I think you would find that the general Grado fan-bois and gurls would get upset over a headband change.

It's part of owning a grado.

Those look great. Just a heads up, I think you may have trouble getting the Beyer headband over that. It fits pretty tight on the stock Grado headband already.

sony mdr-v150 headband. had to file down the mounting nubs in length and thickness to get it to fit.

Oooooh that looks even better, and more minimalistic! And I bet the Beyer headband pad will fit better over the unpadded MDR-V150 headband.

Bleh, I don't like it one bit.

V150 band for the win!

Damn I had some of those, I hope I didnt throw them out!!! MDR-V150

That's a stunning mod!

I really hate Grado's stock headband...

Looks interesting, I guess it time to make a trip out to walmart and pickup a pair.

Now that I have my Grado's, I don't think the headband is as terrible as people make it out to be? Plus I'm a little worried about getting the right angle with a normal headband.

Anybody know where I can get the Beyer headband? Customer service sure is quite unresponsive.

I was messing around with one of my brothers spare headsets, an el cheapo Power Wave thing. Horrible headphones, but they have a half decent self adjusting headband. After taking the thing apart I found that the Grado SR80i housing could be fit into the headband seamlessly. No mods to the Grado housing at all so it's completely reversible.I have to say that it's many times more comfortable than the stock set. The drivers only swivel 180 degrees meaning no more tangled Y split. They're also foldable, if that means anything. I'm going to order a Beyer headband to put over it as a finishing touch but I'm very happy with the current result. I'm pretty sure these are the headphones I used, except mine was USB. I have no idea where you can source them though.I'll try post details if people are interested...Here are some pics:

im really sorry to resurect an old thread but, you would happen to remember how you did this, would you?
