Interesting. Hopefully I can make them within the next couple of weeks and see how it goes.

I was thinking about laser cutting rings out of 1/4 inch mdf and stacking them to firm the cup. Could use 123d make to do the stacking for me. There would be a lot of glue though haha.

Hey there, I've done a little searching but haven't seen anything come up. Has anyone tried making cups out of mdf? I've seen pvc and the many different wood iterations but not mdf. Seems as though it might be interesting to try  since its generally so tonally neutral in speaker boxes.

Quote: I actually just got the HD 439s myself. I have only had them for 2 days now but I really like them. I am running them unamped right now and they are doing quite well. An amp would definitely make a difference. They can run fine off of my mac book pro and with my ipod Classic turned...

Hey everyone! Just looking for some thoughts on my potential new rig.   Right now i have Sennheiser HD439 that i use with my ipod and macbook pro (unamped). I am thinking doing a major upgrade to my home setup:   Macbook Pro > Fiio E9 with docked E7 > AKG Q701   I was thinking...

Hi there, I want to retrofit an older pair of Sony MDR XD100 headphones with a better driver. I'd like to use them as just kind of every day/beater headphones that are good quality. I was wondering if anyone knows a good driver and where I can find it. I've heard about these SFI ribbon...
