I agree with the above post. Personally I cannot understand why you would not want to make an effort in this regard anyway. Only the other day, at work we had exactly the same conversation and came to a similar decision

Thanks for the info! Right now I am really into the new Dr Dre Headphones. I was considering building some myself, but I just like the style of the dre headphones.

This is a great tip about noise-canceling. I find it useful to apply with my audio equipments. I have some pairs of Sennheiser and Skullcandy. I will certainly find it useful to apply with my headphones.

William – did you get anywhere with this? I could do with a set up EXACTLY the same as you’re after – any hints?

I’m looking for cancellation of industrial noise coming from outside the house. I envision a microphone outside picking up the source noise, connected to a pc in the house running software to cancel the noise. The inverse noise would be broadcast by speakers in the room — so I could sleep without earplugs or headphones. The source noise is from compressors or diesel engines and is very constant/unchanging. Any ideas? The scenario seems identical to noise cancelling headphones: The mic is external, the cancelling noise is produced in an area isolated from the source. (My room is equivalent to the inside of the earphones.) I would think this could be a useful and popular application.

Incredible... what an idea! A DIY pair of noise canceling headphones!

To be honest I'd go with a pre-built pair of noise cancelling headphones from Sennheiser (http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/sennheiser-man-17.html) or Audio Technica (http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/audio-technica-man-18.html)

It seems like a LOT of hassle to build them yourself! :)

Hi, was wondering if anybody here could help me modify my current Skullcandy Skullcrusher to add some noise cancellation technology.

I love em for the bass, but I can hear everything. I have some old Sony MDR NC 20 I don't like and wouldn't mind dismantling.

My skullcrushers have a compartement for 1AA battery already for the subwoofer technology.

Could anybody help me with figuring out how to hack my current skullcrushers with the noise cancellation technology from my sony's to make the ultimate pair of headphones?

thanks for the help!!

write me back with a relevant email title (so I know it's not junk mail)

I’ve built these headphones using the Ryckebush circuit before. (about 4 years ago…) They worked great initially, but the battery life was horrendous, the box was ugly and HUGE (not fun in airports, I never tried to use the headphones on an airplane again after 9/11 happened, since I wanted to actually be able to get through security.), and after 2 airplane flights it stopped working reliably.

It cost me over $40-50 for the parts IN ADDITION to a pair of headphones themselves and went through $3-4 of batteries every 2-3 hours.

When I first built them, ANC headphones available on the market were all extremely expensive, and the homemade ones were cheaper. This is no longer true.

It’s a far better idea to buy a pair of Philips HN100s or HN110s off of eBay – I bought mine for $15 *including* shipping, and they blow away my homemade ones in every regard. Battery life off of a single AAA (instead of a pair of 9vs) is insanely long, the cancellation is better, and the unit is far more compact.
