I was just thinking, would it be possible, for example, to get a button cell battery (like in watches) and wire it up to a tiny pushbutton switch, a resistor and an LED and fit it in the cups of some Grado cans without causing much reflection and other sound problems? Because that would look *really* cool to have glowing grados..

it could be done.. question is why? do the ends justify the means?

that sounds COOOOOOL.

i think you would be better off using a seperate plug for the led wires, and having a "speshul" jack on your amp for the "led-plug."

getting all of the necessary bits (led, small cell, resistor, and switch) into the housing may be an issue. changing the cells may also be a pita if they are in the cups.

this is a great way to have people leave you alone in public.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea how anything connects to a button cell battery.. I've seen it multiple times on various mainboards and pcb boards and stuff, but I wouldn't know how to make it dangling in the earcup or anything like that. The first time I saw LED lit headphones was on a wireless radio or something, so it had a mainboard on it already. I challenge anyone to do it, so they can post up a guide for everyon else.

I believe the flat side is negative and round side is positive. Wire as any other battery.

Here we go.. it was by ZapWizard (duh..)
But he used it in some radioshack radio thing
