Put on some brainwavz pleather and it turned the mt220 into a bass head can. And velour makes the bass disappear. Maybe I should try a hybrid.

Or just leave with standard pads, they're designed to use them you knowjust stuff the back side for personal preference and off you go

The pleather HM5 pads are one of the most popular choices for the JVC HA-SZ2000, which is regarded as the ultimate basshead headphone. If you *really* want to hear some crazy bass, try the JVC HA-M55X pads, if they fit. The NVX XPT100 pads are similar to the pleather HM5 pads, but I believe they're softer and more luxurious, so maybe they would give you a good compromise or at least be interesting. Like I mentioned, there is a normal and angled version.

I decided to buy the MT220, but then after further listening at home i decided they need a mod, but i don't know how to mod them. I think the ear needs to sit maybe 5mm further away from the diaphragm, that seems to fix things, so i hope someone out there will suggest to Yamaha that they offer an accessory ear pad or new modified replacement for sale. With the ear so close to the diaphragm it's causing the bass to sound a tad boomy and it also overbears the lower-mids, but pulling the ear-cups slightly away fixes the problem and then they sound just right.

Ok i'll try that. I'm also of the opinion that this is a slightly warm-sounding headphone. Would you agree? It's definitely not neutral. I've got another headphone which sounds neutral, and an A/B clearly shows the warmth of the MT220.
tried on my stockpads with my corky-variant of the "sorbo mod".....
after an hour, i had to stuff some cotton gauze on the backend of the pad for more coherence.
( i guess my corkchops are too thin )
Maybe then just fry them up!
Yum - salty rashers of bacon!
What a coincidence. My roommate told me yesterday that she is allergic to bacon. XD
(Oh, and I had Hot Pockets with bacon in them too. ...And I'm about to eat a breakfast burrito with bacon in it. I love bacon!!)
