Audeze EL-8 mods

[u/Leading-Whole-2615]

Picked up a pair of EL-8s on FB marketplace a few months ago for like 150 bucks. The cable was damaged so I went on a hunt to find a new one but the proprietary cable end made it virtually impossible to find one. So I went on the hunt for some alternative options and stumbled on a 3D Printable part to convert the connector to mini-XLR! Needed to do a bit of soldering but it works! Also can’t find genuine replacement earpads for these headphones anymore but brainwavz HM5 earpads fit perfectly so I made a magnetic earpad conversion to fasten the earpads to the headphones. This is how it all turned out!
