Made a very nice F1-style headphone. link
Aliexpress has 70mm headphone drivers but I dont want to risk that much dough especially since they arent exactly a new experience to me since having owned Blon BL30 which uses a variation on these Ali drivers, and have owned MA900. Anybody know what’s wrong with just using loudspeaker drivers aside from weight? Most loudspeaker drivers are 4-8ohms, that would be a problem for headphone amps? Then I can just use a speaker amp, right?
Hi Phillimon, your idea above is very good. I think you should look for Fostex's 50mm Bio-cellulose driver, or RP-HD10's 50mm Mdf driver. I think these 2 types of drivers are suitable for your project. Drivers from aliexpress are of extremely low quality. I've tried them before. If you use speakers, the 3.5 or 4.4 port does not have enough voltage, and most full-range speakers do not produce deep bass with traditional headphone drivers. Hope you keep updating your Diy projects!
