I have basically zero DIY experience since back when I was maybe 9-10 years old (I'm 31 now for context) and did a tiny bit at school. Know nothing about electric circuits, and am clumsy and imprecise as hell so even simple soldering is a challenge.
But I'd like to change that, and build my own DIY headphones and speakers, since the one thing I do have is patience with tons of trial and error until I get something right.
The question I have is where do I even get started? What if anything do I need to read up/learn about circuitry before I get started? Or should I just buy some parts and start with following someone's guide and then experiment from there?
I was thinking maybe a cheap but half-way decent 3D printer might be something to invest in since I have no woodworking/metalworking skills and I imagine printing a chassis from someone else's template would be a lot easier than trying to build one myself.
