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

    I finally put up my post about the headphones I'm chopping up, so I can get back to this.  I think there is a good chance the oculus is going to be a big thing in gaming, so I though I'd post what little I looked at.  There are a lot of ski goggle attachments, as has been posted already (like...

    SounDesign Model 338 overhaul.

    So now I want to ask what sort of cans I should look for to chop up next.  It would be nice to get some good ear pads along with the drivers, as well.   I would like some big, roomy ear pads.  The Sony XB5/700 look interesting, but I'm not sure about that kind of price for something I'm just...

    SounDesign Model 338 overhaul.

    I'm looking for a little better headset for my pc.  I have a pair of HD681's and T50rp's, but those are going in other rigs.  I wanted something comfy, that would sound decent, and would cost me more time than money.  I am also a bit enamored with the vintage look, so I decide to grab a new...

    I sorta talked myself out of that by the end of the post, lol.  Does Koss source their drivers directly, because the KSC-75 driver (or variant) would probably be a good price/performance option?

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

    I was also thinking about the driver from the T50rp (ortho), or perhaps the sealed driver capsule thingy out of a Senheisser (I've only seen the HD201 myself, but it sounds like many of the cheaper Senn's have them).  Then again, any on ear hp would work.  It's really just a matter of making a...

    That last bit looks sooo sarcastic, and I can't edit it...  I would actually like to know which cans you're talking about for $100.

    Regarding the "same from any source": learn to read, read the review and comments again and then roconsider your post.    "Easy to drive = sounds quite the same from any source;"  odd wording, but I think I understand what you're saying now.  I'm just saying, in my experience, these headphones...

    Average for $100?  What other cans for a Benjamin match it modded; I would like to check them out...  I don't think there is any way these sound the same from any source.  Amping makes a big difference, unless you just have a lot of high output sources.  And the mods tend to be more than the sum...

    Need advice for rolling my CMOY...

    I have an eBay CMOY (9v), OPA2132 and OPA2227 chips, and primarily use T50rp's (on the advice of a member here -- you ROCK, whoever it was...)   When I got the CMOY, it came with the 227.  Tuning the T50rp's was a bit weird; it didn't seem to respond like it was supposed to.  The main issue...

    Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!

    Quote: After a $100 impulse buy, I think a $16 pair of pads (Shure 840) is a no-brainer.  They improved comfort a bit, and really brought the cans to life, particularly on the low end.

    Quote: I just got the Shure pads today, and man, were you right!  I ended up putting a little cotton in the cups, along with sealing them, and they sound great.  Now we'll see if I can leave well enough alone...   I don't think it can be overstated how much of a difference the pads...

    Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!

    I got my T50RP's about a week ago, and need a little advice on modding them.  I've been over BMF's guide (a lot), but some of the effects of the various pieces of the mod's are hard to isolate.  Now, I should mention that I don't have my Shure pads yet, so I'm not certain how that will change...

    New headphone suggestions please

    We'll say less than $100, but value is important.  If you have really good reason to say more, I'll listen.   Crap, I forgot to mention that I'll listen mostly at my pc (xonar dg), so higher end stuff is probably wasted.

    New headphone suggestions please

    Presently I have a pair of HD201's, and I love the amount of detail I got for my $16.  Last week I tried a friends new Steelseries Siberia V2's, and was surprised about what I thought.  I didn't like the relative lack of detail, but I actually enjoyed the wider soundstage (headstage?), loved the...

    I need some quick advice...

    This will cross over into diy a bit, but I need a baseline before I make that post.  My gear is pretty cheap, but I like ringing the value out of my dollars... even if it requires a soldering iron.  What am I talking about?  Especially if it requires a soldering iron.   First, what I have...
