Are there any tutorials, design plans, how-to's, or people with helpful advice regarding constructing wooden ear cups for the Fostex T50RP and the assembly of the drivers into the cups? I think this would be a fun and challenging modification to the headphones to try. Thanks for any and all help!

Overall excellent buds, very good sound quality, especially for their price, the medium set of tips fits exactly in my ears and provides a near perfect seal. Bass is very detailed, but not...

The AKG K270s are the classic, big huge studio headphones. There is little doubt if you see someone in these cans, they're tracking tasty licks on a new album. Despite their size, they do tend...

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

Bought these on whim, for your basic train ride to work I don't mind. But its far from being the best I have own.

First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...

The only thing is the Thunderpants site. I'd just look at his pictures of his cups and try to get some wood and replicate it. It's all I have found like you, no one ever replies to questions like this I have found because no one knows. I think I am going to try it though and go to Home Depot or something and get a 2x4 of some pine wood or something and shape it using I have no idea what and stain and go from there. Just use the old ear cup as a template I guess. Let me know if you find anything else out!

hmm interesting. I could have sworn I saw some posts where someone made his/her own wooden cups (not from Smeggy) for the fostex t50rp.
The biggest hurdle is figuring out the measurements and dimensions of everything. From there, one would probably need a lathe to cut nice smooth bowls into the wood to make the cups. As for the construction of the baffles, I have no idea.
