Recently I sold my house and I am waiting patiently for the new one to be built so I am living with the inlaws. My wife and I do not alway like to watch what everyone else is watching so when the kids go to bed we watch all our movies and shows in our room on our Xbox One. I purchased Earforce XO One headsets for each of us and they sound pretty good and they work well for gaming as well and it beats the hell out of listening to shows shows on the TV speakers so that it does not bother anyone.
I do not have any audio projects that I can work on at the moment so I would like to mod the headphones to see if I can make them sound better. Currently they plug into the Xbox controller with a standard headphone jack.
I have never messed with headphones and looking for suggestions.
Thank you in advance

The phones will sounds better with lower source resistance, so a headphone buffer amplifier in between,
with a low output resistance, should help.

With neither comprehensive listening experience (doesn't sound like it, at least) nor anything resembling a measurement setup, I'd consider working out sensible mods nigh impossible. It's certainly not a bad idea to read up on how others have modified closed headphones, probably on Head-Fi and other headphone enthusiasts' hangouts.
The cheapest kind of measurement setup I've read about involved a piece of cardboard with a hole in it for a typical omni measurement mic. I don't think this is useful for anything but open headphones though, and would really recommend some in-ear (binaural) microphones. Together with a PC and ARTA (and possibly a headphone amp to ensure low output impedance), those should make for some decent measurements. The downside is that they'll cost about as much as the headset itself, or more.
