Finally replaced my old pair! Forgot how great these sound. First mod, uhu tac. The result is tighter bass, smoother mids and less sibilance. Noticing a slight channel imbalance on the right cup. Maybe i can move the putty around to see if its effected by my application Or maybe im over analyzing? Might be overthinking it.
Edit: my driver was screwed back in upside down which explains things.
Anyone here using these with creative x7 if so is it strong enough⊠If not should I hook these up to my inuke dsp3000? Oh what is the best way to increase the Soundstage I got the zmf pads coming anything else?
Update got them umm yeah X7 can drive them switching it to high gain but still limited volume does nothing passed 40% maybe they will get easier to drive over time , the stock head band really isnât bad. Loving these better than the focal elegia. Havenât tried them gaming yet.
It is WILD how different pads change this headphone, I likely report this as news to nobody here.
Dekoni Suedes for Shure SRH vs Shure 1540âs.
Suedes turned this into one of the strangest sounding headphones Iâve ever listened too.
Just copy-pasting from my Moon 100D review. It could help some if their T50RPs sound like âexploded speakersâ with higher-end DACs.
I got it. This is why it doesnât pair perfectly with T50RPs âsealedâ by leather or leather-like pads. Lows are so powerful and thick, sealed planar closed-backs try to push too much air at too many frequencies and can sound âlike exploded speakersâ. Iâm using the Shure 1540 pads right now, not a problem at all. At the price of more sibilance but also way more clarity.
Be aware Iâve done this to remove treble and sibilance already.
As I said in my review above (more than three years ago!), Fostex T50RPâs analytical-ness can make em sound thin, even mechanical. I still agree with that. But I forgot to mention here that I got a Class A headphone amp last year and it changed everything. When you pair fast planars with a smooth Class A amplifier, IMO, it counter-balances, and therfore you get the best of both worlds: Detailed naturalness.
My T50RPâs are still rockinâ. Still here to stay. Still the best headphones I got to enjoy both detailed and powerful drum kicks in energetic music.
