The Low Volta Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 as the title says... for the review (and comparison to the Sennheiser PX100 see here)sometimes headphones are too beautiful for words... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekdroid Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 nice pics!Is the silver bit on the side actually metal or painted plastic? And what is it meant to be anyway? Just for aesthetics? Nice reflection of cam on books in one of the shots! Nice-lookin' phones. Gorgeous when compared to Sennheiser's PX100/PMX100 Seems like a decent choice for closed phones/high noise environments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted September 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 the shiny bit feels colder than the rest, but I still guess it is painted plastic. It is a slightly lifted cap over a hole in the black eggo cover which gives the impression of half-closed phones, but there is a plastic film underneath so they really are closed (but there is a mod to gain bass which involves making a pea-sized hole in the plastic film after popping the cap off and putting the cap back on making them half-closed after all)well spotted tekdroid, but they are DVD's and the pinkish thing in the background is me indeed... I prefer these over the PX100! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streaml1ne Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Have you performed the bass mod yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted September 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 no, I'm still looking for a soldering iron I will though, but I do not want to ruin anything and as everyone that has done it used a soldering iron, I do not dare to change a winning method, so I'll keep looking for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 the diaphragm is there to maintain a closed phone yet allow you to cross the road safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 over at head-fi, a couple of users have tried it and didn't really notice too much loss in isolation. Also the mod is reversible (one can always tape the little hole again)... so as soon as I get hold of a soldering iron I'll check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
