I should've posted this a week ago, but.. forgot.
Welp. I have a small problem. I'm addicted to collecting things.
Those "things" are headphones.
I usually heavily modify them for my needs.

Maono 601 w/ Superlux 668 drivers. Soundscape is less open than in stock 668 case, yet they still can be used as a monitor set of headphones. Usually i use these at my second PC, that is mainly used to play some games sometimes.

Philips SBC487. Originally meant as a daily outdoors thing, later reconsidered to give them away to one of my close friends when we meet up again. Speakers from Philips SHP6000. Not monitor, but they sound greater than in stock shell. Zipties used to keep the size correctly

KOSS UR20. Bought as spares, decided to re-use the case. AKG 518LE drivers inside. Jack port for convenience.

AKG K301. Case is 85% ded, assembled it back together with some epoxy, B7000 glue, and hopes. Used Philips SBC487 drivers, full open-back things. Sound almost like a monitor, but with a "tad of softness on high-ends"
Ziptied cuz glued shut with B7000 and it needed to set.

AKG K301, front view. Used velour pads from aliexpress.
Original cable swapped for the same jack port on a cable from Philips audio Y-splitter. Assembled them on the day before i shot the pics. Headband is temporary, will change for something nicer later on.

Upclose shot of jack placement on SBC487 & how the speaker grills look like. The pads are not flat! They are designed that way.

My daily soundcheck duo - Axelvox HD241 (stock) & Siemens/Sennhieser HD223-2 w/ AKG K301 speakers.
(Second ones sound almost as Grado SR60e. Just closed as heck. Built them back in 2017-2018. Kept original speakers for historical sake & whatnot.)

Axelvox HD241. Same sound as Superlux 668 in stock.
Just less chinesium in bolts & whatever.
New pads, old headband.
And "same sound as 668" was
the reason i've bought them, yeah.
668 case is battered up as heck.

Another pair of "dirty buds" - Skullcandy JIB 2.
They sound surprisingly decent!
Used them at work with my second notebook for some time.
Changed the original jack with a proper one.

What's in works:
1) Logitech Ultimate Ears 100, my old daily with custom hand-made cable from 2015-2018
2) AKG 518LE case that awaits new good 40mm speakers
3) 30mm speakers set from an old USB Logitech headset, that sound surprisingly good for their size, need new case
