hi @octavedoc nothing original, just a pair of ear pads with fitting diameter, attached with double sided tape. Impossible to find the exact replacement, so I went for these on AMZ. Hope this helps! Cheers

Well I'm a bit late on this, to be honest I think they are decent however miss the punch of more modern headphones (even on the less expensive side). To make an example, I like listening to stuff like Gov't Mule feat. John Scofield. It's a nice piece of gear to run, bulky as you may imagine. I...

I found this interesting thread on the same topic https://www.head-fi.org/threads/electret-vs-electrostatic.200922/ for which I thank all the contributors. it looks like mine can be just old, so their magnetic charge is less than it was as new, anyway I'll keep using them as they sound fine -...

Hello, I just saved a pair of said ATH-8 electret complete with their adapter/transformer. Pads and headband destroyed so in need of full repair, the rest is perfect (well, dirty). I tried to hook them and they seem to work but I found the sound level to be lower than expected, much lower for...

After receiving the quote for the earcup made with 3D printing, I decided I wanted a cheap 3D printer myself. Some researches done and finally I had the part made in house, here's the finished thing. The bracket pivot is also 3D printed, it does not look wonderful but it works. New earpads still...

Update. It turned out that full disassembly required drilling of the bracket pins - at least one. So at the end you get one plastic earcup, two pins, one metal ring (I needed to warm up the metal ring to be able to slide it out of place). After removing the ring, the cable becomes totally free...

I started to disassemble them. Here's the cup assembly after removing the earpad (left side): Remove 3 screws, you get this: the driver post are connected via clips, then a wire is soldered to the driver poles. Is this an unusual setup? Last, I took the driver off its plastic housing, it...

As stated, here come the pictures: headphones and specs, plus the instructions sheet. If anyone is interested, I can send scans via PDF of the documentation (a simple, 4 sides leaflet). Headphones: there's a damage on the outer lip of the can on the left (which is actually the right channel)...

Hello all, I found this old thread about Stanton Dynaphase models and wanted to ask if anyone knows anything about the Dynaphase 35 which I'm going to receive shortly. The list in this thread does not mention the 35's. They were just a 10 euro thing, I could not resist. I was not able to find...

I did the same mistake. In the beginning, I had a pair with a faulty right driver and purchased two cheap 250 Ohm drivers with the idea of replace them all and also make the detachable cable mod. After damaging the 250 Ohm good left driver I decided to invest more money on a pair of original...

Hello all from Italy! I recently re-took interest in headphones and revamped some old gear I have around. The forums have been very useful to me and I learnt a lot. So first of all thanks to all the experienced members for the help provided so far.
