Simply put, you need airflow between the pads and the frame of the headphones.

Denon Ah D 2000 Mod Driver To Pop

You have no reason to not try this It can be tested in a 100 reversible, free, easy way All you need is a small screwdriver to pop the cups off and your hands to do the work Read on to find out Two things to note first.

I do not always have the best and most detailed instructions for this mod.

For things like removing the cups, I am placing faith in your ability to use the search function and Google to find the countless number of times questions like these have been answered.

Second, any pictures Ive taken for this mod are located at the end of this post.

The Backstory The D200050007000 are all wonderful headphones, and I loved my D2000 when I got them.

I thought they had fantastic bass, were very detailed, lively, and surprisingly open sounding for being closed headphones.

It was quite common for me to read that they had muddy, bloated bass, recessed mids, and were occasionally too bright.

I figured it was just personal taste, or perhaps a lack of synergy in their equipment used.

How could I not People kept raving about how their sound stage, midrange performance, and overall natural, speaker-like sound.

I had some extra cash, so I wanted to see what they hype was about.

Boring, even. I was persistent, though, and let them burn in for a long time.

After coming back to them, there was an improvement in almost all areas of the sound.

I tried out a wider variety of music with them and found them to indeed match the praise they had been receiving.

If it lacked bass or was mixed and mastered poorly, you could tell.

Suddenly, I realized what people meant by them having bloated bass and recessed mids.

I used to think the D2000 sounded lively, but, man, the HD598s mids and sound stage just killed it.

Sure, the HD598s werent better in every aspect, but they simply sounded more natural to my ears.

I then found a thread here where someone had posted about their open D7000 mod.

Denon Ah D 2000 Mod Mods To My

I had always wanted to do the Markl mods to my D2000, but I was intrigued by this open mod.

It was just too cool The best part, though, was that you can try the open-back mod in an easy, completely reversible way that required purchasing nothing.

Thats pretty easy.

Get the earpads off and take out the 4 screws holding it in.

Second, instead of locking the earpads back into place, rest them on the frame of the headphones using the plastic locking pegs as stands to offset them from the frame.
