Hello, I am in a bit of a predicament. I have recently had some health issue and my doctor has told me that I may be sensitive to close quarter electrical fields. So things like mobile phones and of course headphones are not on. As a precaution it has also been suggested to me that I should, for the time being, remove all electrical devices from my immediate living space.
It has been something of an adjustment and have found myself looking to the past for inspiration, I was thinking about getting an old vinyl player with one of those horn things as the speaker but of course I am in the headphone forum for a reason, I have very limiting noise requirements.
I was thinking a little out of the box and however ridiculous it would look I am hoping that the same old tech could be retooled into headphone gear. Nothing stopping me from getting some kind of head apparatus and attaching a smaller horn to it. The main limitation I think would be finding a lengthy and more importantly flexible material that can allow the needle vibrations to flow into the head-mounted horn.
I mocked it up in mspaint before I realized these things are mono, duh.
