Hey guys, as you can see I'm new here, and I'm not really an audiophile. I currently have the Sony PiiQ GiiQ. For Christmas I'm going to have around $50 or so and I'm planning on buying some MDR-XB500's as they're affordable and have generally good reviews. And they actually look pretty good! But, I was wondering how hard it would be to paint the headphones to nearly all white with Krylon Fusion, and get some neon/lime green cable covers. By cable covers, I mean the shoelace looking fabric that you can put on the cables. I do not plan on rewiring ANYTHING, so in this whole process, I was wondering if it's just unscrew paint, slip on covers. How much would it cost to get the covers, or could I try to find it in fabric stores? Also, as most of you are aware the MDR-XB500 has a flat cable, so would it be possible to just get a shoelace, cut the tips, slip it on, and slide the ends under the ports? Ghetto, I know, but I'm on a limited budget, and need the easiest solution possible.
New Thought: Could I just buy some colored heatshrink tubing, cut it to length, and use a heat-gun/blow-dryer and shrink it to size? I just want the simplest way.
Thanks!
