I bought the Supergrills a while back (still haven't installed them as I found out the hard way that I have poorly QC'd XS drivers and have to replace them first) but I'd like a set of the hinges too. I couldn't find them on the site except for the download link in the video's description to 3D print them & the Supergrills. Do you sell the hinges separately?

I put over ear pads form broken headphones on them and they sound good, more isolated, most important They're comfortable. I also put the foam from the headphones. The headphones were $13.77 with tax. The original pads made my ears hurts for a few days, can you use the original pad as stuffing? 🤔

Can you put FT1 on your list, for review, for cracking them open and finding out how FiiO have done it?? I have them and reckon they are incredible and I think it's down to the diaphragm, some kind of pulp. To see you going in on them would be brill.. Think a lot of people are getting them too after 99.99% of reviews putting the hype train parked firmly in to real deal station.

Could you measure them without the grills and with the custom ones as well? I really like this headphone but it is very weirdly power picky. Nonsense magic I've changed both pads and grills on mine Preamp at -8db paired with a strong amp in high gain & high knob / voltages. Their planar drivers seem to enjoy a higher voltage for clean bass excitement

Hi, I am using a slight modified version of Oratory1990's Harman curve, as i did not like the stock sound, kinda feelt like I am in a barrell and vocals are somewhere in the back and the eq levels things up but the base is still lacking in slam. I am very keen to try this, but I wonder if I can still use the eq and rip the benefits this brings.

I did the most horrible thing to a $40 pair of SR-80e's- I didn't have female jacks, but I had some cheapo adapters that go from 3.5mm male mono to female stereo. They wedge in between the cups so I made a HUGE glob of solder to hold the male end in, with the females sticking out a fair bit. And actually? It looks very Grado lol. But I'm going to hell for it 😂 I plugged an old HE-400se cable in and it works just fine Edit: I meant to say I plugged a hifiman cable in lol

It is quite a broad spectrum but shares it's roots with Disco with things like soul, funk, gospel, Afro beat and Latin all influencing it.

I followed your method of using a flat screwdriver and butter knife to get the white part out. The video makes this look easy, but it actually took an insane amount of force to get the job done. I did get the kit in, and it did change the sound, but with this method I ended up breaking some of the black plastic on the outside and poked holes on the round membrane round the drivers, not what I was going for here, lol.

Second comment I am making from the previous one; I bought a new set of Edition XS headphones for a relative to be paired with a hifiman EF400, and the first thing I have done is comparing the two headphones (the comparizon being the older one I got with supergrills). I tried with the two connected on the same AMP, with the same EQ and HeSuVi settings and here is the result for me : With the supergrills : - More precise sound overall, and with more medium / treble. Quite enjoyable for opera or female voices (my test song is Pana Cand Nu Te Iubeam - Nicoleta Nuca) - Wider soundstage - and significantly larger, it's not huge, but when you compare back to the original XS, which is amazing, you really feel you're in a more contained "sphere". This is something I can't reproduce with EQ. 10/10 I think I have now to order a new set of supergrills and someday install it for my relative's new headphones hehehe ! I think everyone owning a pair of XS should have these !

Then I add the new the ones?
