Yes, and removing process is also different: HP2 metal band is fixed by a small hexagonal screw in the both sides ...

Also, the word has been out for a few months that JMoney is no longer selling leather headbands.  Some great reviews on these headbands have been circulating around the forum:

what? They don't sell headbands anymore? I thought it was because the owner was in Europe for archaeological dig.

I was just basing my post on what I've read in many threads here.  However, it appears your information is more factual.

Do you think someone could provide a tracing of the outer edges of the HP-2 headband?  I could basically recreate any shape of headband.

Please provide Mr. Joe Grado a big Thank You for giving many audio enthusiasts some great headphones to enjoy their music with.

Hey all,

 

If anyone's interested I've got a padded lambskin (black) headband I got from Martin Custom Audio specifically

for Grado.  It didn't work for me as my head is quite small, so I've decided to go with a Beyer pad.  But should

 be fine for most people.

 

20 bucks; you pay the shipping.  Please PM and I can send pics.  I'm new to the board, but do have reviews on ebay and Amazon.

 

UPDATE: If you're a longtime member for Head-fi I'd be willing to mail out the headband FIRST and wait to receive payment

until AFTER you've gotten the headband.  You can't beat that, right?  beyersmile.png
