Hi all, I know this question has been asked throughout the years but I'm wondering what I should do. I'm contemplating one of these headphones and I'm not sure which one to go for. A year or so ago I posted on here taking you through my journey on which headphones to buy, I mentioned liking a...

I had a 2 pin cable pin break off inside my moondrop aria (og). I then compounded this issue by breaking off a drill bit inside the same hole and damaging the socket. At this point it's pretty clear the sockets gone but is that the end of my aria's? How hard is it to crack open my aria's? Do...

I got a commission to make a new headband for the Heddphones. The Heddphone has a pretty bad headband. It's too small and just uncomfortable. My current headband design had a lighter clamp and was designed for my own headphones, which weigh as much or maybe even less than a single Heddphone...

So, I got a commission to mod the Heddphone with a new headband. I took the challenge and well, it required me to take apart the earcups. I couldn't find really anything on how to take apart the Heddphones so I decided to document a bit of the teardown. The headband itself won't be taken apart...

Hi all. In this thread I want to share the mod that provide more stable and reliable driver support against the back of the headphones housing. This mod will likely solve the bass rattling issue for this HP model. I came to this solution after my first bad experience with these HPs (they...

Not sure how many others use these, but their "over ear" pads were much to small for me. I made some adapter plates for using larger pads for those who want that. You could shrink the OD if you just wanted different pads, but not larger. You can grab them on thingiverse

For anyone unfamiliar with @John Massaria, the refined Kennerton Gjallahorn JM Edition carries his initials, as one of the first owners who modified those headphones. So when John posted this Drop x Hifiman R7DX in classifieds, I jumped on it right away. The following are some shots of the mod...

Hi all, so I have recently gotten hold of a pair of CD1700 Sony cans, after being very curious about them for years. Got a nice-looking pair off of Yahoo auctions, however while they do work and produce sound, they have some severe channel imbalance (right ear being louder than the left, and...

My Bl03 has a driver flex and I think it's because of the vent being blocked by my ear. Some say it's the death of an IEM. :( If it is indeed so, I have low hopes for it being replaced so I'm looking ahead now for possible fixes. One of it is to reshell the drivers into a more agreeable...

Repairs and Modifications Hi all, I've recently picked up the hobby of repairing headphones, bought in job lots or as spares/repairs. For many of them the repairs have been quite straight-forward, but when it comes to physical damage; it's rarely a simple fix. Using a 3D Printer however can...

I am a noob with a noob question. I just stumbled upon this thread. I'm intrigued by the idea of using a resistor adapter to raise the impedance-level of a pair of headphones. Would that have any detrimental effect on the headphone's sound signature? Let's obviously assume a sufficiently...

Cleer, a small US based company focused on designing slightly premium casual listening headphones while using Chinese OEM manufacturing, came out swinging at the Canjam 2017 tour. Their new flagship dynamic driver headphone was announced as taking aim at the HD800 in performance for a lower...

So, lately I've been delving down the rabbit hole of custom headphones, specifically custom Grados. I've found a number of different driver options that look pretty cool (both in images and on paper), but of course considering this is such a niche area of audiophilia, I figured I'd ask the...

Hey guys, obviously I'm new here, but i was looking to get my first "audio setup" as far as a pair of over $150 headphones, and also my first amp and dac. I've already done my research and decided on a Fiio k3 (sorry if some of the names i list are off, I'm going off memory) for the amp/dac...

Hey fellow audiophiles! I recently discovered that Vibro Labs is back after receiving an email from their subscription list. Instead of releasing IEM's' like the Sera or Maya, they are now manufacturing and machining different types of wood-chambers for the Fostex T50rp! You can choose to...

I've had a really great experience using my Schiit Saga Preamp with my Adcom 5800 power amp (Nelson Pass design 250 watts/channel into 8 ohms, and over 400 watts/channel into 4 ohms) I bought another Saga Preamp and will be using that one with my Acurus a250 power amp soon. I also prefer the...
