Hell, I got at least 30% more resolution just by removing the grills and the crappy foam pads from the Sennheiser HD600s.

I swapped out the stock, thick plastic grills on a pair of HD-580s with a pair of HD-600 grills and noticed a substantial improvement. I suspect that many headphones have grills that hamper the sound to some degree. I guess I am not quite ready to go without grills altogether, though...

Yep, pretty scary, right?
;-)
It's relatively easy to pop off the grills and remove the foam pads temporarily, you know, just see to what it sounds like. You know you want to. :-)
If you understood how accident prone I can be you might understand why going grill-less would seem to be the "pretty scary" option for me. I believe that they put those grills on there for a pretty good reason.

the drivers are well protected by the plastic frame that .. err.. frames.. their back.
It is a quick do/undo process, takes less than it took me to type this. About the same as it would take a semi-competent typist to complete the task.
