Found your mod earlier in this thread. Great job. Unfortunately that appears well beyond my abilities.

As I said, after figuring out the size brackets I needed and getting my local metal engineer to do them for me, I found the rest to be very easy.
I was taking a risk in doing what I did but now I know my 009's work with this headband, I couldn't be happier with how my 009's look and feel, and there's no change in the SQ.

Since I posted photos of myself wearing my 009's with the then headband, I've been making slight changes. The last one I did was to put Black Neoprene foam rubber on the inside of the headband which can be seen in two of the photos.
 

 

 

 
My headband is now complete so I'll just enjoy listening to my 009's now.

Ooooh, replacement parts for the SR-009 by 3D printing sounds like an awesome idea

Thankfully mine are not broken yet, but I dread the day those plastic bits start coming apart

Keep us posted

There you go : http://www.3dhubs.com/3dprint

Let's bump this thread a bit
I know that headband on 009 doesn't look good and it is prone to cracks so i was thinking about something similar to MrSpeakers's memory wire. That probably will improve the comfort and certainly will last much longer.
Any thoughts?

[Before this rumour gets out of hand across multiple threads] I've only seen one case of cracks and/or broken headband and that wasn't clear if it was owner (ab)use. I've had my SR-009 for over 5.5 years and absolutely no issues with the headband.

Are you referring the headpad itself? That one does/can wear out with lots of headphone use. I've swapped out my headpad once in that 5.5 years.
