I did the mod where you remove the foam on top of the "element" as senn calls it.

I gave it a listen, and I can't say I'm not impressed.., but I feel like I should put them back, because I don't want dust and dirt to get in there and damage them somehow.

Can anyone recommend anything to replace the cloth with? what is lan using?

FYI, I got halfway through removing the tags so they didn't take up so much space when I noticed they have a .txt extension >_>. I guess I'll leave them.

Thanks

Well I just opened my HD580. I only replaced the left side so I could compare. I also here some improvement without that pad. Seems like there was a bit less overwhelming bass which was good and the highs were better. I only listened to it for a few minutes though through my MD player as a DAC. Pardon the dust in the following pics. I havn't used these things in a while

Ok so the replacement material looks "ill" but it's thinner than paper. I usually use it for clothing designs.

pad_comparision.txt

It's much thinner than the stock pad. This camera doesn't do macro well so the pic is a little blurry.

pad_inserted.txt

It's in. Looks weird but um.. it's all about the sound right?

I guess I'll be spending more time w/ my HD580 tonight.
