How do you know something is crappy before trying it? How do you know your cans aren't crappy without a point of reference? I guess you have the gaming headsets to compare to.

you wont stop. think about the sundara which many want to try out due to the similarities....

I've literally never heard of the hd700s.

Yes the best mod is to plug them into a tube amp....

Yes, but if thats what you want just use EQ!

Modding the headphone to change FR is an ass backwards way of changing tonality. EQ can accomplish more, whilst being less of a hassle.

I can't see these anymore without thinking "Hur-Dur Six-hungeoes from old mate Senny".

I'm curious how these would compare to the moondrop aria snow editions.

And I gave you the answer, you just didn’t like it?

Don't want to open my DT880 again to double-check, but I read about a bunch of dampening material on the driver inside that the DT990 didn't have.

I don't specifically recall if I removed any white padding, but I did remove a lot of those dampening materials. I felt the DT880 sounded overly dampened to get its more neutral tonality. Similar to how Dan Clark's Aeon Flow can tame the treble with the felt filters, but it crushes detail in the process.

Removing the dampening materials made it sound in-between a DT880 and 990. Not quite as bright as the 990 and a bit more linear bass response than the 990's big midbass hump. Less "soft-sounding" than the 880.

However, I didn't feel like the soundstage changed a whole lot, not as big as the 990.

where did you buy the 700? I looked once into buying one but didn‘t find a place sell them.

I have the Q30 and they are very enjoyable with AutoEq , they cost 60 euros but I wouldn't pay so much for a Anker headphone considering you can buy a HD560s refurbished for less than that or the momentum 3 for almost the same price , also sennheiser refurbished

When I've bought SR80e just out of curiosity they were alright. Not the best but pretty decent for the price. Have their own pros and cons and very fun sounding.

I sold them and it appears they were the only headphones I regret selling. I was missing them so much so I sold my Sundaras to buy SR325x and I love them.

They are not ideal, not neutral by any means but they're the only headphones which make me dance every time I am listening to it. They're so energetic, engaging and lively sounding so I can forgive them any imperfections.

I have the 660s and never tried the 600's. EQ'd the 660s and it was a wow for me, but was looking for something a little bit more. Went to the 800s. EQ'd em and swapped out the headband cushion for something more comfortable and now I'm never looking back. I'll prob get the 64audio A12t as my first and only IEM if I ever jump into that market. Congrats on your endgame.

No the tip is not detachable as it serves as the left channel. It has been broken off. You have to replace the connector.

Great review. Can I bother you for a recommendation? I like electronic music and am in the market for a "fun" or "exciting" headphone that has excellent sub-bass (20hz-120hz). What would you recommend?

I'm wondering why people keeps saying tws momentum 3 is better :|

I said it a decade ago with the 650s and it's still my endgame. you don't need to shill for every new headphone, especially since half of the new headphones won't last a fraction as long as something like the hd 600.

Removing padding from the drivers would change sound signature, no?

Toilet paper mod was a useful one too lol.

Where did you get that nonsense?

The only mod you should do to the 880 is a removable cable mod.

I've had HD800S and Utopias and still came back for the HD600. The only headphone I want to try that might replace it for me is the R70X. I've used the ADX5000 and they were so light and comfortable.

Nah, it's always "the 60 is good, but if you can, save up a bit for the the 80" or "the 325 is brilliant, but you will get 90% of the sound, but 1/4 the price from the 60"
