yea, again, slip out the driver unit from the headband bracket and gently pull on the cushion. get a firm grip on the base of the cushion as it is fixed onto a plastic ring that anchors it against the driver unit, sandwiching the foam in between. remove the thin foam sheet underneath after you get the cushion off and get a pair of black nylons. cut a square piece of nylon the size of the foam sheet. stretch the nylon around the engaging side of the cushion ring (taking care to properly align the weave of the nylon if you're that kind of person) and temporarily hold it in place by taping the edges of the nylon square onto the sides or face of the cushions with scotch tape. be sure to stretch it enough such that the tape does not get caught between the cushion and driver housing when you reattach them. reattach the cushion on the driver unit by pressing the cushion firmly but gently onto the driver unit, you should hear it snap into place where you press. go all the way around the cushion to make sure it is on firmly. you should now have a "frilly" nylon border around the cushion. take a pair of curved scissors (i used a pair of facial-hair clippers from the gf's manicure set) and trim the excess nylon by going around the edge of the cushion, pulling a bit on the nylon as you go so that it tucks itself back in between the groove where the cushion and driver housing meet. repeat for other side.
sit back and enjoy your much more open and aesthetically pleasing nylon modded sennheiser!
