I have some beats by dre studio edition’s or whatever. Im pretty sure they’re fake, but thats beside the point. They recently quit working on me and i want to try a little DIY project. I would like to have the look and feel of the beats but the actual speakers from some skull candy skullcrushers. With the super bass thing they have lol Anybody think this could be done?? and any tips or ideas would be much appreciated!! Thanks for reading
hey man. i´m sorry but i think you wont get any good advise from anyone on here, since most on here think/know that both of the brands you´ve just listed have a bad bad reputation.
if the beats are actually fake why not just take them appart and try to fit the skull candies in. skull candy have the worst built quality i´ve have ever seen and fake beats are worth nothing. you wont loose a dollar by frankensteining them together.
good luck.
ps: i bet this was and will be the only serious respond you´ll get
Im just amazed someone would buy fake Beats headphones!! The only reason I can think of is that you wanted to look ‘cool’ but not pay the ridiculous price tag that comes with it.
@OP: If are using these headphone just to listen to your music and shake your brain while doing it. Then doing a DIY as Ed Paris suggested would be the best route to take.
Now if you want to actually hear your music i’d stay away from the lower end of these brands. These two and other manufactures purposely “color” the mid range to make it sound like you are getting quality sound. More specifically - bass driven sound. What you’re hearing coming out of those speakers is not what was originally recorded/produced. Obviously if you’re playing live, that can be a big problem. Some headphones will focus more on one frequency while others in the opposite. Balanced multi-driver headphones have higher prices for a reason. It took me a about a year and about 4 pairs of cans for me to find the balance I was looking for.
The new skullcandy headphones are great for snowboarding, or anything else where you want to abuse your ears for music, but not at all good for DJing. The Beets are pretty, so I say shove those skull candies in.
In regards to DJing, you will still be able to use them, I used a $20 pair of Behringer cans for a while until I could afford some TMA-1s. In the spirit of this forum (modding) I recommend sticking the 2 together, but save up for something made for DJing, and not jogging.
sick vid haha. Thanks everyone for your posts. First off, i bought the beats of ksl (just like craigs list if you didnt know) for 150$. Guys dont bash on me it was a bad decision i could have bought much better quality for the price i know!! two nights ago they quit working. i did take them apart and i can get a pair of the skull crushers for 35$. i wana try to just mash em together. get the status look of the beats with the over exaggerated bass of the skull candies haha. no this project is not prectical at all but i think it would be kinda cool if it worked and btw, i live in a small town, so if you have beats everyone thinks your rich and they all think skullcandy is up there with pioneer lol so any ideas or suggestions would help
It’s entirely possible but it will be a nightmare and they’ll probably break again not long after. If your town is that backwater, a good idea would be to buy some genuinely good ones, and then if people are like “Man he poor, he don’t gots beats” then you school them on how you’re too cool for beats. Be your own scene, screw the sheeple, and eventually the sheeple will follow you, and everyone who splashed out on beats will feel absolutely robbed.
