Pads worn after some years of use, especially the headband pad with disintegrated, sticky foam leaking out of the fabric. Original pads difficult to find so I decided to rejuvenate the headband pad. Have ordered some third party ear pads, if they don't measure up I'll see if the original pads...

My LCD2 started to age and I decided to fix it up. First, flaking pads (only the pleather area): Also the cupholder eating itself into the wood rings: Pads removed with flaking remnants: Cleaned that away and started with the stops, inserted nails at the end stops to prevent further...

One of the true pioneers of the hobby that evolved to a worldwide, multimillion engaging passion for music. Fill up with other legendaries from Beyer, AKG, Sennheiser and all other inventors (from Stax to Wharfedale to Yamaha) who brought the technology to new levels...

What's your opinion?

It seems impossible to find 1,5-2,5 mm open cell grey/black foam for pads and back of drivers, I only found expensive camera foam in England.   Does anybody know where this can be bought by the yard?

This little marvel is starting to show up in many configurations. It's a capable, compact double triode that apparently was designed for tanks half a century ago.   I have it in a preamp amplifying low voltage sources to an OTL headphone amp. NOS seem to be scarce, and if anyone is...

Thought I'd put a little light on this modest preamp you can get for 50 bucks or so. I find it practical to use mp3-players as sound sources, and sometimes their output is far from the 1-2 volts most headphone amps require. So this little device comes in handy for what it is: a preamp. I'm gonna...

Got myself a pair of nice but worn HD25, with loose spring on the adjustable sliders. Extremely irritating with the cups sliding down to their lowest point at every minute movement of the head, and as I didn't find the idea of electric tape on the sliders appealing, decided to try another...

I know there are some mini 3,5 mm cables out there, maybe readymade or manufactured by hobbyists. I'm looking for small, simple and clean cables (no braids) to connect my D2s and amps:     Let me know where I can buy them, or if anyone is willing to make a pair for me. Photos/links would be...

Where can I find a soft, tough plastic cover, preferably with rounded top?

For all of you out there who appreciate your highs and lows, maybe you want to partake in the celebration of Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894) who was the one to quantify and measure all those small steps from bass to treble.   What would he have thought of today's headphone wonders...

I'd appreciate suggestions where these pads can be found.

A most extraordinary thing happened the other day. It was my uncle’s birthday and I browsed through one of his old photo albums. He used to be a radio operator in the merchant fleet before retirement. One photo especially attracted my attention as I saw a man with a pair of headphones. It was...

  AKG K4 Not much has been written about the fascinating electret/dynamic AKG K4, so I thought I’d share some of my findings.     First off, this is quite an engineering feat. This headphone was introduced in 1983, I think, and of course it appeared in the wake of the Sennheiser...

Hooked up my trusty D2 with Sony headphones and was surprised how good the combo sounds - lively, detailed and musical. Joe's Garage with Zappa that I hadn't listened to for years came to life, as did Dionne Warwick '60s recordings and Sibelius symphonies. The inbuilt amp was more than...

Is this reasonable?   http://offer.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=280625134392

Just got this vintage can by mail from Germany. Sounds good plugged straight in, but I'm going to take it apart and clean it. Pads are quite flat and the elastics dead as can be. I understand the pads are obsolete so maybe a little surgery with new foam is needed.     They look fine for...

After six months use the headphone plug isn't tight and prone to fall out. Did anyone else notice this, and what's to be done?   [Edit February 2015, scroll down and there's instructions on how to fix the jack and the volume control and how to replace an aging battery]

Well, I've finally caught the little bugger on photo. In my whole career, in the music and record business, I've never seen this screw in use in studios or by audio aficionados. And for some reason it hasn't been present on my own Beyer headphones either - I was almost convinced that this screw...

THE THREAD FOR CLEVER HEADPHONE BAG SOLUTIONS   1. Hmm...     2. Well...     3. Ah!     4. Right.     Toilet bag ($7) and original foam from Grado pizza box cut and taped. Pockets for 1/4 adapter, cables, pads etc.  

Let me introduce a sweet sounding, balanced and universal headphone.   A few months ago I bought a DT250 (€12) with a broken yoke to use for spare parts for my regular pair. It turned out everything else was in working condition. The cable came in handy for my DT48, but what to do with the...
