thats so cool - truly impressive 

Thanks! I'm waiting on some XB1000 pads to come in the mail now. The alcantara pads aren't giving me the deepest sub bass rumble I wanted out of these headphones, so I think going back to the pads Sony meant these drivers to be used with is the best next step.

sounds reasonable to me - let us know how it turns out

I figured I would mention it here since they get a lot of mentions in this thread: Fidelio X2 is $200 (33% off) on Amazon for today only.

Installed some XB700 pads on the DT770 with XB1000 drivers in it. SLAMMIN'.
 
Paper test:

 
Yeah, they leak sound quite a bit. Also, don't mind my messy desk/work space.

oooh I'd love to hear that PeterTek OOH an it's a WOODY is it an extreme Darth Beyer 
 
also in case you guys are in need of another bass Heavy Song this one's pretty nasty
 

 
The one made my HE X Clip with only some EQ Down! The good ole TH X00 didn't though ^^ 
 
bass on that tracks hits so hard it scares me when I'm not expecting it 
 
an yes there's a part where it's just a nice low sub bass roar...

  Anyone using here Rockboxed players? If yes, you should definitely try out those settings:

- audiophile basshead heaven guaranteed - my Merlins push out such powerful bass I wasn't thinking it was possible and my Velvets blew my mind away!

 
Thanks for spreading the word!  I now have Version 4.0 with 2 sets of 590 EQ presets. It sounds a lot better, has a lot more options, and is a lot easier to use.  If you have Rockbox firmware on your music player (which I have on my iPod Classic), you can have the best basshead experience in the world with awesome sound quality to go with it!  Here's the link:

Happy Bassheadin'....

Here's a fun song from my collection that I like crankin' up with my portable headphone system. It's probably the first hardcore basshead tune that ever came out -- recorded in 1981 and released in '82. It's "Planet Rock" by Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force. Break it down on da 808! 

 
 

 
 
My EQ preset "Cool Reduced Treble 6" sounds best with this one.

What does everyone think about the Sennheiser urbanite XL? How do they compare with the VModa LP2? And how do both play without amps, driven by a cell phone

  Finally finished giving those XB1000 drivers a new life. Those drivers really like to breathe from inside the cup and be sealed all the way or mostly sealed on the front (pad side). I used Shure Alcantara pads on these so they can breathe a little on the front of the driver but still maintain a seal somewhat. Alcantara pads are somewhere in the middle of velour and pleather for seal, leaning towards pleather traits. 
 
The cups are made of wood and painted black, nothing too special. The ports on the wood cups are 3/4" eyelets with some fine metal mesh in them for preventing anything from entering the cups. 
 
If anyone has any questions concerning the build or would like to replicate the same thing or similar I'd be more than happy to help. 
 

 

 

 

 

 
This was just a project, not something I normally do.

 
My friend, this is glorious!
 
Do we bassheads have our own godfather of headphone modding now?
 
I will serve you, oh wise master.
