I think in this case these would just be band-aids on a bullet wound. There's a serious synergy problem here and I don't think it's anything to do with the headphones themselves.

True.

We experimented with a lot of fabrics/materials, and the right one that has suitable parameters is a synthetic, 1-2 mm thick, material, something like "artificial wool" or thin felt/plush. The idea is that it has to dampen frequencies above ca. 8kHz. You can experiment with diffrents fabrics. Too dense materials will kill highs, while the stiff or too dense ones will attenuate the bass. For best, verified results you can order our material (15 euros).

I have never gotten around to trying this or even answering the guy. What a pity...

I have doubts about that mod.. Once upon a time I removed the orig. felt-like fabric and.......trust me - you wouldn't like it. .....now, do alot of testing on various pieces, or buy theirs @ 15 Euros without personally knowing someone who bought it and used it and personally recommended it? Nah. No way as far as I'm concerned.
