make it an extra 1mm wide and definitely hit the sweet spot, so I did the same to the left and now the headphones are awesome
All you have to do is unscrew the screws and melt some holes, the only annoyance I found was having to unstick the thin foam pad that was covering 2 screws in the left cup.. but that's it!
Like I said if you only do one hole the difference is subtle but it saves having to add cotton wool to the enclosures. I'm sure if I add more holes and add cotton wool I could get an even better sound but for the moment I like it how it is. Thanks ourfpshero for a great mod
