Do you guys think making a headphone pad would be difficult? I plan to make some Beyer like velour pads, attempting to mimic the C-pads by headphile.

I have all the tools I need. Fabric, stuffing, sewing machine, etc.
Any opinions? Has this been done before?

If you're skilled at working with fabric and whatnot, I figure it shouldn't be too difficult.
I would bet it's been done many times before.

I'm thinking about making some circumaural pads for supraaural headphones, I'll probably look into it when I have more free time.

I'm still wondering how the main padding (the donut) made.

Maybe somewhat like the J$ pads...

I think as far as the foam goes, you just carve a donut out of a block. I've done some tinkering myself. Tricky part is the fabric, for sure. This is where I failed miserably.

Hand sew or machine?

I was thinking as combo of foam and polyfill.

So far (not done), the "donut" is too thin... sigh

Still working.

YES!!! GREAT results with the DIY pads.

Cost less than $5 for a pair...

They look really authentic. Building the the Grado adapter tomorrow.

Do you guys want pics?

Hand-sewn velour pads... carved foam on the inside... Simply amazing!

4 inch diameter and the disc is 1/2 inch thick, 1 inch tall. Going to add a silk/plastic base so the pads don't lose their shape.

Next... C-PADS!! Watch out headphile!
