heya, sorry for not uploading pics earlier... totally forgot about it =[   http://i55.tinypic.com/xsmqv.jpg   worked out really well, used tape to mask off the main parts then covered it up with vaseline. i'd recommend using vaseline as well, since its such a small piece of work. i...

in that case i'll be replacing the fibred wires inside the cans with ordinary copper wire.. i'm under the assumption that there wont be any quality loss though.   ill probably have to hot glue the chassis so it wont wiggle around and possibly damage the solder connections.   on another...

hey guys, quick question.   i got around to doing the removeable cable mod on my m50's, went ok for a first time diy.   anyways, problem is, the wires running from the circuit board to the female jack i added for the mod were weakened and i had to replace one of the original wires with a...

awesome! if possible, post pics of the process and finished result and comments in this thread please   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/486173/custom-ear-pads-pics/30#post_7624132   thread for custom pads

wow, finally we get to see the insides of a modded m50!   is there possibly another way to make the socket fit without melting the driver case? bit worried about possibly damaging the driver..

ah thats the thing, i also need something to test on which has the similar feel and build of the plastic used on the headphones... i cant think of anything like it besides my computer monitor (lol) which i am in no position t spraypaint haha..    

ok, i went out and bought a can of spraypaint tday from my local hardware store.. 10 bucks a can... quite expensive.. anyway, just a heads up and a quick request for tips on spraying(stuff like applying many thin coats etc) before i get stuck in and give it a go on my m50's.   yea i...

ok thanks, ill keep all that in mind haha im in australia, and everything here is expensive, so i try to buy stuff on ebay, partially why i havent actually got much stuff yet.   i havent actually got my hands on any heatshrink tubing YET, which is why im asking so many questions; if i did...

does it keep shrinking and shrinking until it gets tight around the cable or is there a limit for each size? just wondering if i need to be specific in diameter size for my recable job.   also, a normal hairdryer is fine for the shrinking right?   the only stuff on ebay are like 20mm...

heres the one i bought in case anyone wants to take a look   http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190494367117&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT   it has a blue handle...

so i shouldnt be worried about it burning a hole through the driver of my m50's? i've soldered before, mostly at school, but it was for bigger metalwork, not some tiny headphone board.   also, for how long should the tip be touchng the board when i solder? someone told me that i had to...

hi, a little back i ordered a soldering iron off ebay, its 60W, 220V, and doesnt have a heat adjuster or anything, just an iron that plugs into the wall.   ill be using it for my ath m50 removeable cable mod, as well as making my own cables and stuff.   im just worried that noone else...

i thought of a very crude way... something along the lines of adding glue/hardener of some sort to the small ring needed to make the attachment piece.. adding pva glue to fabric, as i have experienced before, does indeed harden the fabric. however it may not be the best solution as it...

ok well i tried a very experimental dud piece without the bit to attach to headphone, used a really thin cotton fabric (like the stuff business shirts are made of, just 100% cotton tho,) and stuffed with cotton balls.   dunno how it sounds, cuz i made it too small(not fat enough) and the...

  Quote: the foil and the pressure adhesive WOULD work, except in this case the logo is a recessed cavity which makes getting the foil into the cavity a whole lot harder, especially if you want one (or a few layers of) cutouts of the logo which you can paste down.   unless someone...

also, i have another question. why do you need to measure the circumference then minus 2 inches? wouldnt that make it smaller than he original pad?

Quote: thats a great idea, however i get the feeling that the pad would be loose and would fall off the headphones with just a light tug..

hey, ill probably look into making my own pads, as my m50's pleather ones are really uncomfortable and are getting stiff. great tutorial, and seems quite easy to do, but i have one question,   you pulled apart your old pads to reuse the bit that slips onto the phones, but is there another...

hey guys, im looking for a plug for my m50 removeable cord mod, and i found one (very cheap) off ebay, but im a bit worried about the quality, also theres no brand name...

ah i see, thanks a lot. i placed an order on the helping hands so now all i got to do is wait for all my stuff to arrive. ill post pics of my m50's soon(~a month's time)

heys guys, im also going to mod my m50's, and i got a few questions, if you'll hear me out i ordered a soldering iron and solder, off ebay, cuz i dont have one yet and it was so cheap! jus wondering if the soldering iron and solder is right for the job: iron...

thanks for the tip. but do i need to use a finisher and does the surface need to be buffed before hand?   im asking because ill need to go buy everything for the job, so i dont want to make multiple trips. and also for the best results.

ok, i guess spray paint will look fine as well.. do i need to scuff up the surface with sandpaper before painting, and is some kind of finisher needed as well?   im not to familiar with the wholespray painting thing..

hey guys, ive been lurking around for a while, but needed help on something so this is my first post =)   anyways, im just trying to make my ath m50 look better by colourinhg/filling the audio technica logo on either side of the cans, cuz i reckon it looked a bit plain with just one ring of...
