well thanks, i think there are more impressive builds out there by DIY but for a first try i am certainly happy.. although i only used them for an hour... a friend has them on loan from the week after haha, using them instead of his beyer dynamic 770 studio headphones :) at least they are being used instead of laying around here

I tried the beyerdynamic 770's before putting on a set of planars for the first time, and I've never looked back. It would be a travesty for those phones to end up just laying around, collecting dust. Should that ever be the case, I just might know someone who would give them ample use. he he he

haha :) ur right at least they are used now :) hope he has fun with them until i part from them :) to make other projects possible :)
 
Great work as always, Joppe!
I really enjoyed the videos and that you also share your mistakes.

I've been thinking of doing some DIY headphones myself (AMTs of course), but I would like to be able to measure first.
Making my headphone stand into a dumpkopf with a UMIK-1 is one option.
But then I would't know how the headphones are supposed to measure in that rig,
so I guess that I have to make some reference measurements first of some good sounding headphones.

Any thoughts on this?
