It is probably indeed because the HD 600 is bass shy. I too enjoy them quite a bit without EQ, but as soon as I crave that DnB, their flaws become apparent and all enjoyment is lost.

I'd try EQ, if I were you. I recommend starting with Oratory's settings. You can also only apply the bass EQ, if you feel the rest to be unnecessary. Then adjust band three (the low shelf) to preference.

What are these even?

Here's an article showing the changes in response that earpads make for the M50X.

IMO I'd just look at the graph and buy Brainwavz over Dekonis since they're about half the price for similar quality.

You can put stuff like toilet paper over the drivers but IMO that usually compromises tonal balance too much for most headphones.

Absolutely fine. It can be pretty fun, after all!

If you want to dampen the treble, the most reasonable way would probably be to add additional front dampening: extra, thicker foam, or paper, or combining multiple materials. If you want to work with the bass, the easiest way is finding out where the vents are and completely or partially covering them, and then observing how the bass changes. More radical changes would be changing the dampening within the cup: for example, by adding additional material (foams, polyester wool, …), or removing the existing material. The most radical change possible would be drilling additional vent holes, which would convert the headphone into a open/semi-open.

You can also try pad rolling, though that can get a bit pricey fast.

Sell them and buy something else? Lmao

But for a real answer, you could try a couple layers of various different things in front of the drivers (for example coffee filter, paper towel, old t-shirt, etc). If they have some sort of bass port you can experiment with covering it partially or fully. Can also experiment with adding sticky tack inside the cups or filling the rear volume with cotton or other fillers. Everything I've mentioned is easily reversible so you can experiment without worrying about permanently changing something.

Changing the pads for something deeper or covered in a different material can change the sound as well.

I am aware of eq but yeah, it’s for fun and I’d like a “permanent” fix. I just like building stuff

Modding can be a lot of fun and all that, but if you’re really "just" looking for a way to make your headphones sound better, use EQ. You can still experiment around with it a lot! The r/oratory1990 or AutoEQ presets are good starting points, and from there, you can find out what you’d like to change.

Have you tried parametric EQ ?

Relatable

You said it is the best and some idiot down voted your comment. People are rally insane on this forum.

Wtf

Are you listening to them on a safe volume yet

I love them for games. Verry good seperarion

I appreciate my FH7 as well

Haven't heard those but I love the fh9s

Have you tried gaming with those? Looks like the semi open back would give it a decent soundstage.

I was just saying it's not just limited to MMCX they offer .78mm 2 pin set as well for the non-MMCX IEMs.

The second part was just that most people suggest getting the MMCX anyways even if you have a 2 pin IEM, because it can still swivel with an adapter (and get a better fit) whereas a normal two pin can't always adjust well enough to fit comfortably.

In easy words - Its a best

I am nlt sure what you meant now. But i think the compatibily list if the utws5 is huge

How are u liking the s23u

To second this. FIIO has 2 pin options as well for the UTWS5, so you don't always have to get MMCX IEMs (though it's recommended to get the MMCX and the MMCX to 2 pin adapter so you can still adjust the IEM angle).

i think every mmcx iem should work perfectly with them

So this utws5, do you then attach some iem earpieces to the gold end? Can any iem earphone attach or does it have to be the same brand Fiio?

holy fuck i should go to bed its 2:12. i was just enjoying my new earbuds.... while browsing reddit
