I've still got this set hanging, waiting for someone to help me get these working again.

I have a set of headphones from some random company that has a removable cable. The cable doesn't work anymore I used them for a workout buddy), and they're just expensive enough that I want a replacement cable. The cable is L/R mono 2.5mm plugs on one end, a mic in the middle, and a 3.5mm TRRS...

I have these headphones under the brand name "TRIBECA Aviator." I bought them for $60ish, and as compared to a Beyerdynamic dt770, they are markedly rolled off in the highs. It's not a bad sound, and you get accustomed to it, but the roll-off is real.

I have really enjoyed comparing what I can see in waterfall graphs to what my experience has been with various headphones. specifically the graphs at en.Goldenears.com. I have made some low-fi and mid-fi purchases, such as the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pros most recently, and I want to play around...

Hey, this is a quick shout-out about materials. Has anyone experimented with the high-frequency attenuation properties of different felts? I was actually wanting to know in reference to cutting the 9-11khz peak on the Beyerdynamic DT770 250's. I know this thread is for orthodynamics, but I...

Hey, MRenard. How large are the ES-660 earcups. It's not clear from the pictures.

Folly. I just pulled my Realistic Pro 30's out of storage and hooked them up via the speaker outs on my receiver. There's the small headstage, sure enough, but also the spectacular imaging! On Here and Heaven off of Yo-Yo Ma et al's The Goat Rodeo Sessions, the female lead was almost nuzzling...

Is there an updated pricelist that includes the ES-660EB/CR? Even if they sound like turds, those look like perfect donorphones. I would also be interested in the ES-666's. Thanks.

To get a differently FR'd backwave, to cut down on backwave cancellation? To provide the reflex-dot effect, by having a reflector lined up behind the front holes?

A warning: be really sure you know why you want to do this project. You can waste a lot of money on DIY projects and still not get a decent result. You should post your idea in the DIY forum, and maybe some of them could even give you advice on how to synthesize it.   As a suggestion, you...

I would look into the Asus Xonar series, if you want Dolby Headphone support. But, basically, what you just described is exactly how the Aurvana Live!'s are: very laid-back presentation with a small sound-stage but excellent directionality. You aren't going to improve that by amping.   I am...

it actually sounds like you have a cable problem. The Aurvana Live should give good positioning (one of the best I've heard, despite the small stage). I would try recabling them. It really isn't that hard, and you can buy a cheap pair of headphones to practice on, first.   ---er, it really...

How about these? They use a different frame, but it's both cheap and metal. http://cgi.ebay.com/Koss-SM-97-Headphones-/200407299062?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ea934b3f6#ht_2293wt_1139

Scompton, if the Sony XB500/XB700 pads are like the knockoff ueber-plasticy pair I bought at Ross's for $10, the ring is only seated between the fabric screen and the underside of the pads. Admittedly, that is an unlikely scenario.   And, if you remember that ATH-2 you sold me a while back...

Thanks for the input. The woofer may look alright from this photo, but it looks really dingy in real life. I'll try the brush thing, though. And that's actually foam on the front of the speaker. The Centuries had this characteristic molded foam for the front.
