    Designing a new headband for the Heddphone 1. Also with adjustable clamping force.

    I got a commission to make a new headband for the Heddphones. The Heddphone has a pretty bad headband. It's too small and just uncomfortable. My current headband design had a lighter clamp and was designed for my own headphones, which weigh as much or maybe even less than a single Heddphone...

    Quality headphones that don't shread. Is there such a thing.

    I got two sets of mid-level headphones, $200.00 to $300.00. And the ear pads and the headbands of both are peeling so badly that they leave pieces of the fake leather covering on my ears and in my hair.

    Sony MDR-CD2000 loose headband

    Hi all, I recently came in possession of a pair of MDR-CD2000. It works very well safe for one small problem, the headband which I assume to normally be self-adjusting is no longer doing its job properly.

    Hifiman HE-400i and HE-560 V2 Headband Assembly Compatiblity

    Hey everyone, I tried to replace just the bit of padding that goes over your head on my HE-400i, but was quickly greeted with the horrific design of the headband assembly as a whole, and can now consider my entire assembly to be toast. I'm curious to know if the HE-560 V2 headband assembly...

    Something between HD650 / X2HR?

    There's a lot of things that I like about the HD650s and the X2HRs, but then there's this one thing in each case that drives me mad. I could live with the smaller soundstage and less bass of the HD650 if it wasn't for its terrible headband (I'd like to keep my headphones stock). The X2HR are...
