This headphone kit exceeded my expectations. I ordered this kit with the drivers and G cushions. I also ordered the headband kit with G cushions and everything went together well. I customized the cups in my kit with MMCX connectors and it turned out really nice for a detachable cable option. The drivers sound excellent. Vocals are vibrant, highs are really nice and mids are also really nice. I was actually surprised with the low end. I was not expecting a lot of low end from an open back setup but they perform well where bass is needed. I really enjoyed working on this headphone build project and it was nice to have found this site with most of the parts that I needed. I look forward to seeing this headphone DIY field grow to offer more of a selection of parts in the future.
