    I haven't.
    
    My modding ability is limited to following easy instructions, and the pads you designed - and what I can see of the damping through the grille - are quite intimidating.
    
    The only thing I really want to change is the headband xD

  Never though I'd use the old Fiio E10K again, but it's great to extract spdif from a PS5.

  @zach915m if a crescent headband gives too much clamp where do I adjust it? On the edge as shown on the vid?

    If you put a finger between the last two cushions and bend out, it can bee loosened. If you go too far the same in reverse will work. I show it a little in the youtube crescent video.

    Beyer just came out with a Pro X line. This includes DT 770 Pro X. No idea how they compare but I feel like they deserve a review
    
    Oct 25, 2021
  4. Taverius
    Prelim accounts rate the 700 Pro X as "hotter" and "more aggressive" than the 770 Pro. Sound like Mt. Beyer is still going strong?

    Some people go out there and start the car once a week. Even drive around the block. Loose! Not enough to replace the juice it took to start the thing.
    
    I've left a car 6 months while out of the country, and I'm sure much much more is possible. Unless, of course, you have gadgets aboard, all slowly draining. Or the battery was a bit old to start with.

  Headphone modders, what's the most deadening adhesive foam? Need it for a keyboard case, to go on top of dynamat.

    fairly dense neoprene is pretty much acoustically impenetrable and quite durable. like the kind of foam you'd use to make a cosplay sword

    Cool, thanks! I found a listing on amazon Italy that sells sheets in 1,2,3,5 & 10mm thickness, so I'll apply dynamat and then as appropriate order to fill the space.
    
    Probably best to not completely fill any cavities and instead surround them on all sides to absorb.

    @Vtory what do you use matlab for? Usually REW is enough, but you need to know what you're doing.
    
    May 17, 2020
  4. Vtory
    @Hrodulf Wanted to find optimal positioning, phasing, and leveling -- based on measured individual components and inferred gear/room parameters with aid of numerical approximation and optimization. Idea borrowed from Dr Earl Geddes.
    
    No reason to adhere matlab. Any good linear solvers with matrices can do that. I'd use python and numpy/scipy if I do it again in 2020.
    
    May 17, 2020
  5. Hrodulf
    @Vtory interesting! I've got pretty decent results from REW or SMAART, if more advanced integration is needed. Is Geddes approach applicable to non-rectangular rooms?

    That's too horrible to contemplate! but then, so is most fractal wrongness.
    
    To do this, then, we really need three, not two, dimensions. We take the emoji based on Munch's painting, make it double-sided, and place it between two almost-parallel mirrors.
