Just need to pick up some solder and I'll be ready to go...
Indeed...these were slightly different this time around...
1. No ridge for the drivers to sit against inside the cup (easily remedied with a thin strip of foam tape).
2. The holes for the headband gimbals go all the way through the walls, they aren't just indents.
3. The last pair needed foam strips around the edge of the drivers to seat them firmly, this pair fit absolutely perfectly, no need for any foam.
Still gorgeous workmanship.
glad to hear this!
Last time I ordered a pair of these, it was right around the time you also ordered your last pair, so they were like you described above. Having to use tape to fit them in snug was a bit of a turn off. Also, I'm glad to hear the holes for the headband go all the way through as opposed to the other way.
Tempting!.....
^ha! I should've mentioned FOAM tape to be more specific.
Last time around, I had the Turbulent labs Vibro cups, and a pair of Cabillas' cups. While Cabillas' cup had a slightly snugger fit, it still needed foam tape to hold them in there. I'd be perfectly happy with thinner tape such as electric tape.
EDIT: Thick foam tape
It requires a vice and some patience. I did it on mine. Andhonstly, if you want my Sr 80i housings I'd be willing to give then to ya
