Fixed.
 
So, yes, the JVC drivers are much better than the original eMatic drives.
 
But since the JVC x570 is also a very cheap HP, I can only imagine that spending a bit more can make a bit difference.  Anyone would suggest a good pair of drivers around $40 or $50?

Did you read earlier in this thread where i linked to the mdr-v6 drivers for $20 each? Are they not 40mm?

another idea...

enter mdr in the prefix, driver for description, click on search. LOTS of results. MDR-v6/7506 (40mm) drivers are $20 each.

20$ each driver? isnt that too much, 40$  for a 70$ 'phone?
anyway, https://www.koss.com sells all ear cushions for their models at 5$ and free shipping in the US.
I ordered 1 of Koss MV1 but bow that i think of it ... it didnt said it was 1 pair
 
EDIT:contacted them, its 5$ the pair and 2 pair for the portapros and alikes.

I dunno, it's kind of counter-intuitive IMO. Walfredo asked for $40-50 drivers though, and I delivered
 
FWIW, Check the previous page in this thread....
 
Sennheiser has HD 25-SP II drivers for $35 each. Not sure if they're 40mm though. EH2200, and EH2270 are only $10 and $12 each for the drivers, mounted in earcups.

Thanks for the suggestions on the drivers, guys.
 
James, would the koss mv1 pads fit the ematic/kanen?  They look pretty good!

If you dont mind waiting two weeks for me to answer .. mines are on the way.
 
all i know is that the cups of both cans suppose to be between 2.5'' and 3''. and they do look good indeed.

 

[walfredo]

Cool.  Please let us know when you get them.

I am quite sure that every pad that has the right diameter would fit these, the problem is the size but I think that beyer or AKG or Senn is making something in that size, with velour or cloth pads..

the mv1 pads are too large- i had some floating around a while back. they are also vinyl and get hot pretty quick
 

 

[walfredo]

Thanks, ourfpshero.  Do you know of pad that would work?  Would the Koss UR55 pad do it?

[JamesMcProgger]

lol what am I gonna do with a pair of the MV1 pads now?
 
I'm gonna use a sony XD200 40mm driver and try to make the woodies single side cable, hopefully detachable. but yet i have no idea what to do with the pads and the headband, suggestions are welcome.

 

[walfredo]

So, the Kanen pads are 70mm.  This is some 70mm on ebay for $7 which look okay.
 
I wonder if there is a way to find out the size of the Koss pads.  Some of them look very cool.

did you forgot any link? looks like.
and agreed on the koss pads and they are also cheap, 5$ the pair, ill read further but i think the best way to find out is to ask around here to koss owners, i have the QZ99 but the pads are oval shaped.
