Very comfortable and
coupled
very close to your ear!! Perfect!
Far right is original chamois pad.
I used an Exacto knife to start with and
ended
up with a steel burr on a drill press.
You could use a drill motor also and
even
a drum sander like below.
Like in Method #1, drill small holes in
side
of element to accept the yoke,
or put a hose clamp on the element and
pre
drill through it to hold the yoke like Mike Tuggle does (I think).
Sectional view of the ear pad (I know
, I
know,
looks terrable!). Cut away on the white dotted line.
Add headband with cords and you have
a nice
headphone set up!!!
