On parts & builds

• ← Color studies
• This is only a headphone frame. The frame is designed so that standard commercially available speakers with a diameter of 40 mm can be inserted into it and then soldered with a cable. Soft material (some cardboard or foam) should be inserted behind the speakers to anchor them firmly in the frame and also improve the sound quality.
• The cushions in the pictures are standard cushions that can be ordered in this size. For a final product version of the headphones, you could offer your own, slightly softer and perhaps coloured versions within Ikego’s tolerance.
• The core parts of these casings are flat! They can be produced with a laser cutter, woodworking tools or even simple scissors.

• This is how the outer side goes together:
