I think the MM-1000 was a tad smaller, but not a huge difference.

Unless you post with it on, it doesn't count

I used full size dynamic speakers for mine. 4 inch cones.

Songistix did make a smaller version. Look for the MH-500 and 502. There's a 5.1 version called the 505. These used a smaller isodynamic driver, but the magnets are big and fat and heavy, plus they're offset from one another, an older design that's not as good. Still, you can sometimes find the planar drivers sold by themselves if you want to experiment.

congrats but I got to tell ya I don't think I laughed harder in 10 years after seeing your new, ur, umm, headphone creation,

 

[atothex]

Indeed.

Ha! I knew the Phonodome would show up.

Ok so I bought a pair of Magnepan MG-IIAs recently, an due to their age I need to repair them. However taking them apart and examining the construction... wouldn't this make for an extremely simple headphone driver? Mylar, small but conductive wires bonded to the mylar, attaching the mylar to a frame with a grid of powerful magnets behind. The hard parts would be figuring out the optimal tensile strength, cups, and ear pads. For a more exotic setup maybe a separate small section in the middle of the driver that is tenser for high frequency duty...

After rebuilding my new maggies... maybe this would be worth a try?

If some more info is needed regarding how these planar magnetic drivers work, lookup magnepan.

*Edit* The monsoon speakers look like they use ribbons instead of planar magnetics.

Ok guys, lots of people asked for it. So I might consider posting a picture with my big "babies" around my head IF there is more than 150 replies from different users.
But I warn you, it will probably end up on thiswillshockyou.com

on a side note, amb's appreciation thread took a few days before it got a few hundred posts, can't you make the requirements at least a bit easier?

Easier? I'm already getting worried...
