i just took apart my old and broken sony mdr-v600 headphones and turned it into a single cup headphone.
it's great and i can finally start using them again 'cause i like them better than my 700s.
anybody else ed around with there headphones or customized them or whatever? |

I never understood why'd you want a single-cup headphone...
The second cup never hurts, you just put it to the side if you don't want to use it.
oh, i just read again and saw that it was broken, n/m. hehe |

yeah. they've been broken before, gotten fixed and this time if i were to get them fixed, i prolly would of spent more on getting them fixed than actually buying them. even though it was over 3 years ago.
it was a bit more than just takin off one side. it was like massive surgery without re-wiring.
first, i had to take off the broken piece (the part that holds the cup to the rest, like the folding part) then take off the good part top move the one headphone to the other side that's not broken. i have a lot of screws sitting here. it's kinda neat. lol
i'm liking them a lot now. next time i play out i'm gonna bring 'em and see how i like them. |

| ...is one of the very worst headphones that I've listened to recently, at such a high price. I wouldn't pay even $20 for that 'phone - honestly. But it's downright Not Acceptable at its $100 price tag at mass-market superstores. It sounds artificially echoey, with dull and lifeless bass, woolly and honky mids, and harsh and screechy highs. Worse, the MDR-V600 produces absolutely no musical detail at all whatsoever across the audible frequency spectrum. |

i have no clue what yer talking about. mine don't sound like that at all... even after all the abuse i've put them through... ?
there isn't a ton of bass but the mids and highs are beautiful and they fit so well around your ear and keep out other noise. |

| All I was trying to say is that I've heard far better headphones than the MDR-V600's at their exact retail price point... :p |
|

| raaven |
prolly. can't remember how much i paid for mine??
oh well. i love 'em. that's all that matters :) |

| Basically, there are a lot of good cheap headphones out there for DJ's... sony stuff is usually overpriced, unless you get the right model. If you are curius, it isn't too hard to find some dj/studio headphones that are probably better sounding than anything you have ever heard... |

my technics rp-dj1200 headphones broke a while back... only the right channel works....
if i can't get them fixed, maybe i'll do something crazy with them too, =P |

| Well I painted my Sennheiser 280s yesterday, with spray paint (light blue) and they look really awesome. They are in a way similar to Picotto's.I can't stop looking at them :tongue2 |

^^^ Nice!
If you don't mind, what kind of spraypaint did you use and how did you do it? Thanks! I've always wanted to paint my HD-280's or MDR-7506's. |
