AT853 with rubbery coating/housing

(1/3) > >>

heathen:
I got a pair of AT853s in the YS and the bodies have some kind of rubbery coating or housing over them (see pictures below).  I'd like to know if I can safely remove that rubbery coating, but I'm not sure who to ask.  Anyone know what's up with these things?

Never seen that nonsense. Looks like someone put that on there so they could attach clips?

Yeah, the clips attach to those little circle areas.

Hoping someone else chimes in here, but I see so reason why you couldn't remove it. On the other hand, it's not going to make them much smaller by doing so

I would ask sound professionals they may have offered that at one time or may know more.
