detachable cable mod

I would second that, if it is modded, might probably be worth a try, felt damping behind the drivers would help as the initial mod.

 My first cans and to tell you the truth I didnt really like the sound. Its like listening a loud speaker next to my room. Not an audiophile btw but my ears certainly know what they like. Peace.

Good luck on the mods, Possible damping and open grilled cups mod to get an appreciable sound.

off the box i plugged these in to my ipod> e11 and i can say that yeah they sound very balanced. bass is fine for me. i just had to add 3 levels on bass on the eq setting of my rockbox. will burn them in to see if there will be any changes.

comfort: good. i used them for 4 hours last night and it didn't hurt my ears even a bit.

i don't like the very long cables though.

bass was really nice with the e11. it did rumble on some songs like nelly's just a dream.

detechable cable mod with denko cables

detechable cable mod with denko cables

I actually thought of doing this for my HD201 but the cost of modifying it to ultra with denko would cost almost the same as the headphone itself.

which means they'll sound waaaaaay better

just kidding. just use thicker copper cables
