Are these like all the old 555/558 where you can open them up, remove a piece of tape, and they sound like the 595/598s?

ryan.yu.7370Actually, the foam mod does work on the 579s. I did it to my pair. It had much of the same effect. It takes some of the thump out of the bass, but sweetens up the sound a bit.

ryan.yu.7370I'd like to pull the tape from my HD579's and compare the sound to my HD599's. Even with the tape mod on my old HD558's I never felt the sound was the same as the HD598's as many people claimed. There were enough differences in the construction of the cups on those 2 headphones that they wouldn't sound the same. However, when I look at the builds of the HD579 and HD599 it seems like the only difference is the tape.

PeterMacI'd say it comes down to personal preference. Relative to many of my other headphones neither is all that great. And when you consider headphones like the HD6XX or HD58X the 579/599 aren't even that good a deal. I gave my 579s away and I almost never listen to my HD599s.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

DROP BMR1 Broken?
Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.
