Originally saw the link on abi. Thought people here might find it interesting. And hopefully seeing that even high end phones use things like regular old solder and wires will silence some of the recabling crowd.

YouTube - How It's Made Headphones

Great video.

The headphone is AKG K702.

Oh, I haven't checked ABI in two days or so, I'll have to go there again. Thanks for the link, I'm certain it'll be great and interesting (If only I can get sound working in youtube. Perhaps I'll switch to the 32-bit plugin temporarily over the 64-bit)

Thanks for the post!

I wonder how does grado do it

.... I doubt they would even make the casting for the show

"...the choice of music will be silent to all but the one wearing the headphone..."

Uh-huh, except that they're open headphones.

I was thinking the same thing

I suppose they did a headphone montage at the end which included some closed designs lol

nice that'll give some idea of how to mod the headphone as well, very nice video.

Thanks. I usually watch How it's Made, but I must have missed this episode. I've worked in manufacturing (from the engineering perspective) for over 15 years now since graduating and really appreciate the layout of the factory, tooling and subtle mistake proofing that was incorporated in their manufacturing process. Must be why we don't hear too many complaints of AKG headphones that crap out.

What a difference when comparing it to Grado's mom and pop shop.

But in the end, I still prefer the Grado sound (but still very much appreciate AKG's sound as well).

Too bad they don't have a factory in Canada.

I felt the video was nice, as everyone want to know more on grado labs
