Sennheiser HD660 (I have an old version) are great headphones that can be plugged into a regular 3.5mm output and you can enjoy great sound. They just have a great sound signature that is suitable for most genres of music. I like them better than the HD600 and HD650. But my HD540s give me a...

Unfortunately, what you see here is a custom headphone. I had Reference I and Reference Gold, in which I broke the wiring on one of the drivers. So I decided to make my Reference I 600Ohm with the buffle and felt pads from the Gold. The standard Reference I buffle has a stiffer material and does...

Thanks for the advice! Yes, I tested the headphones without any foam at all and I hear even more high frequencies. I tried to restore all the foam as I imagine it to be judging by the way it disintegrated and the way it was in the Gold headphones. I have a dense acoustic fabric on the back and...

Hi Trollchu. I sometimes use my HD540 ref I with a tube OTL amplifier, which is a high-quality copy (not a Chinese one) of the Darkvoice 336 with unused soviet tubes that was once unboxed for the first time. This amplifier gives you more sound compression (imagine that you're pressing the...

Thank you very much for your answer! I will order a pair to try. I don't use foam in front of the drivers at all - only a very thin cloth. To my ears, anything that covers the center of the driver kills all the magic of the sound.

Can someone give me a link to these wang_yifei pads? I seem to have bought them from this seller, but they turned out to be thick, bigger than the diameter of the headphone cups and sounded terrible. Maybe I ordered something wrong? In my opinion, pads cannot be made of leatherette, but only of...

I tried pads with DT990 and in my opinion they don't fit and make the sound like with closed headphones, adding bass, but reducing the level of midrange. All the magic of the HD540 sound is lost. But I am now using these pads from 990, but completely redesigned. In my opinion, the inside of the...

I just bought this thing on Amazon. It softens this pad and fits perfectly. Highly recommend. My headband is clean, but it's very hard and unpleasant to the touch.

Thank you all for your advice. It seems like I've made a deal to buy a driver. One more question. Can anyone take photos of the velor pads on the Gold from both sides, which are quite rare? It was mentioned earlier in this thread that they sound the best. Is it possible to somehow repeat their...

Hello, friends. When I was doing the service, I broke this thin wire near the HD540 Gold driver. And when I tried to solder at the very base of it, I made it even worse, until I broke it to zero. During the assembly, the engineers put the wires between the felt screen and the foam for some...

Thank you all for your advice! Mine seems to have transparent plastic on the inside. But I can't understand why the sound is so deaf. There is a lot of bass and very detailed highs (the highest range). But there is something missing between the midrange and the treble. It sounds as if there is a...

Thank you for your reply Plieb! I bought them from audiosanctuary.co.uk and these are definitely official pads. But different countries may have a slightly different stock in stores.

Guys, please help me to find original thick pads for HD660. I've already bought original pads, paid about £35, and these pads wear out after just a few weeks. One side gets smaller than the other, they get softer. For that price, I expected something of higher quality. I know that the original...

I've been experimenting with my 540 II headphones for a long time now. And I also tried inserting a disc the same size as the baffle without covering the speaker itself. The driver itself was completely open. To my ears, this adds to the midrange but reduces the clarity of the sound. Am I right...

Thanks for the link! Bought 100mm for £0.59. Do you think they will be the same?

Now I will tell you a big secret. I bought the HD660 out of curiosity and I was not impressed at all by the sound from these headphones. Compared to my favorite HD580, there was too much midrange and not enough treble, the sound is very vague. And then I installed the driver from the HD660 into...

I have an original copper cable from the 540 II that is soldered to a balance jack and connected to the Moondrop Dawn. I will follow your progress:) Do you like the 540 II more?

The eary versions of 580 and 600 are better and more like the 540. When they changed the buffle on metal (around 2004-2005 I think) they killed all the midrange, but added some bass. I had the metal 600 and sold it. I think I had these pads. They sounded very dull and had a very powerful bass...

I also have my lovely HD540 II headphones with non-original DT990 pads and these headphones sound really good. But these pads don't fit so well with the HD540 600 ohms: there's a lack of midranges. All I want is to add a midrange to what I have on the HD540 600ohm. These 2 models of headphones...

I cut through one thick circle of foam with a sharp scalpel-type knife. I'll try to make a second neater version for next weekend. Thanks again! Which pads do you like the most that I can buy online? I like the sound signature of the Sennheiser HD580 (paper buffle version) the most. The HD540...

Thanks for the advice! Do you think if I glue this ribbon on both sides, it will do something? To make the rings solid. Because I have two rings of foam (inner and outer) floating on top of each other, and they do not fit tightly. Also, the diameter of the pads is slightly smaller, as can be...

Hi. Today I tried to restore the original HD540 pads. Replaced foam with a similar, but new. I cut it in half and put this silk ribbon in the way as in the original pads. Stitch this white circle with thread outside and inside. And after all there is no bass at all. Just awful. There are medium...

If it's not difficult for you, can share the link where I can buy these pads? https://www.amazon.co.uk/DT990-DT770-Ear-Pads-beyerdynamic-Black/dp/B09H7698DV/ I bought these and they fit perfectly on the plastic ring from the native pads. The quality is good, but I don't yet know how they affect...

I don't have any ideas yet other than to try different pads from byerdynamic. They are simply the same size and produced. Has anyone compared pads from DT990 and DT770? Or maybe DT1990? Also, these different pads have a different number of perforation holes on the inside. How do they affect the...

Welcome me, I'm in the club. I bought the 600 Ohm version and I just can't believe that such sound quality still exists. The sound is so clear and so realistic! Before that, I had HD580s with a paper baffle, which sounded great, but they are far from the HD540s. And the stereo effect is much...
