look at post 1061.... silverstone acoustic foam in cups...dynamat on back of driver and on front of cups... and removed mesh of one stock pad, cut it in half and stuffed it in the back half of ws55 pads (like the foam mod or stuffing mod) so the drivers are angled towards you.

That's OK. I don't think you missed anything that great.

In my experience mod like that usually kill the soundstage, especially on phone with small cups like S400, even the slightest cotton could have adverse effect on soundstage, how's yours?

 

[TekeRugburn]

Theres no cotton in it.  
 
Cotton or polyfilling or stuffing is used to increase treble by "confusing the speaker" that there is more space than there really is.  Filling/stuffing is hard to get down as theres so many different materials people use and the amount they use.  Most of the time people use too much and essentially just becomes dampening material.  
 
Foam/felt/other absorbant material is used to absorb reverb/back waves coming from the driver aka dampening.
 
Two totally different things

 

[laon]

Misworded it, I've tried lots of filling, cotton, foam, tack it and other I don't remember much now. They're all end up stiffing the sound stage one way or another, then again, stock pad or even only slightly bigger pad S400 don't really have much to offer in that department so maybe the impact isn't as bad.

 

[TekeRugburn]

whoa.... so after burning the s400's in for how many days straight.  The bass impact vastly improved....no bloated bass but good tight punch.

does the s500 look any dif to the s400?

 

[sodiumnitrate]

Would you say that these isolate the sound well? Sort of like the Sennheiser PX200 II are supposed to? I'm looking for headphones that I can wear on the bus, or in loud places in school.

I also need an answer for this.

Nope, they're worse than most on ears for isolation (except for open on ear like grado for obvious reason) since they don't clamp well at all.
