I was on the innerfidelty website when I stumbled across the Anaxilus mod for HD800s. Tried it out but didnt like it. But now I had 6 sheets of the creatology polyester sheets just lying around. Fast forward and I decided I would soon consolidate and sell my HD600s. I threw them on for a last whirl when a inner liner broke. Couldn't sell them in that shape so I just quickly used some of my polyester sheets to make a new one. Upon instalation and listening that ear sounded better than the unmoded one.
Fast forward and I created one for the other ear and did some more listening. I asked my uncle to come over and do a blind test. Well we got the same results.
The part where the liner touches our ears was a bit more comfy, more airy and breathable. Highs and mids a bit clearer and open. Imaging more detailed soundstage wider. Bass tighter and cleaner. We were shocked.
Well I suggest to all 11+ 600 650 owners to give it a try. Its under $5 a sheet. Don't expect a change so drastic it makes your headphones become 800s, but definetly is an upgrade. Feel free to leave comments below with your findings.
Instructions:
1) Purchase creatology or other 100% polyester 2mm sheet in desired colour.
2) Remove ear pad and liner
3) Cut a piece of polyester sheet to fit inside the plastic ring on the back of ear pads snuggly.
4) Insert and snap on
5) Listen away!
