Unfortunately, I'm 4 hours away from every Grado I own. I need to get back to Atlanta to grab a few pairs so I can take some measurements.
It looks beautiful...How would the cups be held in the rings?
The design looks good. There was an item that I noticed, which is something I normally look for in a head band as most offer the feature. There is usually an ability to slightly swivel the cups as they are mounted on the headband a few degrees either way. Since our head shapes and ear angles are all different, this done to allow that small, precise adjustments for fit and allow for greater comfort. In the image below, I've added some green arrows the designate the slight swivel capability.
Still have some hardware to pick out. Was going to go all out and over design it with many machining operations, etc....and then realized I could do something cool almost entirely out of sheet metal. So I went in the sheet metal direction. Since everything can be water jetted, burned, or lasered it shouldn't cost much more than the cost of the metal itself. Need to find some cool aluminum thumbscrews and a few other odds and ends. Anyway, below is a design I modeled up tonight. Any feedback / suggestions are appreciated.
