I think maybe I wasn't clear. To clarify, the ones we built are very comfortable. The ear cups fit exactly like the mdr v6, and I just weighed them at 7.4 ounces which happens to be exactly how much the Sony mdr v6 is advertised to weigh, though the coiled cord makes the Sony feel heavier. Any...

I havent, we have only tried the Sony OEM pads, the Beyerdynamic velours, and some off-brand ones that are very similar to OEM. I will look into them more, reviews online look promising. I found a source for Audio technica drivers and may give them a try. Thanks for the link. I am sending a...

Got a chance to finish up the green and walnut set yesterday and documented the assembly. I think we finally have the design refined. For fun we tried the sony MDR v6 drivers in the old walnut set since they fit. They sounded good but I prefer the openness of the KSC75 drivers. Looks like this...

The project was initially inspired when I ran across the StratoKOSSter thread by accident while troubleshooting a problem with my Sony MDR V6. I read the thread and was pretty encouraged by the results claimed. Since I am somewhat handy I thought I would come up with my own design. Here is a...

This link will probably teach you mostly everything you need to know on the subject. You can even make a basic speaker yourself to demonstrate the concept even though most tutorials dont sound good. In short from the article: "When current flows through the conductor it will move outward away...

Thank you! that is a prototype so the caps are unfinished, but I am working on a couple other pair in the same design that look more professional. You dont even want to see the very first prototype. U.G.L.Y
