Very Cool,Wachara.

Are those single or dual Diagphrams?

็Hi Jer,

This is the first time I make the housing using wood. Actually I didn't quite like using wood, because it tends to absorb moisture in the air. Where I live here can be very humid. We'll see.

The drivers are single diaphragm.

I finally found a headband for the drivers. They do sound really nice.

I've made a slight modification to the headphones so that they are now able to accommodate better full size ear pads from Hifiman He-5.

Really nice work chinsettawong!

What would be nice is a step by step compendium of the assembly process.
You know, cut and etch this, spray that, glue this.

Read this and the similar thread over at DIY Audio and I think I might have to have a crack at a set. Spent the evening on Sketchup and have began designing the stator and spacer.

Ever so slightly ripped off from one of chinsettawong's designs. Do they seem ok so far? They're both 90mm in diameter so you have an idea of scale.

Hi Nixon,

I can't see your photos.

Just finished another pair of headphones last weekend. This time I made them with 80 cm active diaphragm diameter. The size is very much the same as Stax O2.

Yea, I know that I need better cables.

Are you noticing a difference in sound quality or efficiency with the larger diaphragms Wachara?

And as for the esl on a horn, I do design work for Volti audio and I am currently 90% of the way through a planar driven mid tweeter horn coupled with a bass horn that I'm calling the Klipsch killer. Goes considerably lower and cleaner than anything else I have been working with for quite a while.

Sorry for the off topic post Wachara!
