Did a few measurement and I think the Fostex headband used for the TH-X00/600/610/900 would be good fit, just trying to find info just in case the headband on my HE-400 breaks. After all the mods and tuning I really like it now, favorite bedroom headphone for now.
The cups of the HE-400 are 103.4mm and the cups of the fostex are 103.5mm. will have to find a way to mount the cups, the HE-400 has a screw while the Fostex uses a pin with a c-clip. Might be able to just remove the pin and c-clip and use the screw from the HE-400 over and use some plastic washers to use as shims to make the fit better.
How does a C-CLIP work?

The user in the video put a HE-400I assembly on his HE-400 by drilling a bigger hole, and they pop right in. Ofcourse hifiman no longer sells assemblies for either headphone though. Would the fostex headband just hook in like this with a bigger hole?
Upon further inspection, I can't find anywhere with replacement parts or an email for fostex o_o
