I'm building a switch for headphones to switch between stereo, mono, left-only mono, and right-only mono operation. Obviously the stereo position just passes the signal through.    Since I normally use headphones with an impedance around 30ohms the mono position should have a 20 ohm...

I finally have some time to work on the custom 'phones I've been designing for a while now. One of the last thing I have to work out is a built in switchable impedance adaptor. The drivers I'm using are the DT48E 25ohm assemblies.   Some people have reported using an impedance adaptor with...

Now that I have a little bit of free time I'm finally getting down to making a pair of headphones I've been dreaming about. The idea is to make the most tank like headphones possible (with-in reason, but we are talking about things like a solid milled aluminium body, gimbal mounted cups, etc.)...

I have an ElectroVoice 642, the first shotgun microphone. Also won the Academy Award in the 1960s, first thing like this to do so. Looks great, has the adapter since this uses a Cannon UA3-11 plug, a rare and strange plug (what came before the XLR we now all know and love). I am thinking...

The question is does the steel being ferrous make it a bad choice for a headphone cup? Does aluminum's inductance make it a bad choice? Thank you all you people who actually know about this sort of science. Your answers will be rewarded when I make this thing (I hope).

Just posting to get down my thoughts before I forget them. I today got my ATH-AD1000s in the mail. I am going to be doing lots of intense listening over the weeks and will then write a review of them (as no longer reviews exist for these) comparing them to my Grado 325i's. Here are some...

Before being bothersome and PMing those of you who I know have owned the AD2ks or AD1ks, what is the word on burn-in? I did a search and got mixed results. Either the AD1000s (which I have coming soon thanks to a huge sale) need no burn-in or "hundreds of hours". I hate to listen to 'phones...

I know these headphones get a bad rep, but right now they are $250 and get free shipping over at Musicians Friend: Buy Audio-Technica ATH-AD1000 Open Air Dynamic Headphones | Studio Headphones | Musician's Friend Though they are pretty much exclusively classical and jazz cans from what...

I figured I might let you guys know about this project. I'm an art school student currently, and we had an assignment to do an abstract portrait of some aspect of some group, and I choose to do audiophiles who love headphones. For this I read a lot, and I do mean A LOT, of threads on here...
