Reply to comment by TheFrator in Yamaha's new headphones promise ultra-clear sound (for a mind-blowing price) by hugglenugget

My endgame hp would be the DT1990(expensive af here) with elite velour pads and the passive filter from diyaudio.
I created some cardboard speakers for the tv and damn they sounded good. It was just a simple dual 2 way(bass+lower mids/upper mids+treble) built from cheap local parts.

Nice- I have the 1990s with velour pads and they were my daily driver for a longtime. I still use them for video games most of the time. They’re also the most comfortable headphone I own (but this might not be the case with you). I’ll look into the passive filters!

Building a speaker is next on my to-do list! Glad to hear you got some great results. What did you use for the crossover? There’s a place here in the US called PartsExpress that has most of the DIY audio equipment for sale.

It was the cheapest crossover made here(no longer being made) with meh build quality but did its job. I sadly no longer have my creation since my cats took a liking to playing with the drivers.
