Pics or it didn't happen.

I don't think those Lego connectors are audio-grade contacts, either. It'd defeat the purpose if you intend to use Shure drivers.

I totally agree. It was a thought experiment. It would, however, be amusing.

So how's this project going? Any progress?

 

[Squeeesh]

I just need a cord that'll fit (and preferably lock) in the jack, but other than that it went well. Though a chip of my exacto that I was using to remove the glue got stuck on the diaphragm side of the driver. I got it off with plastic tweezers.

I hate it when that happens. The magnet in the driver always attracts something, like screws and stuff. I almost punctured the diaphragm with a screwdriver once.

Does it still need to be a Y cable?

hurry up

can't wait to see it

If the operation is successful, then it should look like an unmodified Beats Pro!

Of course i mean the drivers swapped

I labeled the drivers with sharpie before I swapped them. RB is beats(right) and LS is Shure(left). They are in the picture I posted

The Beats drivers have six points of contact whereas the Shure drivers have two. Daisy chaining wouldn't work even if I could get the screws out, sadly

 

[vantt1]

Did you pay attention to the wiring of the Beats drivers? They actually have two points per each of the three contacts; two for the driver's positive terminal, two for the negative and two points just act as a bridge from the headphone jack to the other channel's positive terminal.

This is only if you've repaired the came going through the headband already.

How did the repair work out

How did the repair work out

I nearly forgot about this thread!

I just cut up some old apple earbuds and soldered them together. Doesn't look great but who cares
