Anyone know if Nhoord is still in business? I was hoping to buy drivers but the website is down

WOW, I just tried the site and noticed it also. I hope its just a transition period.

Same here, I assume they’re updating the site post Christmas!

@DavidA
Just put Nhoord.com into my browser and this came up! Don’t use a bookmark or you’ll get the error message.

Wow, something magical is going on...

I contacted Jaco and he responded immediately. He said he's still in business and his website was transferred to a new server, which explains the issues over the past few days. Looks like searching for the website on Google works now

Sorry if it's already mentioned here but does the Red v2 sound different than Red v1?

Yes, the V1 is not as extended in the highs and lows as the V2 but this is pretty much all I remember since I sold the V1 build a long time ago.

Hey guys, just thought I’d give you a heads up that ShipiboAudio on Etsy have got alloy Custom Grado gimbals and rodblocks available! https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/586882083/aluminum-gimbals-and-rodblocks-set-for?ref=hp_rv

That's interesting. I emailed them 2 weeks ago and still have not had any response at all.

A very interesting mod currently under experimentation by @DavidA

Looking forward to hearing how this pans out.

Noob question here. I tried googling but I'd feel much more comfortable getting an answer from someone here.

I'm building Nhoord headphones with detachable mini xlr cables. I chose this because I already have ZMF and Audeze cables.

Question is, what poles on the jack do I solder the driver to? I'll attach a pic here.
Thanks in advance to anyone that may be able to help

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help David. It was actually much easier than I expected. Here's the final product. Cups are Leopardwood from SpinAF. Gimbals from ShipiboAudio. Pads and Headband from BeautifulAudio. And the driver is of course Nhoord



Got to say it's the most comfortable headphone I've ever used. Better HD 650 and HE 560. The mids really surprised me. I've read some people say the Nhoord drivers are U are V shaped, but from my experience that's not the case. Mids appear to be quite neutral and aren't as present as an HD 650's. I'm sure these pads have something to do with it. The treble is slightly recessed, but I prefer it that way as I'm sensitive to spikes. I'm more than pleased with this build.

@BaseRobber , really nice work. I'm curious about the ear pads from Beautiful Audio, they look like leather and I've always wanted to know how they impact the sound. Do you have any regular pads (Grado L or generic G pads) to make a comparison with the Beautiful Audio pads?
