Mine is modified with a new band and actual leather pads. It’s much more comfortable. I hated the stock band. Although the two mods probably cost 30% or more what I paid for the headphones. The concern is that for a normal user the tradeoff in fragility is a big concern. It’s why I can’t...

No unfortunately, there is one on YouTube that shows customizing them, but not a good look at the disassembly. You can see how many fasteners are used here in a similar Hifiman model here https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hifiman-he400se.948033/page-8 The bolts actually did use loctite, but...

From memory those screws just attach the ring that holds the pads in place. The drivers use nuts and bolts. In my case one of the nuts actually completely backed out and was vibrating. I seem to remember the heads are on the outside of the driver meaning you may have to pull the driver...

Thanks to @kadoke for this part: I'll save you my bad translation and let Google do it. With the adoption of more LLM it's actually now better than my mid level Japanese. Plus it's less work! It does manage to screw up by the second sentence, however, assuming 投野 is read as "Nageno" and not...

I wonder how much of the actual mix is done with headphones as opposed to those recording using them as monitors. In Japanese recording studios most of near field studio monitors I've seen during interviews next to the mixer are Genelecs. My complaint with modern J-Pop is abuse of dynamic...

I guess if you rap and bring your own equipment you get a pass! :D

Macross always gets top talent for the music for all of its various spin-offs. I'm generally a fan of lots of the music, but not so much the series itself. Sadly, the same with the Gundam series as well. They do seem to be the "go to headphones" for lots of anime as well as non-anime studio...

Yes. I had the same issue. The buzz is mostly likely one of the many, many screws holding the drivers together that has backed off. They are relatively easy to disassemble and tighten, but it's not completely an easy job. It's part of the reason I wouldn't recommend them to somebody that...

My guess given what looks like a barrel connector is that it was designed to run off one the many generic 19V laptop power supplies. Most of them put out between 2A and 4A and have wildly different levels of build quality and certifications.

I'm not the best hand with a soldering iron, but the @solderdude filter made what I considered a very pleasing sounding headphone sound even better. It wasn't terribly hard to build. Removing the peak helped bring out the low end .

If you want to go the Aliexpress route you can do it for about $25, but you will need to destroy the pads that come with the headphones. Otherwise you can buy rings for the outrageous $10 price or 3D print a set like I did. This will jump to where I discussed it...

JDS is really good about answering email. Just send them an email and you should get an answer within two business days or less. The pots on my unit are on their 4th year or so with no issues.

I had one of these in college. We referred to the backlit LCD as “Tokyo at Night”.

If your amp plays loud enough there is little to be gained going balanced. OTH, I found new pads to be both more comfortable and they provided a better seal which resulted in better bass for me. Details on the pads here...

Well best I can tell there are roughly five different "fudous" that can return depending on how you'd like to spell it in Japanese. 不動: ふどう (P, adj-no, n) immovable, motionless, firm, unwavering, unshakable, steadfast, (P, n, abbr) Acala (Wisdom King), Fudō, fierce Buddhist deity 浮動: ふどう...

I'm imaging the thing removing a small child's finger as it shuts slowly and silently. Except from the screams of the child of course.

@amirm - the title of the track "so nan desu" is an aizuchi. (Better romanization would be "sou nan desu".) It's a listening word or acknowledgement. Common common English translations would be "Really!" or "Really?" or "Is that so?", etc. But the real meaning would depend on the context of...

Nvidia Shield TV has a system wide setting that will adjust delay for all the applications.

Well, I just had these things apart for third time. This time I had to remove the entire driver as one of the nuts that clamps the driver had fully backed off and was rattling around inside the plastic ear cup housing. Let me just say I have a mixed recommendation on these. I really enjoy...
