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...

http://www.earplugstore.com/jbcuearpl.html $100+ commercial custom fits ones or the $10 Self custom fit earplugs. Can even toss on a pair of earmuffs if they don't block out everything.

This might help with spraying tecniques. http://www.spruecutters.com/techniques/141-video-tutorial-6-spraying-gloss-paint-from-a-spray-can.html But if you really want a high gloss finish, you will need to do a fair bit of sanding to get the surfaces totally smooth before the primer > gloss...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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. I've actually seen a website dedicated to trashing the material because some idiot decided that it's a good idea to make artworks out...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

That reinflating ear pads sound very much like memory foam. Maybe visit a computer store and see if the laptop cases there feel anything like the pads. Or maybe a furniture shop for the memory foam pillows. Those coupled with that thread about DIY earpads should provide for a good number of...

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...

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

Quote: That's a possibility. I'll give it a spin once I get around to be able to be using the B2s again. Thanks! Hope they last good and long since I do like they way they sound.

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...

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.

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...

The B2 pre-orders are just being sent out so i doubt you can get any impressions. Mine are still either in HK or on a plane/truck/warehouse somewhere and the only other pair of earphones i have is the EP-630. Not quite comparison material.   The early impressions thread is here.  ...

Anyone know the bit rate for FM transmitters? IF it's high enough, that might be a viable option. Should be a lot less invasive for the vehicle too.

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...

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...
