I really enjoy my recabled D2K, but boy after wearing it for 10 minutes my ears start sweating. Wish there is a pair of reference headphones which don't make my ears sweat.
 
On the other hand, my EXK is so comfy, non intrusive and almost weightless. I am so used to its comfort I can't take other phones now, plus the EXK sounds like a pair of headphone.

  Is it able to run balanced? Since the input jack is 3.5mm? 

Fraggler and I replaced the built-in jack with a balanced TRRS jack. So yes, it's fully balanced.

did you re-wire the connection between one cup to the other?

Yup. Also had to get rid of the extra plastic because the trrs plug was a bit taller. Not too bad though. Fraggler really knows what he's doing.

How does the balanced change the sound?

BTW, your bottles seem running low.  :)


It sounds FANTASTIC. I haven't heard an on-ear stage like this before. It's night and day.

As far as my bottles go...I'm refreshing those this weekend :)

it looks like the stock cable from one cup to the other

All the mods were strictly internal. We tried to make it as stock as possible.
