Hey hey hey
Went thrifting today and found a pair of Solo HDs, no fakes, the real deal. Only headphones, tho, no cables or anything. Made a new cable for them and tried them out. Oh boy, $150 new, what a crock of sh!t. Don't like the sound at all. Maybe would be okay if they were like $50 new, maybe I'd consider. But that's not the biggest problem. Left driver keeps cutting in and out. Tried resoldering all the solder joints, didn't help. I don't want to throw them out, they look cool, are built well and have good isolation and comfort.
Now I'm looking for drivers to put in. Anyone got any recommendations what to look for in a driver that would work well in a small, sealed enclosure?
The original drivers look like Chinese poop. Titanium diaphragms, but looking at the back you can see their generic-ness. They are 2-way headphones and have a tweeter and a crossover in there in front of the driver, which is a cool designs, I'll give them that.
If you guys have any ideas whag to do with them, let me know. Meanwhile, I'll be looking for replacement drivers to do the swap.
