i would not use them for gaming

they're great if you want a really mid-focused earbud

could these fit on hd 61

super super nice clear mids for a fkn $5 earbud especially

81

yeah they fit

buy a sewing machine and make your own earpads :^)

i actually plan to sometime

you can make meaningful changes to sound signature with pads and i wanna play with that more than i can buying off the shelf

Yeah those pads fit on the 681

They just take some work to get on

also at some point i really need to finish that electrostat design i started a few years ago, i've got a lot more skill and a lot more equipment now and could probably actually finish it

Estats are nutty

at least i ought to design and make my own headphone even if i'm using an off the shelf dynamic driver

I'll be building my own headphones once I build my cnc router

...also i need to try silicone pads once i get my room temp injection machine working

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

i'll probably be either 3d printing then vapor smoothing or simply molding the cups, i intend to design and make my own pads once i learn how to engineer around those too

I tried making pads but it is super hard

Memory foam ain't cheap either

there's a lot of acoustics math involved in a good pad yeah

and it gets expensive for nice materials

thanks @Windatica @HEKTIK

Eh sheepskin is pretty cheap

I got a whole bag of offcuts for dirt cheap

>natural leather >not using superior manmade materials

>not using sheep foreskin

is my chink sgs2 battery shit because it takes very long time to charge

leave leather for boots and belts imo

Nah sheepskin breathes nice

and gloves

although canvas gloves are arguably better than leather for most work

Good pleather is really trial and error

no pleather, i'll probably use a felt

or maybe some craaazy fabric if i run into any that seem cool

i do definitely wanna try solid silicone pads though

could also do 3d printed polyurethane for filling instead of foam or fluff

tweak the infill to comfort

Alcantara is cool

aliexpress only from china?
