It's office moving day which means I get to disassemble, move, and reassemble this thing for the nth time.pic.twitter.com/vex4yFnazM

We started the move at 9:00 and ended around 13:15. Three people, one truck. Not bad. Now I have to rehang all of the acoustic treatment, put the gear back in, and re-run many cables from the computer that lives outside the booth.
Because people always ask: it's a recording booth. It weighs 650 kg or so excluding anything that goes inside. It's about 1.4 x 1.6 m external. Made by StudioBricks in Spain. I cover the internal walls with GIK Acoustics bass traps. This is where https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts is made.
fully reassembled, no damage as far as I can tell, everything seems to workpic.twitter.com/00KFjjYdYF
There are two sets of headphones because they're for different purposes and sound different. Sony MDRV6 are closed-back, so they're for monitoring while recording. Open-back headphones bleed sound and would be picked up by the mic, causing feedback or other undesirable effects.
AKG K 240 are open-back and sound very different from the Sony. The Sonys are very harsh in the high end with a weak low-end; AKGs are the opposite. So I use both as reference points when mastering. AKG tells me if there's too much bass; Sony tells me if there's too much high.
This is sort of like keeping a cheap boom box (or, today, a phone) in the mastering suite to make sure the audio doesn't sound terrible on the awful devices we actually use. I don't do that though; just the two headphones.
By the way, both of those headphone models are about $70 new. This isn't fancy gear.
Did you just post the original pictures of assembly in reverse order?
I’m expecting the walls and floor to be gone in the next pic.
