I did it myself. I quarter modded the earpads, poked some holes at the felt covering the back of the driver(gave it more bass punch and texture), and now I'm thinking of removing the rear grille and swap it for something with a better airflow(I found a metal mesh/grille from an automotive air filter  tongue.gif ). I'm thinking of upgrading the cables to silver ones, next year, and asking someone to do it.

well u can try fiio E5 or E6 or hippo box (im not familiar with this so u need to search more regarding this amp) which is affordable and it is used to boost bass . but if u are happy what u hearing i suggest a minor tweaking on the EQ should be ok...
*
one drawback on hippo box+ is no volume control, other than that quite an aggressive amp, can do "just enough" quality to the can

After reading some reviews, kinda interested with the Fiio E11 & hippo box+. Wondering which is a better amp to pair with the SR125. I'll be looking for amp (if necessary) after new year when i'm home so for now just enjoy it as is.
*
both are totally different objects, and i happened to have both, difference according to me
1. E11 is darker than hippo box+
2. E11 battery powered, hippo usb powered, feels E11 more powerful and more features
3. E11 has more driving power than hippo box+
4. you cant bring hippo box+ as portable only transportable
5. u need backup a battery for E11, as E11 does not play when charging

Hmmm, sounded like the E11 is superior to the hippo box+.. I saw on your siggy that you are using CmoyBB now, how does that 1 fair?

i sold my hippo box + and E11 so you get the point

try with tube amp. it adds some warmness to it. for me i use maverick D1 amp+DAC with Vintage GE tube. sound so much more lush and vocals are simply great..
