    Any [ Open Back + On-Ear + Light + Bluetooth ] Headphones to recommend?

    Hi guys I have one "Modmic Wireless" microphone that I use with my AKG K701s. This is a great combination for Discord / Gaming. Where you need good sound quality but also good mic quality. (Obviously I also use the headphones for Music / Series). However, the AKG K701s are an overkill for...

    Grado Modders Go Nhoord?!?!

    Yes, I just got them a few hours ago. So far I'm enjoying them. (For Classic Rock and some Metal). Also bought an original Grado G cushion (will arrive in more than a week). They might be overkill for the SR60, but it's a piece I'll use in the future if I end up getting some wood cups or a...

    Grado Modders Go Nhoord?!?!

    Ok I'll "invest" in these used grados then. Use them for a while (before modding, because I've never heard Grados), and then get some aftermarket drivers and bigger earpads. In the future maybe I'll end up improving everything on them. But to start I think these used phones + better drivers +...

    Grado Modders Go Nhoord?!?!

    Awesome I didn't know it was possible. So I could endup building ones for like 170€ final price? (100€ for the SR60 and 70€ for the Nhoord driver). No need to purchase expensive cables or anything else? For 170€ I'm totally in! (Edit: I found some used pair for 65€ shall I proceed?). (I'm also...

    Grado Modders Go Nhoord?!?!

    What's the easiest and cheapest way of building some Nhoord v2 headphones? Can I just buy some cheap Grados in Amazon and replace the driver and the earpads? (Grado SR60e costs 100€ / Alessandro Grado or SR80 about 120€).

    AKG K701 vs Beyerdynamic DT990

    Yeah I think I should be aiming at something like Grados or Grado's style, to have a different headphone to match other kind of music. (Because with DT 880 I'm going to have something similar and DT 990 I'don't know). I also was thinking about building some "Nhoord" DIY headphones (with over...

    AKG K701 vs Beyerdynamic DT990

    I'm in the same situation, currently I have some AKGs K701s And I'd like to have some different headphones for different kind of music (old Rock suits me a lot). I can get the DT 990 Premium 600ohm for 186€. (My amp is a Lyr 2, so I think I'd go for the 600 Ohm version). Let me know if you...

    NEW Schiit Lyr 2: Impressions

    Hi DavidA, After so much time with the AKG K701 and the Lyr 2, I'm ready to take the step and (try to build) some Headphones for classic Rock music (and some Metal as well). So far I started with this: http://www.nhoord.com/explore/2016/8/26/how-to-build-your-own-headphones If I wanted to...

    K701 thread

    I did the bass mod. But fifty-fifty. I put some punched stickers (with thooth picks) and found a perfect balance for the K701 for Rock....Heavy Bass music and all kind of music. I'm matching them with some Voskhods tubes in a Lyr 2, these tubes also have some emphasis in the bass. The full...

    Reversible AKG K701 bass mod

    Ok! I'm not sure if 1.8mm or more, and how well I pasted the stickers (I used a toothpick, but did a hole much bigger than 1.2mm, probably 2mm, and without getting rid of the leftovers, since I don't have the right tools). But the bass is more controlled now, and can go back to higher levels...

    Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers

      Yeah, I know, those reflektors were amazing, I'd have bought them if I'd lived in the US. But the final price in Europe was gonna be over 80€ and wanted to get something asap and more economic to start.   BTW, how do the vendors know they are not selling junk tubes. I mean, these tubes...

    Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers

    Coming back to the stock canadian tubes as one of the 2 Reflektors went clear/white after some days, and after removing it, I see it has been fractured/broken!   The reason of this, is just a "bad tube"? Or I bought a pair that didn't match. (Sound was good for the 2-3 days I've used them). ...

    Reversible AKG K701 bass mod

    1 day review. The mod makes the Rock more enjoyable. But I'm not sure if I like modern/electronic music like before. Those themes with hard bass (like example1, example2) became a bit more hard in my ears and I tend to listen with less volume than before (I think I'm more sensible to low...
