I'm a bit intrigued by trying out a 120 ohm adapter, like the Oelbach.

But maybe it isn't too difficult to make one?
Anyone got a How-to for me?

I couldn't find any on Headwize.

Very easy, it's just a 120 Ohm resistor in series with each channel

Excellent, good stuff!

Although...would've enjoyed some pics...

Another thing.
If you want to try out other resistors, it's just to add those instead?

Thanks!

i used a 100 ohm resistor, is there much difference between 100 and 120 ohms?

probably about 20 ohms or so

Just incorporate a 120ohm resistor in series with each channel and solder them into a 6.3mm jack or into the adaptor socket: http://www.rock-grotto.co.uk/etymotic.htm

Basically you are just soldering a 120 ohm resistor in series with both the left channel and right channel.... ie: imagine the cable was chopped in half.... you would connect the resistors as shown in the pic.

Hey! Whaddya know, pics!

Thanks, that looks do-able.
Or...you wouldn't happen to have any of those Ety adapters lying around, just wanting to be sold?

I remember a guy on Ebay selling ER4P ohm adapter.. Is this what you're looking for?
