TBH I’ve needed up using EQ on the mids, doesn’t take much but makes a huge difference

I’d agree but I don’t eq…I used to ride old British/American motorbikes and we called it charter lol.

If your craving the modding mode these are definitely a good pickup I’ve seen a. Ton of awesome mods and 3d printed or cnc machined grills as well for this headphone. It’s a shame these driver’s weren’t given the clone treatment the sendy driver’s got would have loved to see where companies went to improve the sound

So this thread got quiet…
I pulled mine out again after some time and I’ve finally decided to sell them. Now to find a buyer, which based on the activity in here, might prove challenging…
I still listen to mine from time to time, more so than my 660s tbh but mostly it’s iems these days.

My substantially modified and EQ’ed Phantom is on my head as I type, powered by my little SMSL M3. Listening to ChangesNowBowie.
Still awesome.

Does anyone actually know what this material is called?
I’ve done a tonne of mods to my Phantoms (ZMF pads, foam removal/addition, replace grill, fuzzor, additional sorbothane damping to reduce reflections), but this is a mod I now want to reverse - except I can’t find these film covers… (Think I chucked em) I notice a similar material is used to cover the drivers on the Fostex T50rp but from all the Googling in the world I can’t seem to identify what it is… Seems to be some kind of breathable/porous plastic mesh/membrane - anyone have any ideas? Or even better, how it could be sourced? I reached out to Linsoul, but no joy… Any suggestions much appreciated!
Thank you! I’ve tried searching variations on those terms, but keep drawing a blank… Can’t seem to find any similar thin, plastic, porous membrane for sale - any ideas?
Have you tried mailing Thieaudio directly?..might be worth a shot

Reminds me of pc fan filter mesh, you should be able to find 140mm filters on amazon for cheap and could cut them up as a last resort?
Would something like window screen material work?
Good shout, thanks! I thought I had 'cause I contacted Linsoul - but I see now that Thieaudio have their own website etc.

Thanks, I’ve finally stumbled on this mesh which I think could be similar - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Multiple-Sizes-Fine-Filter-Mesh-Nylon-Fabric-Net-Material-Water-Starain-Brew-Bag/324027244794?pageci=c87a976a-2017-4030-9dc0-8483bc326520 - ordered a couple of grades to play around with.
Will also see what Thieaudio have to say 
Man I removed and put back that mesh shit so many times on my Phantoms…props to the glue

Argh, their website is a bit of a joke it seems… The “Contact Us” is a mailing list subscription and all the social media links are dead 
I wonder if some of these Chi-Fi brands are businesses in their own right or in some instances just labels that companies like Linsoul use for products they commission. I guess it shall remain a mystery!
Ahh, see what you mean! Something like this?
