sofastreamer, your post inspired me, as well as another guy who replaced also his headband with a cheap headset (Marley something).
Quick revival story of my shure srh940, which I very much like, besides structural problems that I have been trying to patch with epoxy resin and other tricks, but finally the headband itself stareted to crack and get loose on both side, so it was time for some more serious rework. I ordered a cheap headset (Artic P533, 35€ on Amazon) to get the heandband and mount the shure cups on it. The good side of the artic headset is its metal structure, enabling an easy rework and adaptation of the branch witdth, without breaking anything. as the shure cups have a different width. Also having the cable easily accessible made my life easier. After hesitating a bit, I finally decided to reuse the wire already mounted from the Artic headset (red cable), as the shure cable inside the original headband is quite thin therefore fragile. just some quick work with solder iron and voila ...

For those who wonder, I tested the Artic P533 for 5 minutes just for curiosity, it sounds crap ... no regrets ! Its best asset is being very DIY friendly !
Here we go, brand new Shure Artic with a solid and comfy headband, even lighter than the original
