I made closed back headphones with a wool-filled “transmission line” to dissipate the backwave

[Negs]

Hey everyone!

I’ve been making headphones for a little while and this is the first one I’m posting here.

As for this headphone, I got the idea from the Nautilus speaker. Using the same technology here to dissipate the backwave.

I call this model, “Blasphemy.”

It sounds pretty great to me (granted I’m biased) and more open than most closed-backs I have. There’s so much back-volume (and more damping material than could fit in a typical closed-back).

Anyway, thanks for reading. Lemme know if you want to see more designs and hit me up with any questions.

I do this for fun but if there’s any interest I may sell some (at cost of materials) on my website. I won’t post the link here lest I get called out for spam but if anyone’s interested let me know.

I'd buy this strictly for use on public transit, because I feel like I'd get a lot of extra space.

Hahahaha, thanks for the idea.

But realistically put on open back ones and at one notice tram is full except 3m diameter around where your sitting.
Have to admit of having done it couple of times.

Fantastic work, looks epic.
Have you tried smaller horns with more aggressive bends, or some loki horns.

New design

Those are wild looking! Could you explain more about how you decided to make them and how you chose the design you did for the tubes? Are they heavy?
