RE: What's the "foam mod" on the HD600?

I have the HD600's and tried the so called "foam mod". I'm glad that it only took about 2 minutes and was free because it took me about that long to decide that removing the foam was a step in the wrong direction. The highs do get a little clearer. We're talking like 1% here. On the flip side, the sound staging and bass response suffer tremendously.The phones also seems to have an empty sound that becomes full again when the foam is put back in.

I can't believe that people actually think that after Sennheiser spent hundreds of thousands of dollars developing the HD600's that they never considered the possibility that they might sound better without that $0.005 piece of foam. I'm sure they had beta testers listen to them both ways along with hundreds of other variables before going to production.
