BTW great rewire job!

how do you guys take apart the cans?

I used a screwdrive for mine, but the scratches up the plastic housing, luckily its covered by the pads

that looks real nice. can you explain how you got your Y joint to look so clean? I'm having some trouble figuring that out.

is it just adhesive backed heat shrink that was cut and pinched together then? If so, how do you keep the seams tight while heatshrinking it?

Hair dryer. We took a hair dryer and held it close to the cups for about a minute, then twisted them apart. Worked amazingly well, and allowed for fairly easy glue cleanup afterwards.

Thanks for the nice comments!

We shrank the individual leads with narrower pieces of shrink, and then pinched a larger piece of adhesive shrink over top of them. It worked out a lot cleaner than just the pinched larger piece over the two bare leads.

The inside of the cans (as an fyi) have a zip tie with shrink over it as well for strain relief. Don't believe I mentioned that in the first post.

The heat would probably shrink the plastic diaphragm. I have heard of people fixing loose (rattly bass) headphone drivers with hair dryers by shrinking the driver a bit. I think the sonic signature must change a bit when this happens...
