I'm thinking about building a custom set of cans with various materials I've collected over the years. I've got aluminum, titanium, delrin, exotic hardwoods, various high grade leathers, velour, etc. Basically everything you'd need to make a really great set of cans, minus the drivers.   A...

My boss sent me down to Fry's yesterday to pick up some things, including a set of headphones for use at my desk. I previously had picked up a set of Shure 440's, but returned them due to comfort issues. They were also extremely clinical. Great for recording/mastering, not so much for listening...

I've been using the search function on the forums for a week straight, and googling until I can't stand it any more. I started another thread, but tonight I realized that it wasn't really asking the right questions.   Previously I owned a set of JVC HARX900's. They were very nice sounding...

I've actually built my own ribbon tweeters back when I was in the car audio scene, and had somewhat admirable results (although still not 100% listenable). I'm thinking it may be fun to play with making electrostatic headphone drivers. Does anyone know of a forum or site that may have in depth...

I'm considering scratch building a set of cans for fun, but I really don't want to sink a massive amount of money into it. I have everything completely covered besides the drivers themselves... so basically I need some donor-phones. I would go with the Fostex ortho's, but that's pretty much...

Hi,   My boss has offered to buy me a nice set of headphones to use for a long project we're doing at work, and I'm having a bit of trouble deciding.   My price range is $100 or so, and I would like very comfortable, over the ear, preferably sealed phones. Foldable is a plus. Right now...

So, to start. I previously owned a set of HARX900's which I modded. I didn't enjoy the post-mod sound, so I sold them. I would actually say that most people would prefer them modded, but I need attenuated highs because my ears are sensitive, so the weak highs these come with stock is absolutely...

I just recently purchased my first decent set of cans (AD700's, LOVE them), and realized I hate laying them on my desk or hanging them over my monitor. I don't really like the look of the bananna stands I've seen, and I don't like the fact that they just have a narrow wire hook which deforms the...
