Successful Mods of Single Dynamic-Driver Earphones Performed and Described by James444
Alpex HSE-A2000 — balancing reduction of bass and treble
JVC FD01 with DIY filters — dampening with swabs
JVC HA-FX850 — with great explanations of the physics
Pioneer CH3 — treble reduction only
Note: The principles of these mods are universal.
Many purists think, single DDs sound better than multis. James444 writes:
“…To borrow a metaphor from photography: BA timbre reminds me of a slightly over-sharpened picture. Impressive, contrasty and eye-popping, but not necessarily all that realistic…”
He continues (while stating his remarks being subjective):
“…: for instance, that I intuitively and predominantly would pick DDs for classical, whenever I had several different IEMs at hand. And that upon switching from DDs to BAs, I would always need some time to adjust to BA timbre. Whereas the adjustment would happen almost instantly, when switching the other way round from BAs to DDs…”
I wish “Happy Modding”!
