    More Bass in left ear, more treble in the right ear.

    Hello everyone, I recently modified some vintage Channel Master Dynamic Stereo Heaphones (Model 6406), the modification involved completely removing the original drivers (Measuring in at a whopping 65mm!) and then replacing panels on which the drivers mount to with the panels from a pair of...

    Designing a microspeaker

    Hello, for the past year i've been designing some microspeakers on and off in the Onshape CAD software. And now I'm interested in building said design. I know it's best to use a single magnet, however getting one custom made is costly, and just one magnet would cost me around $70 so I'm...

    Onboard audio solution for DIY laptop project.

    Hello,    I am currently building a laptop, partly as a project to recycle a road case I have, but also so that I have something portable yet upgradeable that I can work on. I'd like to have audio so here is what I am asking.   Are there any PCBs, prebuilt or requiring self-assembly, that...

    Touchy Switch (Audio Technica ATH-ANC27)

    So i recently purchased a pair of Audip Technica Quietpoint headphones and found that toggling the power switch causes the volume in the right cup to become softer than in the left. I have to mess around with the switch in order to get balanced volume. Is there a way I can fix or adjust the...

    My DIY electrostatic headphones

    I'm designing my own custom headphone drivers and I wanted to ask you guys, could I use mylar as a membrane on something like this? I know they're not electrostatic drivers but it doesn't hurt to ask.

    How to make headphone drivers?

    Thanks! I have access to a 3D printer currently and I believe it's using an ABS filament so I can use that and then sand down the parts to the finish I need, but as far as magnets go they're the only things that really need processional fabrication. Do you know what specific magnets are...

    How to make headphone drivers?

    I know right? I used an online calculator and the pull force from it (if I use a neodymium magnet) is anywhere from 75lbs to 120+ lbs. Although I don't plan on using such a powerful magnet.   Here are some screenshots of the speaker.           EDIT: The magnet in this design...

    How to make headphone drivers?

    Hey guys, I'm looking to learn how to make my own headphone drivers, I have a rather unique design that I want to test out. I've already designed the drivers in some cad software, nothing fancy but just enough to give me an idea of what the final product may look like.    I'd like to know...

    Making wooden/metal headphone parts for DIY

    I don't currently have a need for your services but I do have to ask; do you work with custom designs? And if you do, in what format can you recieve CAD files?

    You are a skilled headphone DIY'er. I have cash. Let us help each other.

    Instead of focusing on band placement, why not use some sort of tension system on the headband to manage the pressure of the earcups?   For starters lets consider a pneumatic system consisting of a hand-pump, a push-to-connect switch, and a cylinder. We'll be using negative pressure.   In...

    Would this work for multi-driver headphones?

    No, that's not at all what I'm talking about here.   The drivers would be rings, a 40mm driver might fit in the empty space of a 60mm driver that has a 40mm inner diameter.   It would work something like this, except with drivers and not two metals in a coin.   20mm tweeter, 40 mm...

    My DIY electrostatic headphones

    Interesting Design you have for your headphones, I don't have access to the materials needed to make electrostatic headphones, but I now have some design inspiration for a pair I've been planning!

    Repairing FISHER TAD-992 Stereo

    Hey guys, hopefully this is the right section. I obtained a FISHER TAD-992 Stereo from a guy after he said I could have it if I could get it working. That worked out and I got the stereo but the 5 Disc changer still has a problem with the motor constantly running, it got to the point where I had...

    Sounds off, only one side is functioning

      They were working perfectly after the cleaning,   as far as I can tell there is a good connection but I need to remove some excess solder from the join, I have no multimeter unfortunately   I've used IEM cable with these before and the cable can drive them perfectly fine.

    Sounds off, only one side is functioning

    These headphones were originally bluetooth, I have removed the circuit boards and directly wired them to a y-splitting cable. I have kept the original headband wires and they are trimed/taped to prevent interference with my speaker terminals.   The original circuit board did have an issue that...
