I'm sure a lot of people will try to mod these to alleviate some of the downfalls, but a lot of people also buy headphones without the intention of ever modding them. I am personally in that camp. I believe a headphone should perform well right out of the box, especially if it is targeted at the "audiophile" crowd. I hope the links you shared help out some of the other readers that are holding onto these though!

The two mods i've done are firstly the one where you remove the little sticker on the back of the driver. The second fix is to layer a thin sound inulator in the earcup. this could be toilet paper or anything like that.<br /><br />After these two things done. You willl have a headset with amazing soundstage, controlled highs, and punctual base. I hope you and others see this and return your reactions.<br /><br />links to the the mod guides.<br />http://www.head-fi.org/products/massdrop-x-hifiman-he350/reviews/15914 (towards the bottom)<br />https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-hifiman-he-350/talk/530648<br /><br />You could always put some new pads on, would alter the highs in some ways, relative to the earcups you choose.<br /><br />thanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10146513800218608942noreply@blogger.com
