I HAVE REBUILT! currently, im waiting to get some hose clamps to replace the tape holding the speakers to the band. and some zip ties to hold the foam pad on top. they sound ten times better and have 2x the bass as before. might be because i sealed the earpads better and that i got a much better cable for it.
Wow, coming together nicely... Duct tape does in fact rockx0r your b0xx0r. They remind me of the headphones Tandy (Radioshack) used to sell with built in "bass enhancer", which was simply a device that vibrated your ears at high volumes.
