I'm so happy you showed me, cause I completely misunderstood. In fact, I thought of the same solution, but couldn't find a suitable material. I'll definitely give it a try. Btw, what difference did you notice, by balancing the pro2900? I have an aftermarket cable, and I'm really appreciating the slight improvement.
sorry for the late answer..
for the difference in sound,, well first i'm a cable believer,, i believe that GOOD QUALITY cable will improve the sound more than than the effect of burn in, and there is that not every headphone will benefit from cable changing but the pro 2900 is one of the cans that benefit much from cable changing... by balancing the pro 2900 with moon audio black dragon cable, i think its not only improve the sound but also changes the sound signature a little bit,, i think the bigger cable in the inside of the cup also change the acoustic of the housing, and with the removal of the "headphone jack board" in the left cup and the 10 ohm diode that placed in the driver should contribute the change of sound..
after the mod the sound is more spacious,, more "out of head" feeling,, the depth and separation is better,, has more 3D feeling, and more "balance" (the stock sound feels a little unbalance to my left ear for me).. the mid is thicker, more intimate sounding, smoother but also clearer and more detailed,, treble is darker and less grainy but still very detail and still has its "fun" ultrasone treble in a more natural fashion. the bass sector i think is where it changes much, the bass would not hit as punchy, lost a bit of quantity and "impact" as the stock was.. on the contrary the bass is deeper, more solid and controlled, but it feels like the bass is placed in the space outside of your head,, i don't know how to put the right words to it, more effortless and airy is what i feel about the change in bass..it doesnt mean that the bass is light,, its just that it present the bass little different than the stock sound..
the recable mod i think make the pro 2900 sounds more "audiophile" and a much better all rounder but do take notes that it doesnt made it a totally different headphone,, i think its changed about 10 to15% of its original sound signature, the cable and the plug used also play an important role... but you can also built an aftermarket cable that made like the stock cable,, that way you can change the stock cable with it and you will get some improvement in sound while still retain its original sound signature and single sided form...
. Can't wait for them to arrive, but unfortunately they're back-ordered :/. Can I just pair my 900's with a Fiio e11? I want a portable amp and I know it can drive these because of their low impedance. I'm only coming from some Sony XB-500's, so I don't think I can be disappointed with these headphones or amp.
