This is my first post here, so be gentle
I ordered a pair of Sony MDR-XB500's a 2 weeks ago, and they just came in 3 days ago. I heard lots of reviews of how the bass was huge, and there was lots of it, and that it's one of the best bass headphones you can buy. Thing is, mine have very little bass. You can only really feel the bass if you turn the volume up to full blast, and then it starts to hurt your ears because everything else is too loud.
So I found an article about modifying them here

and a topic here:

Would this mod improve the bass in any way? I don't want to take my headphones apart unless I know the outcome of doing it.
Thanks!
