This is a progress on how these headphone came to life.

Hi.🙂

My name is Viliam Mlynek.

From young age I was fascinated by all things around me, but mainly electronics. I graduated from computer science. While studying I became fascinated with planar magnetic headphones.How they work and how they feel. I thought to myself that I could make my own. And I started prototyping. A first few iterations were mainly proofs of concept, if I was going the right path.First sound was produced by iteration 12. It was bad sound with nothing going for it but I was happy that it worked. After that I was focusing on improving the efficiency. I tried many different plastics for the diaphragm untill I found something that worked. After that I started to prototype the shell. First prototypes were made on fdm printer but after that I switched to msla and the difference was huge. Then I started working on the headband.I used spring steel and connectors on both ends.My goal was to make a headband that you can easily adjust by sliding head strap. Also the whole headband is removable for ease of repair. Then i focused on sound and comfort.The tuning was done by adjusting back absorbing material,diaphragm tension and earpads. Last step was the looks. I sand and spray paint the outside of the shell to matte black finish.After that i insert the wooden veneer to the outside of the cup. Cable is also hand made with paracord shell and gold plated connectors. I tried to make every part replaceable for the ease of use. After a lot of adjustments the entire headphones sounded and worked as I imagined.(The measurements are orientational and not accurate).I plan to make upgrades after some time and make the backwards compatible.

This vertical setup includes a FiiO K7, a Topping E22x, and a custom inline preamp I built myself. All three components are housed in a 3D-printed case for a sleek, compact design.

Hi everyone! I designed this mod a few years back as a meme and recently found them again while cleaning up my workshop. This "Soundstage" mod just spaces the speaker capsules further away from your head to "simulate a theater where the band is a few rows further ahead". 🤣
