I see your point of view but as you noted "what is right" is up to the individual, since I'm an engineer I like to "fix" things that I think are not "right" if it is within my skills. I'm sorry for being this direct, but the amount of false science on this web site has reached intolerable levels, and it will literally make some people ruin their headphones after reading some of the ******** around here. They don't sound the way they do by accident, they were designed that way. ![]() ![]() You're not improving them with "coin mods" or removing the foams, removing the structural elements, or doing any other think that goes against logic and common sense when we're talking about acoustics, you're making their sound more uneven and taking them further away from what they were meant to do in their original form. People who developed these headphones know infinitely more about engineering and acoustics than you do, so don't insult their work and intelligence by claiming you can "improve" the headphones by doing these mods that literally do nothing else but ruin the original state of the headphone. I still don't understand how people think they can improve the sound by removing pieces off a headphone that are there for a very good reason. Making it less solid can't possible improve the sound, if you do hear an improvement, then it's just placebo because you want to hear an improvement. The diaphragm of the driver vibrates in a very precise way, and in order to do that, the structure it's attached to has to be as solid as possible. Removing that can only hurt the sound and in the long run reduce the reliability of the headphone because now the only thing holding the magnet in place is a little bit of glue. It's a very important structural element that makes the entire driver assembly stiffer, keeps the magnet securely in it's place and enables the dampening foam to be secured above the hole and give the driver an optimal amount of airflow on top of that. It's pretty obvious what that is, if you have any common sense that is. ![]() I can't believe some people are removing that "plastic spider".
