How would that work with these headphones? Each driver has wires coming from them...

I recently got these, i ordered some when i realized that i lost my iems; along with when i ordered my HA-500s. Needless to say these came in earlier than the HA-500s(importing). I broke these in while waiting for my HA-500s to arrive from japan and i have to say these IEMS gave me faith in IEMs, i never considered paying more than 50+$ on iems because i am not a major fan of them from a comfort point but they do stay in when i am Skateboarding and i dont have to worry about breaking them at their price point. Man o man do they exceed everything i was expecting them to do so i went here to see if there was a thread and lone and behold they are here...I couldnt be happier with what JVC is doing to the Headphone Game and the approach they are taking is flawless IMO they are out there and the competition better fell the heat. The HA-500s are exceptional as well Grade A+ products now all i have to do is make sure all my audio files are tip top.

FX-40s, i got them for 18$ i heard they were budget priced but "big money" sound. I had Skull Candy cheapy iems because i got a "Christmas wishlist" giftcard from a website(CCS) and i had like 15ish $ left over from the Giftcard so i popped in those budget iems...I broke them snowboarding so i saw these FX-40s and since they were shipped domestically they arrived in a couple days...(vs the 4 weeks the HA-S500s which was to be expected) i also picked up some Fx-101s for my sister and i was also surprised at how they performed at the price point since shes a teen i figured she would appreciate some bassy iems for her music tastes.

Anybody happen to know if there's been a review/comparison between these and the HA-S680's? I'm really leaning towards these unless the benefit from the 680's are really that great. 
 
Also wanted to know if an ipod is strong enough to drive these as that's my main device for listening.

You would be better off asking that question in the S680 thread, and yes your iPod has enough power to drive the S500's.

The S500s have been in my collection almost since they were available. They put a halt in my HP purchases since they did everything so well cept the stage. The funny thing is that these are <$50 "PORTABLES". the only other HP I've heard that was close was a Philips that still cost more but wasn't quite as detailed. I own a few other full sized HPs that are better in some regards but still cost way more than the 500s. The 500s are still some of the best sounds for the money. Can anyone make a better <$50 suggestion?

Hey guys,
 
What do I need to do to mod my S500's so I can put the HM5 Pads on them? Can't seem to find the answer so I figured someone here would know :wink: 
 
 
Thanks,

Any ideas where I can get some of the rubber O rings?? 
 
Would these work being 1/2 inch thick or should I shoot for something not so thick?
