Okay, ordered a pair of drivers and mahogany cups, got a spare MDR-7506 headband so will use it for now.
I can't wait to read your opinion.

So... I finished building the Nhoord headphones at 4am. Probably could have got it done earlier but I was hooked on silicon valley at the same time heh heh. Will try to finish building the Magnum V7 today and waiting for my last modded grado drivers to arrive but I'll eventually do a 5 way shootout with my HF2 and turbulent labs grado headphones.
Nhoord drivers still burning in, but initial impressions were pretty positive.
Lot of assemblies that look like they will work from Taobao actually. Some of them are a bit homely looking, but these are pretty cool:

Yup, just a matter of choosing the design and pricepoint that you want.
A note of caution though: The inner diameter of the cups may not fit the drivers that you're using so you need to take special note. From experience, they can range from 40 to 50mm. I specifically bought 50mm ones so that I have some room to play with. Better to get too large ones, than too small ones.
The ones in the link are meant for 40-44mm diameter drivers.
