Thanks for the advice! I saw the thunderpants one and was thinking of trying something like that. There is just something about drilling into the back of the cups that bugs me though, I just fear that it might alter the acoustics a little. Of course it didnt affect the thunderpants I think. I think you're right though, wood gives a really retro feeling! I might do something to the headbands to match the new wood cups. I had 'painted' my ultrasone 550s wood a long time ago and recreated the metal plate as well. (I did it just for fun because I was really bored at that time). I think I could do that for real on these wood cups and the headband as well so it will all match.
heres some pictures of what I did in the past:

How it looks like before....

Both sides done with the "wood" treatment

Wood automatically gives me a retro feeling... and retro means you need metal and leather. I suddenly just got the image of a AKG style headband, except with the bands made of metal rather than plastic. That would be so sick!
Googled vintage headphone and this came up... they even come with a EQ on the cup!
