If you want even more insane detail on my mod. impressions check out my blog.
If you're not so sure about cutting into your 'phones, just open the cans up and gently pull the rectangular foam piece from the inside of each capsule. That alone will turn it into a 595, and accounts for the lion's share of the added transparency of the soundstage mod, IMHO. The "foam mod." can be done without cutting into your headphones, just make sure you don't put undue stress on the driver frame, and leave the back of the driver open. I had pretty good results with both mattress pad foam and polarfleece. I settled on the polarfleece because it didn't press into the back of the driver frame as much, and it looked better.
