You recently asked your community if your videos should remain voiceless or if you should start talking more in your videos. I'm *very* glad you're doing voiceover. The laughs are well worth it. Reminds me a lot of This Old Tony, and if you're like me you'll know how big a compliment this is.

@RestoreTechnique Год назад

Ok thanks. I was starting to regret posting that poll haha, because I was thinking I wanted to remain voiceless, because I don't really like the sound of my voice, and it's an extra process recording all the narration. And something extra to be anxious about. I think I will persevere with it though 😳 Never heard of This Old Tony, will search for it. Edit: oh wow, his content is great, that is a compliment! ☺️

@lisarayner3091 Год назад

I still like some videos to be voiceless, just now and then it's more relaxing to have no voice. But you cant really ignore the votes of your Followers!

@harmonic5107 Год назад

It'd be interesting to add an aux port to the headphone end since there's extra space. And because the hyper x has this really annoying habit of internal torsion in the braided headphone cable. Making kinks all over the place. Being able to swap it with a higher quality cable would be nice. And would allow for color customization.

@sephiroth17181 Год назад

as far as i know the metal plates arent glued in place, there are 4 metal tabs that are folded on the inside of the earcup that hold them in place. but i think masking was the better choice as the tabs may have snapped when trying to unbend them. i really likr the look of the finished product, makes them stand out from an ordinary pair :)

@RestoreTechnique Год назад

I bent back the 4 metal tabs as seen at 5:38 if you look closely. But there was still something holding it in place, I assumed it was glued in as well. Yes I'm really happy with how they turned out.

I'm thinking a lot of work goes into these. The editing, the voicing, the syncing in ads and different sequences. Then he's got to spend time looking after his tools, buying glues, planning future videos, monitoring new releases etc. And some videos might not work out, which is time wasted.

@dandel351 Месяц назад

Great work. Getting ready to fix up my unit that failed after many years of service due to work hardened cross over wire to the right side breaking. Paint job looks mint mate. I had the same issues with that rubber feel coating stuff, cleaned mine off with some alcohol spray to wipe it all off. I had issues with those plastic bits near the adjusters breaking off. Hopefully the newer ones are made with better plastic. Had a good laugh thru the video at times which makes this sort of video much easier to watch. How is the paint holding up over time?

@RestoreTechnique 21 день назад

Cheers dude. The paint is holding up great, except for the little brackets on the sides of each ear cup. I was too thin with the red clear coat, and the corners of them have had the paint wear off due to placing the headphones down on the desk.

@19ameer96 Год назад

I tried restoring my cloud core months ago, desolder and resoldered. now 1 speaker doesnt work. help?

@RestoreTechnique Год назад

Are you sure you wired it up correctly? Copy my wiring example. However, I've heard that soldering on the back of speakers can be troublesome, and you're not supposed to leave the soldering iron on for very long as you can damage the membrane. If your wiring is correct, maybe you damaged the speaker 🤔

No, a regular cleaning won't help. I haven't heard of any way of slowing the rubber coating from degrading. Maybe some oil, like you do with car tyres? I don't know sorry.

Thanks! These Cloud Core headphones were around AUD$80-90, and the new leather parts cost AUD$15. It's not a great money saving project though. Can't bear to throw them out when they work perfectly.

@soXfoR Год назад

My iron is not as fancy (30W one) as that Hakko, so I question, what temperature were you using? I believe I burned the small pcb or driver (or both) (also not used to soldering but gave it a try). The + - poles have no continuity now on the right speaker, on the left it's ok with ~58ohms, and with the headset plugged in it beeps with a short on the multimeter when both poles are probed on the right speaker. So I've since ordered replacement drivers and will try fixing this, but wondered what temperature you had on the soldering iron. Quite possibly I had the iron there for too long only and will be able to repair with the *new* drivers.

Does living in the heat of Australia have anything to do with your phones looking like they're melting away? I've never actually seen that happen before.

@RestoreTechnique Год назад

I don't know, I assumed it happens everywhere, it's just the nature of that rubber coating. It deteriorates and goes all sticky after a few years. It probably is quicker in warmer climates though.

@valitsemllaluokanavahyvaks3556 Год назад

If you live in a country with very high temperatures all year round i would say it does wear the cups a bit more since u will sweat more into the headset because of high room temperatures.

Looks good but i wouldnt go with that type of sheen, its too glossy and showed all the defects in the paint job. You also did quite a lot of cleaning that could have just been done by cutting some alchohal with something like mineral spirit and let it eat away all that nasty gunk on the outside of the plastic. Also the amount of sanding and prep was way overboard unless you just wanted the meticulous shit to be in the video. So many ways to do things and sometimes they dont seem viable or even sometimes are not thought of. Also, i hate the person who invented the way leather ear cups are held onto headsets. their has to be a superior method than that little plastic extra you gotta stretch into place and fidgit with it until its on lol
