They arrived, and after a small try... All i can say, I'm happy! Will need to source the female connector to replace that protruder asap And today the headband snapped from the left side. Just few weeks over six months... Drat. Wonder how the guarantee works with Thomann...

Muahaha Yeah, I know they had very good phones... I worked in the assembly line for a while there Saw the decline back then, and the sure sign was moving production abroad.

Yah, a handsfree but one that lets you connect your own headphones Nokia came back, but the endeavour with M$ left it more like a curiosity on the phone markets nowadays... Let's see what future brings.

I used to have a Nokia BH-111 knockoff, wonder if it still works... To be usable, it'd need a better battery, though.

I've been using these cans constantly now, through rain and sleet, in warmer weather and subzero temps, and am very satisfied. Now I'm starting on the mods, first would be to get rid of that plug, and replacing it with a female jack - would these be ok for that?

Cheap yeah, and while these are semiclosed, I found out today that I can barely hear the noise in bus, passing cars etc while walking. Also, the pleather pads that came on these, feel quite comfy - need to try the velours too. also the mods mentioned in this thread. I'm even more satisfied after real-life listening.

Hmm, I no longer need that RA-1 -clone... Salvaged a Logitech X3 2.1 set from our dumpster, took it home for further inspection. Turns out the connector to subwoofer-unit (mini-DIN) suffered from bent pins (kids, too much force?) and a broken input cable. Easily fixed

Price has dropped to 29e from Thomann, and the order was placed few moments ago.

The reviews I found for the BlackJack are sofar reasonably positive. It seems it's a copy of the AOYUE 2900. A user named SparkyBG from Bulgaria has one, seems to like it so much he gutted it and build his own controller board, that can handle stuff from all brands: dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=7218Thing that worries me with all these 'smaller' brands is I have to order from the UK, and with the looming brexit, I don't know what impact this will have on ordering tips, spare parts etc. Now if circuitspecialists opened a EU store on the mainland... Now, thats an interesting find At work we use mainly Weller's and JBC's - latter of whi has nice knife-tip that puts enough heat on both small and big jobs. Unless ofc you're dealing with large grounds, then it's a different beast altogether. At home I have a Weller WECP-20 powering a WP80 - had to drill extra hole to connector to make it work. Works nicely up to 400 °C, then starts chirping.

Well, as of today, I got Rpi2+, purchased it all for 30e, included a powersupply and wifi-dongle... Odroid will come later, I'll tinker with this one first x265 is a nogo, thus I'll upgrade later.

Jumping the boat a bit, but apart from cables, what would you suggest for connectors and Y-splitter?
