1000+ Head-Fier
I just bought the parts from HiFiMAN for the mod. I bought both the headband assembly + cups for the HE-400S(silver) and the headband assembly + cups for the HE-560. I'll see what looks best, then go ahead with them.
I kind of want to turn the HE-6 into a mini Stax SR-007 MkI looking set of phones, but at the same time I'm a fan of the "wood band" on the HE-560 as well. We'll see how it goes. I also want to compare the cup material of the stock HE-6 cups vs. the new ones.
This also opens the opportunity for adding some 70 durometer sorbothane a la Stax vibration damping thread~~ Fun times ahead.
I also bought the aluminum rings that are used to hold the drivers to the cups, hopefully they bring some benefit beyond just not feeling like schiit like the plastic ones do...
