Franken880's Beta Version
 
 

 
 

 

 

 
 
They flat fold, they swivel 360 degrees, they are lightweight they fold and collapse into a small little thingy, the sound just as bad as they look :'(

wow- you guys are taking off with this!
 
just an update. i posted a while back my daughter took these. she has asked for a shorter cord (i'll get to it someday), and has refused higher end cans i have offered her like an ath-es7

 

[walfredo]

Very cool, James!!
 
I was able to draw the holes in my cut (although in one of the 4 holes, I did chipped a bit of the wood).  I'm waiting for a friend's help to solver the drivers.  Will post pictures when done.

How do you dare to call the franken880's "unpretty"?!!!

 
Come on Walfredo, i want to see yours, you can borrow my soldering gun if you wish

you guys are insane. but I love you for this. I will donate my KM880 to anyone that is willing to pay shipping. 

 

[walfredo]

Thanks, Negakinu!!  I just finished my second mod (see next post)... and am looking forward for the third time.  But the shipping from the Netherlands to California should be the same as me buying another KM880.

 

[walfredo]

Well... it actually worked, folks!!!  Behold the W-2:
 

 

 

 

 

 
The details:  My friend got sick and I got no one to solder the drivers.  (Where do you live, James? I think I'm going to try the W-3 at some point...  So, I could not use the driver of the Labtec, as I was planning.  Instead, I used the drivers of a Sennheiser HD-202 (40mm with 2 cables, so it worked without soldering).
 
The sound is actually reasonable.  It has much better bass than the JVC drivers I used in the first mod.  It is more comfortable to wear too.  The fact that the cups rotate make is easier to wear them.  And the little chips of wood in the cups I did what making the holes are actually hard to see.  You have to call attention to them for people to see.  If you stay quite, no one notices.
 
I did took much more work though.  Simply exchanging the drivers is a very straightforward mod.  This one is a bit more involved.  The cups of the KM880 do not fit perfectly on the Labtec headband.  I had to cut and sandpaper quite a bit.

It just occurred to me, James:  Did you damp the cups to control the bass?  I used cotton on mine mods and made a big (positive) difference.
 
Also, what did you use for headband?
