I just sawed off the hooks and put the remaining tube plus thumb screw over the rods of the headphones (I removed the rod and glued it back on, but you can try to remove the top) After that it looks like this: Overview: (The screw on the right cup is swiveled inwards, but you can just turn them around of course) By the way: this does not prevent the cups from swiveling!

very nice, !!! - any links as to where to get those hooks/screw? - i would gladly buy those they look about right

Anybody tried the rubber rings on any of the plastic Grado's ?

Or is it just for the 325's ?

Edit- Ignore me, Just looked at my 225's and the back does not stick out like the 325 so you would not get the band on !!!!

If the housing is the same size then theoretically it should work for all Grados, but depending on the diameter of the ring, I'd be careful with the plastic models so as to not risk deforming the cups in any way.

But I also wonder if it would have any effect to sound on plastic grados, and especially woodies. I understand that aluminum ones could affect greatly as metal is very echoing material, but what about plastic?

This looks cool, but "sloppiness", particularly in the bass, is not a feature I would attribute to the 325i's, IME.

I tried it on my 325-not-i phones, and. . . . . nothing. Zilch. Nada.

Can you get a picture with a different view of what these picture hooks in action? I'm still a little confused as to how they work...

I tried the bevelled ones like Cake and am totally happy now with the 325i's. The bass is even better than with the overhead projector strips I had wrapped around the bowls as per your basshead mod. I don't even need the basshead mod now; it's detailed and powerfull enough as is.

I'm also hoping you'll provide more info on those hooks (like where to buy). Cheers. Thanks.

The hooks are part of a rail-system where you can hang paintings on the wall using a rail and wires.
Here is a link to a picture (of the specific hook I used) on the manufacturer's site.
I don't know where you can buy them on-line. I bought them locally in a shop, this system is widely available here in hardware shops, decorating shops and such.
If you really want them I can find some for you and send them over.

If you can get me a pair of them I'd pay for them and shipping.

Is OK. Just PM me your address.

I'd like very much to try this mod, but the original pictures seem to be dead. Can someone reupload them?
