• Drilled holes for the square bend, and put it in.
• Put leds in his eyes and wired them to the sound activator
• Dremeled out place for ipod dock.
• Filled it up with plaster(came hollow).
• Added plaster to smooth out ears.

Don't tell me he's a CD3000 user too!?!?

 

[Sovkiller]

Well this was his first try in the headphone world, as I saw that he was not too happy, I "suggested" him to give the CD3K a try, let's see what will be his last word on that.....LOL...

Looks great! The hat pics gave me quite a few chuckles. NinjaHoven was the best.

 

[Orpheus]

you know.... looks cool. but i was just wandering...... does that statue really look like beethoven!? i have copies of actual paintings of him, and he doesn't really look like that statue. do you know where they copied that statue from?--looks more like a copy of someone else, and just called it beethoven.

 

[Oddball]

I can't believe you did that...wow. If anything, really creative. Even if the eyes do freak me out.

My classical music oriented friend is quite freaked out.

 

[gpalmer]

Wow, that would scare the bejesus out of me every time I took a look at his face!

 

[Dan the audioman]

That is a sweet idea.

My stand is just a stick hangin' off of my dresser that i hang my cans on. But, hey, whatever works!

Regards,
Dan

He is unhappy with all headphones because he is deaf.

 

[Edwood]

LOL. He looks like a double Van Gogh with a punk hair doo.


Hahaha, I love the irony of Beethoven in headphones......

[mtkversion]

You sure that's Beethoven and not Joey Buttafuoco?
