You should be ok either way. V9's have a gasket that allow some flexibility in cup mounting- gives a lot more freedom vs the old v1-v8 rigid mount.- Rhydon

Plastic tends to have low stiffness (so low resonance frequency) and high Q (level of resonance). For this reason i would shy away from it. You dont see many high quality speakers or headphones with large enclosures use plastic, its not the best for resonance. Wood or damped wood is best if (and...- Rhydon

Come to think of it I think Joe Grado was going for reliability and ruggedness with the choice of aluminum for the HP-1000 rather than sonics alone. This headphone was designed as a recording engineers tool, used in a sometimes hectic and fast paced recording studio. Lots of being handeled...- Rhydon

You may want to stick with wood ear cups. Metals have very little damping and high weight which makes them hard to use for large headphones. Some use metal outer cups with inner wood inserts, this is good practice if you want the strength of aluminum but the damping of wood. Part of the fun...- Rhydon

Its a great idea. Much time is spent getting the sound of the drivers right, we should make sure everyone can install them easily. What is your preferred thickness for foam, 1/16" or 1/32"?- Rhydon

I will consider including foam pieces with the drivers from now on.- Rhydon

You're ok. We still consider foam fits to be a viable option. As long as the driver sits snug within the foam then it should seal correctly.- Rhydon

Thats correct. Front is the part that touches your ear, back is inside the earcup.- Rhydon

A tip for those trying to remove drivers from wooden cups. Someone once taught me a simple trick for doing this without damaging anything. Set the cup on a short hollow cylinder or pipe which has an inner diameter slightly larger then the driver diameter. Find a thin hex key or something thin...- Rhydon

They turned out great. Good on shipibo for offering both finishes. Deaj what kind of connectors are those, 1/8”? Also did everything go ok with sealing the cable slots? Just thinking out loud but how awesome would those earlier chrome gimbals be paired with glossy finish wood cups...- Rhydon
