SExy0.
x=Model Class
y=Number of drivers
EX: Shure SE420, x=4, y=2, Thus, the headphone is in the 4th model class, and contains two drivers.

Here you go!! Compared to a stock phone, this mod makes them brighter and increases upper mids and treble, so its no longer overwhelmed by the bass. If you already find the FX33 too bright or harsh, you may not like this mod. If you find the FX33 muddy, bass-bloated or congested this might be a...
