Ok so I finally got the clears after years of messing with the portas and the 75s, probably the best from the 3 stock but I still like both the other ones with band mod and yaxi pads a bit more, but yeah anyway I tried the grado pad mod and hated it, they’re just scratchier and bulkier, soundstage improves but I actually find them more uncomfortable.
Anyway besides that I got an idea to make them over ears and just put some he400i pads I had around, they’re not actually mounted, just clamp attached between the headphones and my head, works better than expected, has no one made a 3d printed thing to attach regular pads to these? Works way better than it should, I think I saw a grado mod a while ago, but just some kind of disc for mounting any pad would be awesome…
Idk they’re some chinese brand, is there a specific recommendation for those?
Still think it’s probably better to just put yaxis on them so I can take them outside without looking like a fool lol
Just finished up another mod of these. Purple Yaxi pads and new MMCX connectors + the wire from my Tin t2 IEMs. I enjoy the sound of this and the ultra mod equally but the comfort of the Yaxi pads is top notch.
This is the most comfortable I got them and they don’t look as ridiculous as the “ultra” mod.
Still on ears but they’re way larger than even yaxi, and the edge of the pads is kinda beveled, almost makes them over ear, not bad at all.
Sounds closer to yaxi or stock than the ultra mod, I actually prefer it that way cause ultra makes them too bright imo, it’s more of a comfort mod than a sound one, but I think they do sound a bit less congested.
Do you mind posting more images of your new cushions, and how they attach to your KPH30is?
I’m just confused, because there is foam inside the cushion, but the images for the amazon link show a hollow cushion. Like, is this layered with stock foam, or the Yaxi Pads?
Same as the ultra mod, I have some generic porta pro foams below (cause I ripped the stock pads when trying the yaxis), and couldn’t fit them over the yaxis, but the stock pads should work the same, they don’t even need the cable cut-out tbh but I did it anyway.
I managed to get some more air and tighten up the bass pretty well. Not bad for $25 not bad at all.
