There must be other phones where the headbands can be removed.
Vintage DT 770, 880, 990 and Koss Portapro to name few. IEM`s dont have this problem, because there´s no headband at all

i dont know if i am fooled by my ears, in fact i trust them, but the gluing process of the sorbothane take more than a month to deliver the best of results.... I detect 2 stages : one were the sound is more greatly improve after a week, and the surprizing second improvement after a month or so ....Wait and enjoy!
The sorbothane i have put more than a month ago around the drivers of my speakers seems to gluing more thightly now in place.... I am amazed by my imaging...:atsmile:
1) I found this DIY hifi web site which has few useful pages about vibration damping.

Using stethoscope to detect problematic vibrations:

2) All vibration damping methods in Audioquest Nighthawk uses:
- Liquidwood earcups which have elastomer coating applied on innerside
- Earcups and headband arc mechanically separated by four elastomer strings
- Drivers have urethane rubber surrounds that absorbs vibrations
- Biocellulose is self damping diaphragm material
3) My idea for loudspeaker vibration damping. Metal stick could be screw adjustable to compress sorbo patches against drivers and back wall. This could be done to cabinets floor and ceiling panels too. Can be modified to dynamic headphone drivers at least. Not so sure about electrostats.
