![]() ![]() Don’t remove the second protection film just yet. Each piece should be at least 15mm long but not wider than 4mm (otherwise you will not be able to screw the grill-housing back into the headphones). Take the molding tape and cut off four pieces.The soft sticky inner film is perfect to hold the glass in place. Do not push down towards the glass!įor this modification I highly recommend using double-sided molding tape. ![]() Now, with some light pressure rotate counterclockwise and away from the glass so that there will be no scratches on the glass.Press the filter down on the working mat while you put the bit in one of the slits in the inner ring.There are special tools that can be used for unscrewing such filter rings but the Amazon Basic ones are easy to dismantle with a small flathead bit. The inner ring which we will remove has two opposite slits. The filter consists of two metal rings screwed together. Besides looking better, the glass panels turn the headphones into a somewhat closed-back design while maintaining the soundstage and improving the bass response. The filter glass is exactly 58mm in diameter and has the right fit for our purpose. Take caution! This type of glass is extremely brittle! Wearing safety glasses is recommended! I unscrewed several filter rings in the past and have never run into a problem, but I have read many stories where people shattered this type of glass and even got splinters in their face, so BE CAREFUL and work slowly! I know for most audiophiles out there, the SHP9500 are by no means the gold standard of headphones but they are quite exceptional for their price. Heck, my main reason for buying these headphones was to modify them and make them see-through! The frame of my glasses is transparent, my last phone had a translucent back-cover, and I even altered my Nintendo Switch to have a see-through housing. It may come as no surprise that I have a huge affinity for transparent electronics. They often are more comfortable, sound better, and look pleasingly bulky (at least from my perspective). I quickly figured out my preference for over-ears. Since my early teens, I have been obsessed with different types of audio gear and have tried out many styles of headphones. I got the inspiration for this idea from a YouTuber named Maxime S. In this tutorial, I will show you how to alter the way the Philips SHP9500 look and sound, while also enhancing their comfort, and changing them to a more closed-back design. No, this doesn’t magically transform the 9500 into “HD820 lite,” but with this guide your SHPs will surely look like them! ![]()
