Cute my man, these somics has longgggggggg passed their heyday. They are so last month and you know how fast this Discovery thread goes. They have had their day in the limelight and they are what they are, budget-fi stuff that is good at the $50ish level, but there are much better sounding gear at the $100 level these days. It's time to let go of them and move on, cuz even cash might have already done so since he haven't been talking about them for some time now.
It's great that you are able to mod them to your liking and thanks for sharing, not sure about others but i am no longer interested in them. Sorry to be so blunt but that's how i feel anyways.............................
Guys, I just got a pair of Hifiman HE-400 velour pads in the mail today......$16 shipped, you gotta try these on the Somic's! The soundstage has really expanded, and the sound has balanced out perfectly neutral. I can not believe what a beautiful sound I am getting, but consider I also modded wire/cable. The velour pads fit around ear, are much cooler and more comfortable than the 840 pads, HM5 pads, M50 pads, and stock pads. I'm hooked.....bought these for the MH463's that I have on order, but I will surely be ordering a couple more pair of the velours. The fit a little loose, but they stay on. I have some O rings I am going to try later to see if they will fit a little more secure. Can't believe I am getting bigger soundstage, better imaging, and more detail......thought I maxxed out on that with the HM5 and 840 pads. Definately more details in the highs, and better layering all round, bass slightly tighter good quality and quantity!
