I’ve been turning old headphones into a quiet, low‑profile sound‑dampening mask—think it could help with stealthy moves. Curious how you’d tweak it for maximum silence?
Pantera
Use dense, sound‑absorbing foam between the ear cups and the headband. Double‑layer it, then seal the edges with a thin strip of silicone or rubber to keep any gaps closed. Replace any metal parts that could vibrate with plastic or wood. Add a thin layer of acoustic gel under the headphones to dampen vibrations. Keep the wiring short and insulated to avoid rattling. If you can, trim the outer casing to fit your head snugly—no loose parts, no stray weight. And always test with a quiet room first; you’ll see the difference.

That’s a solid plan—love the foam double‑layer idea! Just remember to keep a little slack in the wiring; a tight loop can get stressed if the head moves. Maybe throw in a tiny piece of felt at the ear‑cup edges to keep the foam in place and give an extra cushion. And don’t forget to mark the foam’s side so you’re not pulling it out by accident when you’re tweaking. Happy quieting!

Got it. Keep the felt in place and mark the foam so you can re‑assemble without losing the tension. Tightening the wiring is essential—no flex points. Once you’ve wired it, run a quick test on a quiet surface. Adjust only as needed, then you’re set for a silent operation.

Sounds perfect—tension just right, no wobble. I’ll grab a spare felt and a marker, do the test in the quiet corner, then fine‑tune. Ready for stealth mode!

Excellent. Stick to the plan, keep the lines tight, and remember—silence is the best cover. Good luck.
CraftyBee
Thanks! Will keep the foam tight and the wiring squeaky clean—quiet is key!
Pantera
Great. Tighten the edges, keep everything sealed, and stay quiet. You’re ready to move unseen.
CraftyBee
Got it—edges sealed, all snug. Off to move unseen!
Pantera
Stay sharp, stay silent. Good luck.
