I have been working on this particular mod for a good 3 weeks. I have been wanting to mod my grado headphones for a while now, but just recently gathered the courage to take them apart and mod them. This mod was aimed at achieving a steam-punk look, which I believe I have done quite well. Enjoy!

If Sherlock homes have headphones, i'm sure they look like these. 
Nice job! 
 
How's the sound signature, after modding them?

Those are truly... different

woah. awesome.

I'm not sure how the sound signature was effected (concerning measured data), but they seem to sound deeper than they did with the original "cans."

you increased the baffle, it's believable.  Congrats on the awesome mod

Truly awesome mod, but besides that...
 
Holy crap man!  Is your whole house steampunked out?  That lamp looks like you shot a Victorian era gas light with a shrink ray.  Good stuff.

Haha Epic! Do they stay on your head well?

I love it! Nice job. I know next to nothing about steampunk, but from hat I do know you hit the nail on the head. Definitely post any other headphones you might mod like that on here. 
 
What source and amp do you run them out of? Does vinyl count as steampunk? If so, get a turntable if you don't already have one. The music sounds better, is more fun, and there is something very cool about it. I am sure you could find a vintage TT that looks like what you want, but getting to sound decent is another challenge. I guess you could mod a TT, though that sounds much harder than a headphone. Anyway, good luck and massive kudos.

I enjoy your vivid colors, what material did you use to create the 'cans'?

They stay on very well, the adjustable headband is on a floating 'ball-joint' so it adjusts comfortably. Though I don't recommend taking a jog with these headphones
