Couldn't find your listing, but I found this one from the same seller (Teacher Tang's DIY store :dt880smile:): https://www.taobao.com/list/item/684278408455.htm Seems to be the fou-42 (non pro) Quite low price for the ones I found (about 85$), lowest I've seen for a planar, but I might be...

Found this in this thread, I would suggest you transplant the entire driver plate into a new shell. The driver itself I believe is 97mm x 76mm, same as sendy avia.

I am not quite sure what you mean but I understand it as: you want to transfer the drivers from your pair of hf580 into this casing. Is this correct? It doesn't say on the page but I believe the casing is for round dynamic drivers only (albeit 70mm is unusual). The plate with the orthodynamic...

Just wanted to post a quick update on my modded okcsc zx-1. At the moment I run my special-sauce pads (phillips shp-890 with akg k550 foam) and where these before would create an increadibly bass heavy headphone, i have experimented with blocking the rear ports of the driver with hockey-tape...

Let me guess, it sounds like you are in the middle of this barrel? The first radial mode/resonance of a circular duct (coinciding with the sound source being in the middle) is described by f=3.84/pi*c/d. Where f is the frequency, c is the speed of sound and d is the diameter of the duct/barrel...

Lol, that's a new market segment: Rugged audiophile headphones.

You might have some luck with a single lap of hockey tape where the pads are mounted to the headphone. This will also increase the seal.

Well, some times you want music to sound distant, such as classical. And for 24$ I am willing to be limited to such music with them, since I already have other more intimate headphones. It kinda depends tho on how they sound other than "distant"

To me that sounds like they could have a great soundstage.

Nice, can't wait for further sound description. I have mostly moved out of this price class but these seem so unique that I might just pick up a pair.

Looks awesome, do you do calculations or acoustic simulations to get a good frequency response or a trial and error process to make it sound good?

That is a whole science and two different headphones can react very differently to the same pads. One thing that is true most of the time is that the denser (or covered in pleather) the pad, the more the region below 500hz shoots up

To put it simple: Can audio circuitry be bought super cheap from china: yes Can high quality audio circuitry be bought from china super cheap: no The chi-fi bargains that has come out in recent years either boil down to either low to mid end wired headphones or low end wireless stuff Also, if...

How large are the helios pads? The page shows a dimensions measurement but the image is too low res to see the numbers :/

Anyone know if there is like a goodie bag of headphone pads from china? Would love to make my modding adventures easier by just having a crap ton of pads to swap with and because of static import fees, ordering single pairs are expensive

That is one definiton. I usually try to keep with: 20-200Hz is bass, 200-2000hz is mid range and 2000-20000Hz is treble. Then also 2x-5x hz is the low of a section (for example 200hz to 500hz is the low midrange), 5x-10x hz is the mid subpart and 10x-20x hz is the high subpart. I use this...

I guess everone has their own definition on what parts of the spectra are bass, mids and highs

Now wait just a minute, you describe the mids of the hf580 as recessed???

Just look at my FR plot on the previos page, it depends on what you mean by bright. This headphone has a non-warm mid range and quite a bit of high treble energy so that may be what some people refer to. I wouldn't describe it personally as "dark" though (not in the same way i thought the hd700...

The sound of these two is differently tilted, so a direct comparison is hard. As for the cable; it's fine. i have no issues with the cable, it's thick and rubber but sturdy. You can easily run it over with a chair

From what I have read, the gl2000 (to simplify a bit) sound like a high end planar headphone. Good thing that segment is starting to come down in price. Most likely would the extra magnet layer have the largest influence on the time spectra (damping), but I guess the extra layer might be in the...

Dude, I feel your pain, had a mild heart attack a few days ago. Thought it would be a good idea to clean the drivers of my sennheiser hd590's. Little did I realize the super thin wires from the coil where exposed when you take them apart and It wasn't fun when only one channel worked afterwards...

What parts of the graph do you mean correspond to soundstage? The only test I know of is that test rtings do with and without the silicone ear. The 700hz resonance I would believe is a structural resonance since it is so sharp, the only method I have seen in this thread to fix it was that dude...

Been working on a version 3 of my measurement setup, now with pinnae alongside 17 unique herbs and spices. I am not fully satisfied with the method that I used to get the correction curve (Basically EQ:ing my Sennheiser hd280 pro yield the same graph on my measurement head as Rtings got), but I...

A Christmas cheer from over here. :) So I ordered a bluetooth reciever aswell as a 10 000 mAh powerbank and I am happy to present the next step in portable audio technology. In an instant, the products of today became the products of yesterday. Say goodbye to the Apple Airpods, for the...
