@snazzy5 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.

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.

dare is say the dt 770 is the best headphone of all time. affordable, repairable, great sounding.

What infill and layer height did you use for your prints?

Must the cable be changed in order to fully take advantage of this mod? I understand the enclosure side of things but not why the cable is changed. Thanks

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.

Looks a lot harder than I thought it would be

It seemed fairly straightforward to me. The only hard step is the soldering.

Nah, it isn’t too shabby. That said, there are many simpler Fostex T50RP mods out there that might not make such a huge difference as this but will be much simpler. :)

@@snazzy I might attempt this then. Thanks for posting, I've been in the market for a good pair of HiFi headphones.
