Mackie 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2003 I reckon most manufacturers would have though of your idea and perhaps restricted availability for this purpose. Afterall, it's detrimental to their business. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jarthel 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2003 just remember that the transducers were designed in conjunction with the chassis design. So the shape/construction/materials used of the chassis (lack of better word) has everything to do with the sound quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2003 Concur with the above. Do not expect a DIY speaker box with Dynaudio drivers to match the sound of original Dynaudio speakers employing the same drivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rameish 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2003 Huangyong, I believe you're thinking of making your own headphones. In that case getting the transducer from the distributors should be relatively easy. However, making the housing/cups and taking into consideration the acoustic of the housing in terms of material choice, size, vents, damping material etc would involve alot of time and money. Hence, buying a ready made headphone may be 1) cheaper 2) a lot less hassel 3) better resale value. However, if youre doing this as a hobby then I salute you and wish you the best of british luck :-). You'll need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firefox 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2003 British luck.. Yeah. You'll really need it. I think it's easier getting good 32ohm speaker drivers and making retro ear-speakers ala' K1000's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lengcm 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2003 I don't mind selling you my DT880 transducer. The only thing is that you may have to wait a couple of weeks before I can confirm the sale. Will PM you when confirmed. I have other plans for the DT880 frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
