Hmm, well......Dr Bian did see this is and while he did feel something, bad isn't the word I'd used to describe it. The was some consternation regarding the lack of mention that the driver cushioning appears to have been pealed off which has then exposed the glue that was there to hold said cushion in place, exposed. Why remove the cushion exposing the glue to then complain that its a mess, rip a driver unit apart, and complain its a mess....... well duh. If you tear apart stuff that is glued and sealed you are pretty much going to destroy it in the process which is why we suggest its not a great idea to do so. This is what a non torn to bits driver should look like.
Wow! I can't believe Dr. Bian saw my msg. I am a big fan.
I have seen all his interviews, even RMAF panel discussions.

I will alleviate all concerns that you have, as it seems you think I have some agenda.
I do not.
I like to mod headphone for fun. Like DIY.
1) So I realized that the r7dx can be opened up , and I did to see if pads can be replaced or glued in etc.
2) I realized it can be made open back if i want. Cool. Nice.
3) I have lot of spare parts, so I thought maybe will some spare part fit. Yes. Wood Cup with little modification.
So I was like this is awesome. A new creation to share with my headphone friends.
But then. I realize after testing, there is some imbalance. And I was thinking about it for a long time. Tried different damping, and mod.
But then I saw the driver. The magnet hole is very funny shape, and not a circle on one of them.
Also the venting circle on one driver look like it have some burrs.
Then I knew now it is no more use, so I am curious.
I wanted to know if the membrane is stiff with the topology technology.
I read much of topology technology and the different shape coating. So I open it up to poke it, and touch it with my finger , so I can feel it. I have done this before with many driver to see how stiff it is.
So.. in conclusion I am just a regular DIY'er who is a bit disappointed since I had to do a lot of work and time to make it wood cup r7dx.
Here is proof I have DIY other headphone, and look at drivers.
So you can see finally I did same to the r7dx
So, I'm happy Dr. Bian saw my msg. And I understand he would question why I would do something like open up a headphone, but I hope that satisfies and eliminates your concerns that I have some agenda. And for the record, the magnet was 100% distorted and a QC issue.
it is common for people on this website to swap pads, and open up to look at the driver out of curiosity.
And also the cushion is held in with clips, not glue. It can be taken off and put back on easily.
And the cups are modular and come apart with screws. There is no "tearing apart" Just unclip pads, and use screwdriver to remove the many screw.
So I did not make that hole like that.
I don't even want a replacement, just give me two r10 cups
