What ear pads fit these?

 

[Jean Corriveau]

I ordered pleather and velour HM5 ear pads as well as Kennerton ECL-02 ear pads for the prototype. HM5 ear pads would come standard and Kennerton ECL-02 as an upgrade but we'll have to test them first.

The Munich High-End Show each May is apparently the one to see.

It's kind of far though. Requires a bigger budget.

Guys, here's a look at the first pieces of my DIY heaphones prototype. There's more ready too but I didn't have much time to take pictures because the guys at the workshop had to go back to work.

Nice, are they made out of wood?
 
What's the wood piece on the right side of the main body for?

Yes they are made out of wood. This first prototype is made in pine but the next ones will be made in linden. The wood piece on the right is to close the cup and the aluminium ring is to open it (an hexagonal grill will be attached to it).

You should put a little review in the Non grado driver thread, would be lots of interest there.
