Extend the cups down, then bend the exposed interior metal of the headband itself. Really the only way to make it permanent. They will be harder to adjust afterwards, though.

Have you tried heating the headband before?

I stretched it out again, hit it with a hair drier for about 5 minutes, let it cool down for another 30, and it's holding far better than than just stretching for half an hour would.  I'll have to give it another few days and see what happens.

Does it count as burn-in if it reverses afterwords?  They're tightening up again.  I wonder what kind of magic self healing polymer that headband is made out of.  You could probably make car body panels with it or something.

I think even the lowest setting on heat gun will be too much.  Time to borrow a hair drier...

LOL! Luv it man.  ;D

Or you could just bend the metal in less than a minute and be done with it forever and ever. ;)  Your method might fit better though.

Don't try anything you might regret. The high pressure is part of the design for the best possible bass and transducer's damping.
Just don't keep changing their position on your head. It's the skin irritation from the frequent position changes that annoys you most.

LOL.  Your telling that to me after other people in this thread have removed the stock damping from the back of driver?

Uh oh, too late! I regret everything I previously didn't regret because it worked out much better than stock by far until you pointed this out!

  • 600 A.D. (Fuck Magus)

Got off my ass and did it this morning. Hammer and socket is definitely the way to go for making a clean easy hole. There wasn't any glue on the foam behind my driver, so it was really easy to take out in once piece.

Completely concur with the observations in this thread: the mods improved clarity, moved the bass hump lower, and made the sound far more lively/energetic. I suspect that my HD600 isn't going to get a lot of head time after this. Highly recommended.

Likewise, I think I might sell off my hd600s to my friend after using the hd650s for the past week or so. For those who have an x-acto knife around, it is very easy to cut the foam around the quarter. Nice and neat.
