I have quite some IEM, want to try open/closed headphones.

oh really.....ill do more reserch in the net..thanks

WHoever is thinking of getting HD 595, drop that idea. Settle for HD 555. Just do the foam removal mod, and voila! There's your cheap-a** HD 595..

Can I knw why? more clarification please...

Can anyone recommend me an earphone for a budget of rm200-300?

I like to listen to R&B's Instrumentals , country and club hitz songs..

The bass I like it to be solid but not at the cost of clarity.... please advice a good one

Look back few pages lo. Like the MV SP1,SM PL50 or JBL reference.

i was looknig at altec lansing in-ear earphones...MHP306AP... i wonder wat all the sifus here think of the product???

then you do the same for a 595....'


personally i hate that mod, it makes the headphone slightly brighter but also loses what i love about senns.

Er..You can't do the same for HD595 cuz it doesn't have that foam I guess? I'm not too sure...Well, everyone's got their own personal taste...

Ijust love my HD555..hahah..

there are foams on the 595 lar bro, yea personal taste. i took the foams of my senns out and it sounded too similar to my grado, needless to say i thought it was pointless. why change the qualities of one to sound like the other, when i wanted them to be stark contrasts?

Oh, so you're saying HD 555 foam removal -> HD 595..

And

HD 595 foam removal -> Grado? haha..SOrry, no meant to offend, but just thought it was interesting One man's meat is another's poison. hahah..

owh no, i dont have a 595 lol or a 555 for that matter. im saying that 595's do have foams too, thus if improvements can be made on a 555 by a foam mod; a 595 can be treated the same.


well when i took of my hd650 foams, it was brighter and had less trable roll off. the treble sharpness also changed the feel of the music, in live settings treble doesnt travel that well thus the soundstage felt a little compressed. its no grado but reminds me of a grado, which i kinda felt wrong since i already had a grado.

Oh...Haha..I thought of that too, well, I guess the rational answer here would be the same mod doesn't work the same for every headphone? haha..

You can't apply the same mod on every headphone isn't it? Or maybe you can, but the effect is not guaranteed to be the same..

I did Kramer mod on my KSC75...Wow, it really sounds so much better..hahah...Sorry to digress

how sounds is define a good soundstage? I mean many people have own taste on sound and headphones preferences.

well its a senn only mod, you cant do it on a grado for example. then again there are a lot of people who love this mod, sp90 i think uses it for all his senns.

he recommend me it but i didnt like it

simple put sound stage the instruments sound further, its relatively hard to hear it on IEM's but when you compare say a grado and a senn or an AKG the differences are there. however it depends on you to see, if you really need the perfect everything then a single headphone wont do lol

Yeah, sep90 recommended that to me too..Then I went headfi and this senior member told me to do the same. He did so many mods to his HD 555 that it doesn't even qualify as HD 555 anymore I think. He did the soundstage mod, foam removal, recable, and some other stuff..Pretty fascinating though, to say the least..

what the best closed headphone for the price under rm 300 ? im gonna use it with my laptop. clarity > bass. thanks.

Please recommend me a headphone ... mostly for music listening ( lastest Hitz music ) and movie .... gaming less...prefer cover whole ears with soft good cushion and outer noise cancelation ....but my budget about Rm200~Rm220... thank ...
