What kind of question is that?, paint doesn't affect the sound.

 
 
It does if you use high quality, boutique paint.   You can spend thousands upgrading your amp and buying new cables, but in my experience, nothing improves the sound of headphones more than good paint.  YMMV.

My small study I did earlier shows that red headphones are the fastest.  I have not investigated the effects of gold yet.

 
Anecdotal evidence suggests that gold headphones are the most likely to be found in Flavor Flav's bachelor pad.

Hey, I am already writing a steamy novel about gold headphones, bachelor pads, and what goes on there! I'm calling it Fifty Shades of Gold!

Boutique paint has better PRAT

… well sounds like I'd better call my publicist and tell her to scrap the book idea I pitched. Oh it's all been done before by someone.

Exactly!!!

After I painted my sr80 pink I kept hearing my wife and kids making fun of me. The sound was totally ruined

That's a great idea, but do you actually travel with your PS1k, or is it just for storage when you're not using them?.

I think I will use it for both purposes. I probably will usually keep them at the ready when I'm at home, but if I feel that I will take a break from using them, because of either going away for a longer while, or perhaps focusing on other equipment, I will feel better knowing that they are safely stored (edit: not at least because dust tends to get just about every imaginable place). The original box isnt all that practical to use for this purpose.
 
Also, I think I want to bring them on shorter travels, for instance when going to one of several cabins I have access to. I can imagine sitting by the fireplace brandishing the ps1000's, after having chopped my own wood. I think they will be very suitable for this purpose. I wish I also had the GS1000's, as they perhaps would feel even more "fitting" in this context. Hehe.

Actually now that I think about it, there was a poor soul over in the HD700 thread who painted his Senns and got it all on the membrane...that definitely affected the sound.

Don't forget you can take them skateboarding.  Just be sure to buy several of the Grado 15 foot extension cables (like about 400 of them!)

I punched holes in the backs of the drivers on my first pair of 80i's…then I filled some in with hot glue

and it dripped onto the membrane, and they were done!

Yeah, he painted his HD700 in gold, man, my heart bled when I saw his pics.....more so since I'm a HD700 owner myself. Pretty happy with its present color scheme though, so I won't be trying to paint it another color anytime soon. Though, admittedly, a black HD700 would looks so awesome. Now, so as not to derail or go off topic......YAAAY GRADO!
