found this, it's very helpful http://www.head-fi.org/t/413900/how-to-equalize-your-headphones-a-tutorial

hello, I want to make myself another pair of headphones that have descent sound quality. I have a molds for some parts and i'm planning on making them out of fiber glass. I know very little about sound (but if I you show me a picture/diagram of what you're saying I will understand it) so I was...

Quote:   i've been working on making my own headphones too, there's some information here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/623934/hand-built-custom-headphones but you'll have to read through alot of not very helpful comments. there's some realy good information in there sometimes though

Quote: lol no quite. i didn't have any headphones and i wanted some so i made a pair. i have listened to music threw other things, not just noise canceling beats and super cheap earbuds. i had a pair of skullcandy ink'd earbuds which broke and they replaced with ink'd supream. i also have...

Quote: ya i guess i did kind of underestimate this... oh well giving up's bad for you. i know the equipent and software isn't really up to par but i never intended these headphones to be crazy awsome sounding, i just want something better than those stupid, horrid, annoying, popular, waste...

i assume i need a speeker in one of the cups to do the tests. should i get a realy nice speaker to do that, or can i use my greeting card speakers?

oh, sweet then i know my school has some mics that are usable!

Quote: are they kind of like a condenser mic, just more expensive?

ok i'll ask my teacher about it tomorrow.are measurement microphones just supper nice mics? I've never heard of one.

Quote: i have access to a large number of programs and some nice mics because i'm taking audio vidio class and the teacher runs a radio station, has nice equipment, and likes my headphone idea. Quote: thanks! it really can get annoying being told you can't do somthing, especially...

dose FiiO make good mini amps? they make the cheapest amps i can get wholesale.
