Hifiman Edition XS insane mod + measurements

[deccatree]

Thanks a lot! In the moment i saw your post i remembered your website. Sorry for annoying, grey cells become older more and more. I was able to integrate your filter into the case of the headphone. So there's no change in the handling. The result is great. Changed the sound character quite a lot. I like it!

For the better I hope ...

So to be clear the final mod was just to insert cotton fill between the pads and the frame? Was there any need to remove the pads or take anything apart to do the mod?

Some folks use the appropriate thickness rope tucked under the pads.
It increases the ear-driver distance and thus influences the sound.

Yes that's right. And nothing is needed to be taken apart

Would the same mod work with the Ananda Stealth? The two have almost the exact same tuning but couldnt find any group delay measurements of the ananda stealth V3.
