Very nice! I'll have to give this a try sometime.

Buy some wooden cups and mod them.

Let the bling commence!

Can anybody confirm if this is the whole plastic headband for the Sony model? If so, that's all you should need for the mod... Sadly, I have a bad feeling you need some of the other parts too.

It may work, I will go try it out at J&R tomorrow because I'd really want to do this as well and I don't have the improved Grados. I have my fingers crossed! I will check back with the results when I try this out.

The mod looks awesome is there anyway I can just get the headband by itself rather than paying $40 for the whole thing?

 

[Optional]

wow, I might actually get some grado's now.

 

[Yoyi]

Has anyone checked up if the sony band fits it?? I rather dish out $22 to sony than $40 for a headset I am going to dismantle.



Edit: I'm an idiot it was AU didn't notice. So the price difference is not that big ~$10

Now I have to find somewhere that ships to the US....

 

[Optional]

Just ordered some SR-80i's... I should have an MDR-V700DJ that's broken that I can slavage the headband from around somewhere...

 

[peepee-king]

Great to see others giving it a go, I'll go through the process with you. Take pics as you go too since I didn't... );

Found some old microsoft headset ones and a pair of old sonys that were undergoing a recabling...





While the sony ones aren't actually attached (done solely as a test), I'm thinking I might find a way to attach them as the headphones have no clamping force and are so light! They have the comfort of the AD700s with the beauty of the Grado sound

 

[GeckoSlayer]

As an update to the above, I chucked the MS-1's into the cups of the Sony's I had lying around and it turned out to be an unimaginably amazing fit. The comfy pads are the EXACT same size as the cups..





Oh so comfortable... Zero clamping force!

pee-pee King,

That is a great mod. As much as I liked the Sr60's with my ipod, the style was just silly to walk around town with it....
I wish Grado would change the headband style for its lower end models (SR60, 80) as they do look too retro for outside use. For upper models its fine since it gets used mostly at home...
