I have a pair. They're really cool, but I haven't found a use case for them. They're open-back, so I can't use them when I'm working in public spaces. They require their own USB DAC/AMP, so I can't use them in my analog chain at either my desktop or home theater. And the DAC/AMP requires too much power to use them with my phone, so I can't use them while walking around. The only time I use them is when I'm working from home and for some reason I want to use my laptop in bed or in the living room instead of my desktop, which is rare.
This looks really cool. Let's say I want to get into this. I have no idea about 3d printing, PCB boars or low level programming. I'm a software developer. Where do I start to learn all this? Which part do I take on first?
actually at the moment they just recommend you buy it from them and assemble it at home, if a part breaks you can then 3d print it. you cant 3d print every part though (e.g. usb c port)
If you're new to 3D printing, this is not a good first project. Buy the kit from them. It will be cheaper to do that then to buy each necessary component in bulk and make everything from scratch.
