3) Modding can somewhat fix the slight nasal tonality with vocals, and improve soundstaging ever so slightly. But I have also found that making bass tighter (more accurate) would also mean a decreased bass quantity. This makes sense because the extra bass was just excess ringing. But still, this would be a downside for some, so I thought I'd mention it. The upside to this is that vocals are more forward, yet not necessarily shouty or sibilant, and there is more clarity without adding more treble.
Well, me and my big mouth. I found out how to do it without decreasing bass after all.
Now this headphone just flat out sounds like a better LFF Enigma to me (far less sibilance).
I'll see if I can extract any extra treble by doing any reflection trick with the driver enclosure before releasing the mods.
This headphone honestly sounds... ludicrous after modding. I can't even believe what I'm hearing! It's probably 80% of my HE-560 already, and that extra 20% is for soundstaging and treble clarity, but... really, who am I kidding? This thing is easily less than 14 times the cost of my whole HE-560 setup. And it's WIRELESS!
In fact, talking about which, I have gotten as far as across the street, with 4-5 walls between me and my phone, and the sound coming across from an internet streaming radio is still clean, clear, and uninterrupted.
