6:27 Actually, any audiophile, that's into DIY, knows, that single-core ethernet cable sounds great, because the copper in it is very pure by design. 9:36 Drilling holes in the cups like that should actually increase the bass. If you want less bass emphasis, change the pads to velour/microsuede ones.

Does it really make a difference when you're applying roughly textured paint, though? Knocking down the layer lines, priming, then painting should be more than enough with a textured paint. Could probably even skip the primer if the paint itself is made for plastics.

Xander Vice aerosolized paint is typically very thin. Even cheap air guns get up to around 80% paint efficiency. Yes, it’s from a spray can but still. Any texture isn’t from the paint, it will be from the surface. Primer will help hide low spots and flaws on the surface.

I realize that you're doing an el-cheapo take on the the alpha dogs, but my heart kinda broke when I saw that you threw the same (Insert expletive here) stock pads that came on the T50RP's. The biggest thing you can do for the T50's is to swap to way better pads, I like Brainwave, leather pad made all the difference in terms of bass presentation and depth. Definitely consider thicker/different material pads.

You know what's good? Model paint like Revell "enamel" type, simply brushed on. It's self levelling, it's got an insane amount of bite on plastic, it doesn't chip, it can be sanded and polished. It's alkyd resin paint, similar in behaviour to oil paint, just sets quicker, but it still takes a while. Though i would suggest it's worth it. As an electrical engineer: Ethernet cable strands are perfectly adequate for the 3cm link inside headphones.

@snazzy
@snazzy 5 жыл бұрын
This is correct. The enclosure is hugely important. These T50RP drivers are actually used in some of Fostex’s more expensive headphones and they’re kinda “nerfed” in the T50RP’s enclosure to avoid needing multiple driver SKUs. The enclosure is arguably even more important than the driver. And if you think about it, it makes sense. Speakers work by pressurizing and depressurizing air. From where that air is sourced, how far the distance and what angle your ear is to the source, the shape of the chamber in which the air enters/exits and with what dampening all change how a headphone can sound. This headphone mod and the original sound nothing alike. It’s almost hard to believe the electronics are the same in both.

Makes me wonder if all you had to do was replace the dinky little wires and add the new connector, then add the same sound deadening to the original enclosures. As a kid (about 10 y/o) i had some 3 way floor standing Fisher speakers (ones with white foam for the cones) that i replaced the internal wiring with heavier gauge monster cable and greatly improved bass, mids, and cleaned up the high end but was careful not to turn it up too high because then you could smell what i assume was the coil burning lol. Before i got rid of them i spray painted the woofers cone with some automotive paint to give it a hard surface which further improved bass as i think it helped stiffen the cone and couple the air maybe lol.

There are a lot of mods that retain the stock enclosures and they help the sound a ton. These definitely sound a step up, but if you absolutely don’t have access or interest in a printer, you can DIY with the stock enclosures and get 90% there.

1 inch of wire is not going to make any difference in sound, when you have a 10 feet cable in series with it, also audio is very low frequency so anything that measures 0ohms will do. I would care more about mechanical properties than electric. I would use enameled stranded wire just to avoid the wire memory of solid core copper putting stress on those pads, or rattling around. But to be honest you’re fine if you never open then again. But if your going to open is better to use something flexible to not lift pads on the flex membrane of the driver.

I havent watched the whole video yet but you can get a good paintjob as long as you sand it well, even a can of spraypaint looks good if you prep and paint right. Most of the shine is in the clearcoat anyways.

Wow really great video! I remember when Mr Speakers first started. I can't believe he/they are still going strong. I have a stack of headphones in the corner of my room ready to sell and I know there's a modded T50RP in there. Thanks for making this video but mostly I wanted to post this comment to ask: are you wearing a Grand Seiko? Holy smokes dude! Is it the Snowflake? I'd love it if you did a video on it.

Samson SR850 for the win, I really love thses pair of headphones (I also own the Superlux HD681). Great headphones even better after some eq adjustments to tame the highs. The superlux only cost me £23.99 while the Samson was £19.85...simply amazing for listening to songs and doing some music production

As for sound quality? No. It's mostly just that the Alpha Dogs originally used Hirose connectors, so that's what the first released Open Alpha designs call for. Now the cup files are designed with the connectors on each side, so to reuse the original cable you'd need to either modify the 3D print designs to remove the connector mounting on one side and alter the other to accommodate a 3.5mm socket, and make holes in the cups for the single-entry cable that goes over to via the headband. Also, if you don't feel like getting those rather expensive and relatively obscure Hirose connectors for the cups (and cable), there's alternate cup designs out there nowadays that are modified for using more ubiquitous 2.5 or 3.5mm sockets.
