Polyfil works. Think I'm about done with tuning, I really like what I'm hearing now, very balanced. I only really want to play with front filtering going forward but I could live pretty happy with how these now sound.
 
Red=Stock.
 

 
Final'ish Mod:
 
Earside: The stock rear foam in place of the stock fabric driver cover and Vegans.
 
Backside: A rectangle of creatology felt double side taped over the entire driver opening, followed by Polyfil, sandwiched off with a circle of felt between cotton and grill.

Can you show a comparison to just Vegan pads vs you mods?  Also CSDs would be great 36dB scale.

Vegan Vs Mod
 


Hope this is right, Waterfall Vegan only change from stock.
 

 
Current mods waterfall.

Aqua=Stock, Green=Vegan, Red=Current Mods.
 
My pair may have had a really extreme peak, or I may just be very sensitive to it. However I'm pretty happy with the sound I am now getting, more of classic slope downward in the mid range, while maintianing HF energy.

Looks good man, nice work!

Anyplace I can buy the m560 or the m1080 in Europe?

I'm really enjoying how these sound, but I'm not sure I will keep them due to comfort reasons.
 
The headband up top puts pressure on top that is getting on my nerves over time.
 
Not a fan of the whole floating headband thing.
 
Anyone else? Pads are very comfortable, it's just the headband pressure/weight starts to bother me.
 
Edit: Don't think I can sell them after listening to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWNTb_FI8NU&t=1823s
 
Might just need to deal with the less than ideal comfort.

I can wear my HE-6 all day so the comfort on the M1060 is pretty great.  HD650 takes the cake as far as weight but I don't like the clamping issues and head foam.  Of course YMMV, etc. 

 

[TWerk]

Yeah, and I prefer my HE-500's headband too. It distributes the weight better for me.
 
But yeah, no doubt 650 is the winner in the comfort category. (Although I think the T1 might even beat the 650!)

btw for those thinking of trying multiple pads or even rolling pads, maybe this (if it fits) can help?  http://www.head-fi.org/t/839932/earpad-mounting-rings-now-available
Seems to be only $10 (http://store.hifiman.com/index.php/earpad-mounting-rings.html)

Have you actually tried this, or are you just passing along information that seemed promising?

In my experience, those Hifiman rings hinder the sound to a huge degree. Throwing mine in the trash and using Audeze-style double sided tape to hold the earpads was one of the most effective mods on my HE400

Those mounting rings won't work as the inside of the headphone has a flush surface, so only adhesive of some sort will hold the pads on.

Was simply something I noticed. Hence I said “if it fits”.

These MAY work. I like double sided tape personally, nice flat seal, it's cheap.

 

[cskippy]

I've reapplied adhesive with the scotch double sided adhesive rollers many times.  Works very well.

Are you saying you replaced the fabric under the grill on the earside with the foam from under the grill on the backside?
