Should be enough for one headphone...
I learned something new there. Thanks. The (misguided) thinking is that the aluminum serves as a flat surface that will itself "reflect" sounds.
Pretend the inside of your headphone is a stealth fighter undergoing radar tests at Lockheed.
That's a very handy site, micmacmo. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Not to take anything away from Dave Rat, but I've long been puzzled by the assertion that drivers have to be bolted to perfectly rigid baffles to produce good bass. In the speaker world this has given us spikes meant to solidly anchor speaker cabinets. But the question arises: doesn't this require that earpads be solid as well? Either that or headphone cups would have to be massive to prevent bass-robbing motion. Just sayin'. Askin', really.
