in the mail, i noticed that the mids were a bit fuzzy/muddy

i know there's these mods for it, are they worth it?

http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/381303/jvc-ha-rx900-modifications-a-picture-tutorial-56k-forget-about-it

also, do i put the "acoustic lens" back on? or leave them off along with the felt ring?
input is appreciated and if anyone has done these mods, let me know what you thought!

also, where can i find some pink noise to burn these in?

According to the thread you put the lens back on after you remove the felt. Some people talk about the highs becoming quite peaky after you remove the felt ring so I wouldn't throw it away if I was you.

I would recommend a small amount of deadening in the back of the cup, the dynamat mod he does. There is another thread on head-fi that uses drawer liner.

thanks for the help dude!
also, why not take out the lens? i dont see how a piece of plastic could impact sound other then muffle/distort it

I modded my HA-RX900s and love the change. I put the lens back on and it works fine. Did the dynamat xtreme, felt removal, and polyfil sheets (like snow for christmas diorama). The sound is amazingly improved.

Did you notice the highs getting peaky after the felt removal?

I'm no audiophile I just wanted something with real bass lol. So ya I'm using onboard for the moment. Might get a soundcard down the road. But for my needs im utterly satisfied in comparison to all the gaming headsets I've used over the years lol.

Lol that's the same way i feel! lol i'm no audiophile nor do i even meet the requirements .. i lack the hearing... have a bad sense with hearing lol.. from voice actors to music.. But i figured i'd give these headphones a try since all i have are my stock ear-buds from my iPhone.. from a year ago lol!

I believe these headphones covered my niche, high quality enough for me to notice the difference without me having to pay 200 dollars for crap id never notice lol.
