welcome back to tech es city and I'm today I'm coming back to you guys too with a video that was supposed to be a dick a detachable detachable cable mod for any pair of headphones so how to turn a normal headphone like this into a something like this where you have a gaming headset when you can make it detachable and use it with a V motor boom pro like this now as you guys know I recently reviewed the v-moda burn pro and I was impressed by at it basically you know if you have a detachable point here you can just turn any headphones and the audio file headphones into a gaming headset so it was really impressive not to mention that the speaker cable itself is also good as well just know it's not going to you know deteriorate any of your audio quality but let's look now i'll be getting this guide done like it's a thorough guide i'll be getting it done in the future i'm going to be modding these and doing a thorough guide for you guys and you know I want you know because people like well there's the Angela on mod mech and yeah the ant alarm on because ok but you've got two cables so I'd rather you guys if you could change this into a detachable cable and then you can put in a very motor boom pro or any other maybe a cheap Chinese alternative when it comes out anyway this is what I found when I had these I found a pretty what would you call it startling revelation i had these these HD 595 so i was originally i'm going to do the guy for you guys i almost had it done and then basically when i got it done the left and the right speakers were confused and so you know i basically you know some guy had an image up there and it was wrong on the internet so i basically looked on ahead fire for him and people identified the speaker wires and then when i got it right this the headphones just so i must have you know the solarin must have damaged there were some of the wise internally and things just didn't work properly like the right was leaking into the left and it just sounded all crazy but when i pulled the headphones apart this was what i noticed you hear me hot see this see me holding this wire here this was like the scary thing san hires up use the same they use the positive and negative Y and they put it in the same wire I mean yeah it looks like their shielding the positive with some red kind of paint or something like that but where I come from you know I'm on may call me old school but I like to have my positive and negative wire in separate wire in separate wiring and you know when i change this when I saw this I was horrified I was like damn I ripped it all out ripped all the speaker cable out from sennheiser decided to solder the speakers you know sort of this new wire which is like 40 cents sold it to the speaker's themselves and then run it to a jack and so it looks pretty bad but when I did this it sounded freaking phenomenal these headphones just sounded way more fuller they just sounded rich they sounded good the base was better the meds were just more rich the highs were there that was rich this whole headphone just sounds amazing now once after i did this mod so maybe you guys in the headphone community you might want to look into this I don't know but these headphones now sound freaking amazing they're now in the same league as my fidelio x1's so that says a lot for this mod anyway that's just enlightening you know why does sennheiser put the same wire and then you know put the positive negative in the same wire I have no idea maybe they just want to cost my guess is that they cost cutting but you know it's a cost cut and it's detrimental to your audio performance in my opinion honestly lastly I want to say is you know I seriously I would look into getting if you guys wanted a really good set of headphones and you don't mind getting your head hands dirty you may wish to go and get a pair of HD 5 18 and then you can you know maybe if you want to rip all the speaker wire out change it over for some good stuff and then maybe modify the backplate you'll probably have a set of headphones that sounds better than a two-hundred-dollar set of HD 598 because if you guys didn't know the HD 518 use the same speakers as the HD 598 so you have a seventy dollar headphone if you can mod it properly sounding better than a two-hundred-dollar headphone from the same manufacturer anyway that's something to look into it was something that kind of startled me and these things sound freaking phenomenal now you know coupled with this this is my new gaming headset of choice and you're probably asking why would you prefer these over the fidelio x1's these just have that sound signature they've got he's got that bump in the midst and shall I pull up frequency response curve for you this is basically if you're a gamer you want that bump in the meds because that's where all the voices and footsteps and all the gunfire is happening so if you have that boost in the mids that's better for you as a gamer also the soundstage on these headphones it's really good after i did this mod it's pretty much in the same league as the x1's they both have really good sound stage so honestly you know I can recommend doing this mod it's something to look into for you guys in the headphone community I was pretty startled but like what the hell's going on but yeah you know now these things sound amazing they look terrible they sound amazing now so anyway I can recommend this mod I'll be coming with the detachable cable mod soon when i get some time it will take me a while because i want to do a nice guide for you guys and pretty much going to make any headphone I'd to catch a detachable cable which will allow you plug in one of these babies anyway I hope you enjoyed this little video / semi rant wasn't really a rant I didn't really get angry because these sound amazing now and i only got them for one hundred dollars if i'll be coming back with another tech video soon most likely reviewing the sound blaster z which is a mixed bag but anyway we'll get on to that soon anyway peace out for now bye
