Headphone orthodynamic drivers?

[erikfj]

Hi everyone!

I'm new and have been searching the whole damn internet for a supplier of planar magnetic drivers for headphones without any luck 🙁

Does anyone of you know one?? I'm looking for something like this:
Sawafuji Magnetostat Magnetostaten Bändchen Hochtöner Dipol | eBay

Thank you very much in advance!!

Try a FOSTEX T50RP...

You can get one for 100 bucks or so !

You may tweak it or take the drivers if you prefer !

A new version is available but for a little more money…

I'm planning on building a little batch of the headphones I'm designing for my friends... and hoped I could get the drivers without having to pay 100+ for a pair that would end up half in the trash and the bank account busted 🙁

Then you have to design one, afterwards contact a Chinese company to build the diaphragms for you : the more you order the less you pay !
Not an easy task to be honest…

Already on the designing process 🙂 I have been as well searching alibaba for a supplier with planar magnetic drivers without success :/

Maybe you know of some supplier that could do the drivers?? Or maybe that already sells them??

Greetings
