This is the signle greatest thread I have read on head-fi for months. This beats all. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath! Who else will make something?? I want to laugh more!

This thread is fantastic! Please guys, keep it up!

While on the topic of DIY headphones, I came across this in the Mouser catalog:

Mouser Stock No. 665-APS-100

It's a piezo ceramic speaker with a frequency range of 500Hz-20kHz. They're $2.05 each. I've been thinking of ordering a few.

I dunno...I think the heads those poor headphones are on look a lot uglier

Actually, a few weeks ago, I was looking at my 2.1 Creative speakers in my room, because the speaker grilles look pretty much like the K1000 grilles, and held the speakers up to my ears. It was cool, but...no subwoofer!

His spleen! He needs that! (Actually he doesn't but that's beside the point.)

I think this belongs in this thread

One cannibalised pair of cheap earbuds later, and the phonodome is ready for ipod use. Drives to quite a satisfactory volume too. And using the headphone socket on the NAD delivers a most meaty and satisfying result.




Theres also a little video for those who care to see things in motion.
