So, ummm... I modded the headband using Howard Leight shooting ear muffs I got on sale from Amazon...

With the $20 bonus from Amazon Visa sign-up it came down to $6.71.
Some nylon nuts/washers/bolts from Home Depot for $4.45...

... and Krazy Glue for $1.89.
All in all, +/- $14.
End product was a bit tight at first, but with a little straightening I got a comfy fit without losing seal. The dreaded creaking that came with the stock headband was of course gone -- Big plus!
If the stock headband was light, it is even lighter now. There is a small rectangular hole on the outside of the cups from where the stock headband was attached. I filled them up with a little Shoe Goo. I'll cover them up with stickers or sumthin' later.
Nylon fasteners at Home Depot only come in white. I don't mind, but I might rub it with black Sharpie if I find one.
Btw, you would notice there's no connection between the right and left earcups. I've been using a Y-cable.
I am a novice, this is my first mod ever. I'd like to think I did a pretty decent job. ^_^
(Actually, it is not a mod in my case. I broke the headband and the wire inside. So, it is more of a repair to me than a mod.
