Any idea what is causing the dip at 3k? Can you try to measure it without the foam ring behind the earpad? Taking the foam ring out makes them a lot more airy and open. They sound brighter with more detail kind of like the K701 with a bass bump.

Lemme know if you need a specific link. Also I can probably hook people up with samples (few folks, that is).

Hans,
I am interested but I live in India, I don't know the feasibility. Can you give me a specific link to the foam? Thanks

Do you know if there is a different type of foam that will help with the dip at 3-4K?

Specific material I used (1/4" thickness): http://www.foambymail.com/CR/solid-charcoal-regular-foam.html

It's decent stuff to have around for general modding. Best way to go about ordering from the site is to get a selection of material to play around with and to just keep on hand for any mods that come your way, that way the shipping costs are more worth it.

But for anyone that just wants a small sample for the K7XX, feel free to PM me your address (must be CONUS), and I'll eventually compile a list of people to send stuff to.
