Hello,
Does anyone know a good place to buy good headphone drivers in quantity 10 to 1000?

I checked digikey (my usual electronics supplier) but once I filter for waterproof the options are limited.

I've been googling a lot but its hard finding just the drivers not the whole headphones.

If you know of a place to buy good quality white label headphones, please let me know. I'd rather just get the drivers and design my own enclosure but am open to options.

I go to Ali sometimes and usually have good results but for drivers I would rather go with a supplier with reputation for high quality.

Try Grado. They are still a family operation, so you can probably run your plan by the boss with one phone call or email. Good luck.

I don't know if they are waterproof, though.

I believe they are genuine. The guy who runs the store says they are 'absolutely genuine'. I have no way of telling. I really do not have much to compare them too.
I don't use them that often. They sound better than the original drivers for sure.

Good to hear it turned out for you. Nice work!

I was not guessing they are fakes. I think it's easier to obtain brand name parts than it is to copy them so I believe they are genuine but I still am curious how they were obtained.
