Some custom balanced beyerdynamic T90
There is a lot of love for the beyerdynamic T90 but the lack of detachable cable annoys some people. With the rising popularity of balanced headphones if you want a balanced pair of beyerdynamic headphones you are pretty much limited to the T1.
We are out to fix that by offering detachable cable and balanced versions of most of the beyerdynamic range.
Here is a pair of T90 which have been converted to dual entry detachable cable and a balanced 4pin xlr

Some of my favorite custom airbrushed headphones from the past couple of months
Here is another batch of custom headphones I am quite proud of.
This pair of tattoo inspired sennheiser HD25 with sugar skulls, guns and roses took a very long time to make. Most of the individual pictures were done as digitally printed decals as there was more detail than we could purely do with an airbrush but there is also a bit of penwork and airbrushing in there as well
These next ones were partially done with a decal as well… the face was a decal, the text was sprayed on using masks and then the smoke/sound waves were freehand airbrushed on to them

These are some more classic splatter pattern ones. First the logo was masked out on a white pair of headphones, then they were splattered in a jackson pollock style and finally a the shadow was sprayed on using transparent black – then when the mask is pealed off to revel the white underneath they really popped

These took a very long time to get right – it is surprising how much you have to distort things to make them look right when painted on a curved surface
delicious airbrushed headphones customized by custom cans
Sometimes it is nice to keep it simple – these custom white HD25 Aluminium have nice clean lines and subtle logo – classy

We are now doing UK headphone repairs
With our years of tinkering experience we decided to start offering repairs on high end and DJ headphones as well as re-cabling, modifying and tweaking for a sensible price. We have access to a lot of spare parts and experience custom making bits to order so should be able to repair and refresh most headphones. Don’t get me wrong…. it you break your £20 hello kitty headphones then the cost involved would make them uneconomical to repair but if you have a £100+ pair of beloved headphones that develop a fault then repairing them is probably a good option. So if you have need of someone who is handy with a soldering iron and experience breathing new life into tired audio equipment them check out our new site
Some cheeky Star Wars Fan art headphones
I have always been a sci-fi geek and star wars is still one of my faves so I could not turn this request down. They are done with a combination of airbrushing and waterslide decals – they took ages to make but they turned out better than I imagined. They have darth vader on one side and a storm trooper on the other. The heaband hs little tie fighters and starfield effect on one side fading to white on the other

New website and Shop Design update
Our websites are looking a bit tired now and some of the links never worked properly so we are slowly redesigning them bit by bit.
The new JFunk.org website is now up and starting to take shape so check it out.
We also had an issue with the shop’s template which meant some sales could not complete and after a couple of nights trying to fix it I ended up giving up and starting again. The shop has had to be pretty much redesigned from scratch – it still needs a little tweaking but it is getting there. Check it out here

Ultra low capacitance Balanced cable for the HD650
The latest in our range of ultra low capacitance cables is is this balanced cable for HD650, HD600 and HD580. This comes terminated in a 4pin XLR to plug into high end headphone amps but can be ordered with two 3 pins or anything else you need.
This one is roughly 0.17pF for a 1.5m cable and is super soft and flexible to make it possibly the ultimate audiophile cable for the HD650

Custom balanced Beyer T70 with detachable cable.
These were a bit of a personal project – I love the DT770 and the T1 and was wandering how the T70 fits into the lineup. So I ordered some in to have a bit of a play. As you would probably expect the T70 sounds better than the DT770 and not as good as the T1. Like the DT1350 the bass is a little recessed but very detailed – overall a nice pair of closed backed headphones.
After having a listen to them stock I decided to give them a touch of flair.
This pair has been given a custom colour shift emerald paint job with a vinyl lover stencil design. They have been re-cabled with out ultra low capacitance litz copper wire and re-wired internally to take a balanced connection. They have also got a detachable cable.

Since making a lot of toys to go with the balanced output on pono we are doing a lot more balanced conversions on beyerdynamic headphones. The theory is much the same for all the different models but it gets scarier as you go up the range due to the cost involved if something goes wrong – so far we have not lost a patient so I may give some T5p the same treatment soon
