It looks like there are all sorts of DT770, some open, I just googled. Well then, if needed, try and identify the holes they've already provided in the cup and/or baffle and play with those too. Blu tack or something like that works. BTW, Digikey sells them as one piece, so for a pair you order...

I'm not sure on the kind of advice you are after. I haven't played with that driver and never listened to a dt770. Digikey got the photo wrong but that's OK. The driver is suitable for both open (like the DT770) and closed design. The DT770 being open you probably don't need to do much, if...

I tried these ones, and I like them: https://www.digikey.co.nz/products/en?keywords=%E2%80%8EHPD-40N16PET00-32-ND%E2%80%8E I have Grado 325e and other than using these drivers in a closed design, I didn't feel they are inferior in any way, that I could pick up, to the Grados. It appears that...

If you are already handy with the soldering iron, I assume you are also comfortable with connectors, screwdrivers and the likes. If so, just replace the entire cable. It is relatively easy and it is worth it. I have just taken them apart, again, because I want to try to install a 3.5mm socket...

First of, on removing the driver: it is not glued. They used some sort of rubbery-plasicky stuff which can be very easily removed. Start by scratching it a little with a small screwdriver and once you have something to pull off, it will come out in no time. And you'll end up with a nice, clean...

Hi guys, I haven't contributed to this thread in a long time but these Panasonic headphones remain one of my favorites. What I'd like to suggest to you is to try a smart EQ. What I mean by smart is something which does some of the work for you. If, for example, you own a Samsung Galaxy phone...

Of course I have a better answer :ksc75smile:

PM me. I might have something for you.

What hardware do you use for playback? Sorry, I am not familiar with roon and jriver, but I imagine they have apps for many platforms.

Another factor, I think, is the lack of structure in this industry, and that would be hard to achieve, considering the very many variables still in play in audio. Let's compare the audio industry with the car industry which, while still varied enough, is a lot more mature: The more expensive...

Hi everyone, I am not sure if you're aware of this: http://www.headfonia.com/picture-sunday-beautiful-audios-grado-headband-and-earpad-mods/. Still, I understand that everyone has their own preferences. As for comfort, especially the ears touching things, of course again, everyone will be...

Hey again Elgrindio, Yesterday I discovered a new toy and I thought you might enjoy playing with it too: http://www.claessonedwards.com/home-audio/breakaway-audio-enhancer. Free full trial for a month. It appears that it lets you adjust a few characteristics of a compressor and you can see the...

Hi everyone, Let me start with an observation: (there was supposed to be a photo with the forums' threads and views here, but it didn't upload - have a look for yourselves) We are overpowered by far by those interested in (only) hardware. I realize, of course, that some threads on the other...

Hi Elgrindio, In case you're not aware, this website (http://dr.loudness-war.info/) has quite a lot of CDs with their DR levels. Based on this I went to my local library and borrowed a few in order to test (listen) and learn, and indeed, it is quite easy to hear the differences. Once you know...

Hey bigshot, for a start, I absolutely agree with the points you made in your signature. Actually only today I added a few similar pointers in mine. Regarding listening instead of looking at numbers, I think it would be worth adding some context - I hope you'll agree: knowing "how" to listen...

Hi everyone, I also looked for such a thing: speakers and headphones that sound good at low volume levels. In all honesty, I actually gave up looking a while ago since everything I listened to had to be pushed up so that I understood the bass line, the lyrics, and all the rest - I thought it is...

Oh, the joys of only words! Only then one realizes how critical body language is in communication. I appreciate your reply. I didn't take it in a bad way because, as I said, I am very well aware of how subjective this whole thing is. And also, because I know most folks on this forum are decent...

Hi everyone, I started this beautifulaudio.biz in order to fix the comfort issue for Grado headphones - but I believe I fixed a lot more than that, and I'm now looking for those who have the problem. Here is an example: Please have a careful read - I know it's a lot, and if any questions...

Hi everyone, As Grado people, I thought you might be interested in what I do, and here's an example: Lots of info on beautifulaudio.biz Any questions, ask. Cheers

Hi everyone, As Grado people I thought you might be interested in what I do: You'll find quite a bit of info on beautifulaudio.biz There is a lot to read because, I believe, it is quite a different solution than what's out there. And since the sound is your main priority, please understand...

Hi everyone, Still waiting for my company's login to be approved, but in the meantime I thought I'd start letting Grado fans about my little venture beautifulaudio.biz Here is a sample photo: Any questions, ask. Cheers

Hi Wendy, if you're interested in earpads and headbands I just started www.beautifulaudio.biz

I understand your reluctance. I was the same when I had my previous 225. I tried a few things inspired by others in forums like this one and indeed, the sound was compromised. And of course Grado will have done their R&D, but, like with everything, they will have chosen a compromise. It goes...

It's not possible. I added an announcement bar on top of the page.
