A chunk of wood, a lathe and chuck, chisels, a drill press, bits, forstner bits, sandpaper, tung oil, lacquer, grille material, a heat gun, a hot glue gun and some patience.

I did a draft of a tutorial in thread in the DIY forum... Should be able to find it without too much effort.

This is my SR125, modified with Oery's MarkII wooden enclosure with integrated front spacer

Nice. You shoukd have re cable it at the same time and probably change to better headband too.

I'm thinking of getting the Senn HD 414 pads (like most people here have) for my SR80. My only concern is the sound. Will it sound different with the 414 pads or will the sound remain the same like the stock pads?

Thanks!

do you mean like this one?

I modified a headband from cheap headset....
make larger hole untill Grado clamp-shaft can make through
then, just fill plastic terminal with hard-foam... act as brake-pad...
so, clamp-shaft won't be slide too easily.....

Now.. Grado feel so comfortable and stable...

the sound definitely changes. i forgot exactly how, but i think it was more bass and less detailed mids/highs

even though i don't use the hd414 pads anymore, i think it was well worth the few bucks to try them out.

I went from comfies to 414 on my MS-1s. The sound became more detailed or clear in comparison to the comfies. Overall a little less laid-back.

No wonder that more and more of our stuff is labelled "made in indonesia", and more and more US/EU jobs get disposed. These bastards have become much too competent!

Pretty much anything you have is made in Asia or somewhere east. Not to say it's really great craftsmanship.

My RS-1s measure in inches as:

A. 2-3/16"
B. 2-1/32"
C. 1/8"
D. 9/32"

 

[Seaningtime]

Has anybody tried just taking the drivers out and putting them into comfier headphones??

I am new so it might be more complicated then that, but it seems logical to me...

 

[Brighten]

Oery, that custom work is legit, you could probably start your own business...
