Thats a nice update to the kit, i have the original nutube kit and i still haven't put it together lol.

What sounds good is such a subjective thing. One of my favorite and most used op amps is the jrc4558 in the to-5 metal package. Something about this chip just hits all the right spots.

When you build the cmoy if you increase the capacity of the input and or output capacitors you will change the roll-off and it will give you a warmer sound. If I was home I could tell you exactly the size I use but it's been a while since I built my last one. I have well over a dozen similar...

Old thread but hopefully still monitored, do you still have the grado cup model? Would be cool to print a set with this new bamboo/pla filament i got.

Hello, Ill keep right to the point and please do ask questions if you have any.   So far i know you have headphone speakers, jacks and cables. What you need is a good housing to put the speakers in, Construction hearing protectors are my first choice, they are large so it will fit the large...

The renderings look great, what did you come up with for the headband? i gave up trying to print one because of straight issues so i repurpused one from a 60's headphone off ebay. Three of my printed hp's can be found in this thread.   http://www.head-fi.org/t/716835/3d-printed-headphones-wip

Tiesto   Edit:

  For some reason i had it in my head the alpha pads were double that price, just placed my order. 

Well i guess it's all relative but that's why i used the word inexpensive and not cheap. Ill never drop $200+ just for some foam and a dozen square inches of leather. If you want to go the route of making your own check out using a form and press to create your shape so with say a donut you only...

Can anyone recommend a brand that makes inexpensive real leather ear pads? Needed for t50rp and my dt770 compatible 3d printed headset. My ears are setting tired of all the knockoff junk pads being sold on amazon, they are never that comfy and they fall apart way to fast with daily use.  ...

Okay so it's a FIIO E18 knock off with less features for the same price. 

What country are you in? It might end up costing you more to have it recabled then to just buy a new pair. Now if you know someone who can help with the soldering you could get a real cheap iem to use the cable from and if you check out the pictures in this thread you get a good view of the...

Yeah most of us buy a cheap headset (made for android or iphone) and use its cable with mic assembly to replace the old cable. It's almost impossible to diy a new cable that wont be really stiff and the parts cost is a bit high. 

How do you like the sound after modding? Should have added more punch to the low bass. Great find with those surface mount capacitors, they are so compact you wont even know its modded.   Your English is fine, we try not to use so,the,but or and to often because you end up with a run-on...

Nice hardware hack, yeah i know this is a dead thread but who cares.

If you don't mind the cable getting an inch shorter just have someone cut, strip and solder the wires back together and yes at least 3 sections of heat shrink tubing will have to be used. This type of wire is often call magnet wire as its used for electromagnets and enamaled wire because instead...

I wouldn't solder right to the pads of the driver if it can be helped but that magnet wire can be a real pain to strip and solder. Be quick when you solder on the pads and make sure not to touch the inner to pads as they hold the almost invisible coil wires soldered in place. Also make sure you...

You could do something like this http://www.rock-grotto.co.uk/B-tech.htm Id put in a IC socket so you can try out a few different op amp's and swap out the cap's like what was done in that link. Don't bother replacing resistors that's pointless long as they are the right resistance. Then maybe...

  Looks sharp, how much finishing work did you have to do? My solidoodle tends to make a mess of my prints and have to spend some time with a file for a good fit.

  He's saying you would run 12 wires, 6 to each side all the way down to your trs jack. so yes there would still be a y off but you wont have to solder extra ground wire because you will already have enough wires running the full length.

Okay well its not the impedance its the sensitivity per mw that matters, 24ohm is harder to drive then 50ohm headphones but those 24ohm headphones could have a better sensitivity rating so they will get louder. You might just need to get a better pair of headphone drivers, i like the philips hdj...

I have built something similar with some 3m hearing protectors, just remove the drivers from any full size double ended(cable goes into each side) headphone and carefully unsolder the the wires. Drill holes in each side just big enough for the cable to pass through then feed it in and solder the...
