Seriously i know we have Lot of people here who work in diffrent field, people who like to mod there headphone, i ask if one of them can build a headband for RS-1

I bought the Beyerdynamic headband but even if he do the job, he look Ugly as he don't have the right size (look here with pics http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showth...light=headband )

The last solution someone told me was to ask Larry at headphile.com, which replied to me that he can't help me

kontai69 was selling these, but they're all sold.

It's Larry from headphile.com ?

The headband look similar, but the problem is how to install it, look like we have to do the same manipulation as for the one here http://headphile.com/page9.html where we can read "The installation can be fairly easy or a real pain, depending on how hard your plastic L or R letter piece is to remove."

No it' Larry. Here is how to build (if you want) and install them.

How about, swap the headband from your SR60 with RS1, and then the beyer headband should snap over in the fully closed position...

Sorry but look like a word is missing, it's not Larry or it's Larry you said ?

Kind of a different request as the RS-1's have the nicest headband assembly of all of the Grados. Usually, people are looking for leather headband replacements for their HF-1's or lower.

I could see how people might not like the Grado look in general....but what don't you like about the RS-1's headband?

 

[lerio]

Yes i should precise it here again in this post, the RS-1 headband look Fantastic, but he is Too long

I was not really sure about that (fell the pad was some kinda too low) but since i use Beyerdynamic headband i know for sure Grado headband are too long, so the only solution is to use a padded headband on it, now the pad are at the place they should be and the sound get better

How about you adhere an hd580 headband pad on the rs-1 headband. Here they are.

 

[lerio]

That mean a glue contact on the leather Grado headband ?....

And... not sure he'll look good on a RS-1
