Quickest headphone mod ever - cork mod on JVC HA-S500

Hi folks,

I was bored this morning while waiting on my Mac to reinstall OSX decided to have a peek inside my pair of HA-S500. I found no damping inside and I had some cork from modding my ATH ES-700 I've put some inside of JVC.

Whole process is fully reversible and took me 10 minutes.

1. What is required for the mod:



2. Take off the pads and cover the holes with a piece of cellotape - this will protect the membrane from screws accidentally damaging it:



3. Unscrew 3 screws:



4. Cut the cork so it will fit nicely in hollow space behind the driver:



5. Fit the piece of cork in the place.



6. Put the driver back, install screws and the pads - done!

Result - more controlled bass, mids and highs moved a bit forward- I like it. Like I've said it is fully reversible and took me less than 10 minutes.
If anyone wants to try the mod I have some cork left (2 or 3 sets) that I can share for free. PM me with for details (first come first serve)
