[CARRION FEAST]

The PS1000 is the most comfortable Grado I've worn but it's also the heaviest. A thicker headband would be welcome. The jmoney was the only alternative that I was aware of so I'll have to check out Martin Custom Audio. It's a bit of a shame that the Melbourne Head-Fi meet clashes with the first week of the footy finals. I would have brought the PS1000 along but the G beckons.  

I know what you mean- I've got a footy tipping breakup that night here in Brisvegas so I'll be out of action for the weekend Check out headphile.com, they do interesting mods on most headphones.

You thought about going custom?
 
A leather goods specialist should be able to knock-up something with or without lambs wool. Plus it would be unique, perfect for the PS1000.
 
A good auto trimmer who works on classics should be able to knock one up in his sleep with leather of your choice.
 

I hadn't really considered looking locally, an auto trimmer is a great idea. I was thinking about doing something myself, but given my track record it takes me a few goes to get things right- can't really afford to do that with my beloved PS1000's. Thanks!

Thanks for the link- it looks wider than the V2, that would surely be more comfortable, def worth serious consideration, cheers!

Thanks for all the ideas- I ended up buying a headband and yokes from Audeze and using the Grado rods- the Audeze band adjusts with a grommet screw, so even though the Grado rods are slightly narrower I just put a little tape around them and tightened the screw. The cups don't move around or adjust without loosening the grommet screw, but they sit more comfortably & clamp a little more & stay put on my head- much better!
It wouldn't be too difficult to screw the Audeze rods onto the Grado cups using a small bolt & washer, which I don't have but will be buying soon, it would allow normal adjustment & look better I think! Also, the cups no longer rotate 360deg so no more cable twisting.
Worked out well, nothing permanent & comfy
