"STUNNING" tweak for the Senn HD280 Headphones...

I saw this on Head-Fi, and thought that you guys who think the HD280's might not have enough bass might want to check out this tweak...

Anyone here tried it yet?

yeah theres a huge improvement. it doesnt sound so cupped... so the sound is much more roomy.

much much better... getting close to the sound that i want in a headphone. still not anything close to my etys but hey.. what else is? : P

but yeah.. definitely recommended by me hehe

i will post pics up later

how the fuck do u get the earpads off???

Posted by DjJade on Apr-13-2004 13:02:

they pull right off.. just stick your thumb under the padding...between the pleather and the cloth part that is against the driver cover...push out towards the edges and the cover should come off the edge

I just performed this mod, can't really tell any differences yet..

EDIT: I noticed the highs were alot cleaner and not as harsh.. Bass wise. can't really tell

Posted by DjJade on Apr-15-2004 03:44:

try comparing it to an unmodded one... the difference is quite large. so large infact that i didnt like the highs boosted that much. so i literally put a sock in it. i cut out a layer of an old sock and put it between the driver and the stickytac to tone down the high frequencies.

Posted by vhx1 on Apr-15-2004 03:46:

ya it definitely cleans up the highs

Do you think the eveness of the spread of the putty is gonna affect the sonic quality of the phone?

Posted by DjJade on Apr-15-2004 03:53:

well i think the purpose of this puddy is to tone down the resonance thats going on inside the headphone behind the driver so yes the amout of air in it and the shape should make a difference, as it does in any kind of enclosure
