Open Source Headphones?

<< < (2/2)

Drakkard:
We've had this idea for a while. But with our (lack of) promotion skills I doubt it can be a success..
Unless it is an Ortho. I had idea of making relatively cheap drivers for modders. It's not hard to outperform t50rp. Still, we are focusing on other stuff now, and no money to invest into it.
Good luck with it, I wonder about the outcome

I'd suggest building a great closed portable over ear phone in the $250-400 range. If you look at that category of Tyll's WOF, there are some good-sounding phones but fit and build are generally still poo. It's a very big gap that's currently best-filled with Fostex mods. On the one hand, that's a testament to the prowess and achievement of commercial DIYers. On the other hand, that indicates the industry's overall failure--and an opportunity for great future success.

I haven't spent too much head time with the Audio Technica MSR7 as of yet, but the time I have shows a clean driver with impressive quickness. Upper midrange is too forward but some EQ could fix it. At $250 I'm thinking they're a great deal for those wanting big "portable" headphones with style and sound.

Deep Funk:
Take a KSC-75 and go Stratocaster on it for example.

You can even take an old PX100...
