Here's a little back story. I recently bought an MSI Wind netbook. I like it, except that the speakers are unbearably terrible. It brings the phrase "cans" to a whole new level, and I can't take it. I've already disassembled the laptop a few times, and the speaker drivers are most definitely 20mm. The only problem being I can't find a single pair of headphones with 20mm drivers in them to do the old swap. Last night I bought the smallest-looking headphones I could find that weren't earbuds and still the drivers were 30mm, and would definitely not fit in the laptop.
Here are the ideal requirements: Headphones with a somewhat open design and 20mm drivers. I will settle for closed or plastic-backed supra-aural cheapies, but I would rather not spend less than $20 (but I will if recommended) or more than $40-50 (since this is going to be a hack job anyway and the SQ will for sure be lower than the original design)
Impedance and such be damned, because I'm doing this one way or another and I figure as long as its "loud enough" it should be ok. High efficiency would be nice, though.
I will post pictures of the job upon request. :-o
