Cheapest way to making custom earplugs while being safe?
Silicone caulk in one's ear is not a good idea. Most are acid curing and will release some amounts of acid and will burn, or at the very least irritate the hell out of the skin in the ears. Pure silicone caulk only would take too much time to set anyway. Now, oogoo could be a possibility...- deadsea

Question for an ATH-M50 modular headset mod
The 4 contact jack (TRRS) can accept the typical 3 contact plugs. You'll want that for the headphone side. Try mouser or RS if you're ok with buying online. Providing which country you're from might help too. :D And since you already have a boom mic, Why not just attach a jack to the end and...- deadsea

Does amazon ship headphones to Australia?? if not, where can I get it with 'Amazon price"??
Might want to have a look at DDelectronics. They do have an australian number you can call too. The prices are not Amazon good, but they're close enough to warrent a second look. I've bought some camera stuff from the Singapore branch before. There's even a discount for self pickup. The...- deadsea

Ironbuds - indestructable earbuds?
Well, thats a sort of but not quite scenario isn't it. I've had a fair few pairs of earphone cables break on me, but it's always been at the jack there, never in the middle of the wires and those things have a heck of a lot of jacks. From my previous experiences at least, if it doesn't get...- deadsea

Ironbuds - indestructable earbuds?
More like too many detachable cables. That 4 part Y split doesn't really serve any purpose does it? Well, maybe if the hp jack broke, but it just introduces another jack at the other end to break... And another 2 on the side of the driver connections? Yeah, more stuff to break/snap...- deadsea

Home-Made IEMs
Oh no, I'm not saying if it's good or bad. Just wanted to put the fact that it's biodegradable out there and preferably in caps and bold flashing neon lights.

Home-Made IEMs
Quote: The Polycaprolactone is very safe and it's bio-degradable too (Good? Bad?). There is the potential to need replacement every 2-3 years since in the proper conditions, it's supposed to fully break down in around 2 years. It's supposed to degrade faster when wet and exposed to...- deadsea

Custum Art Work On CIEMs
Waterslide decals? Like those used on models. There are places that do custom prints of those. Not all that lasting though. But that's pretty much the safest method. Really should consider contacting one of those reshelling companies if they are willing to just do the custom artwork for you...- deadsea

[FYI] Various IEM's tips pictorial comparison (updated Sept 29th, 2011)
Ah yes, apparently i was getting mixed up. Guess I'll stalk ebay for cheapish shipping or rummage through some china site for "oems". Thaks for offering to check though. ClieOS has mentioned that the meelec ones will fit, allbeit a bit loosely. And the irony that the soft flex greys are stiffer...- deadsea

[FYI] Various IEM's tips pictorial comparison (updated Sept 29th, 2011)
Would you mind posting back once you get to test out the Meelec Triflanges on the B2? I suspect they might not fit, as the tips appear to have a rather large bore from the pictures on the meelec site. I can't seem to find a local retailer that sells just the tips and the online prices for...- deadsea

Never forget your first...
EP-630. I've stepped on it a few times. Yanked it out accidently by the cable countless times, and wrapped it round a psp for the better part of 5 years. It's still wrapped round that same psp and is the gaming pair for my daily commute. B2s don't really give quite the same kick to monster roars. :p- deadsea

Brainwavz B2 Impressions & Discussion Thread
Does anyone know if the silicon tips for the B2 are knockoff shure ones? They're way too stiff and hurt after 40 mins or so. I'm thinking of getting the grey soft flex ones but don't have the time to pop down to a store to have a look. Heck, I don't even know if any stores around here carry...- deadsea

Re create the Vaccum like Feel of Beats/Bose

tips on how to colour in/fill audio technica logo on ATH M50
You could just lightly apply the pressure adhesive into the recessed area then press the foil into it with a rounded toothpick/q-tip etc. That assumes that you're using standard aluminium foil and not those speciality products that have the glue pre applied. You would then have to burnish any...- deadsea

Aluminium foil and some pressure type adhesive should work. Look up metal foiling for models. You can even replicate the brushed metal look. :D- deadsea

Quote: I'd doubt it's to do with the way I'm storing it. The typical coiled in the carrying case. And it was untwisting while in use. Maybe I just happened to bend in a strange way. But it stops untwisting at pretty much that point shown in the photo. The good news is that twisting...- deadsea

Here you go. You can see the slight unraveling of the cable too. Just remembered that I'm all out of sleeving and heat shrink. :rolleyes: Wonder if glue of some kind would be a good idea, just a tiny drop near the strain relief.- deadsea

I got mine with a straight plug. Which is a good thing. Not too crazy about L or 45 plugs. The cabling does look a tad flimsy though. It's already starting to untwist at the plug there after a few hours of use. I might just go ahead and sleeve/heat shrink it or something And it's either the...- deadsea

How do I determine which is the left and right terminals on an 3.5mm jack?
Aren't the Tip Ring Sleeves fixed in terms of signal or ground? As long as you know that, you should be able to trace back which is left right ground since the contacts in the plug need to be at the matching postions. Google should be able to get you that info. Search is not too handy for me at...- deadsea

My girlfriend destroyed my headphones.
Just cut off the damaged portion or close to the headphones and terminate with a socket to make a detachable cable of sorts. Far less likely to damage the drivers accidently. You can then use any 3.5 to 3.5mm cable that you may have lying around. Diagrams for the connections. Yours should...- deadsea
