The first time I saw it was your post a little bit below and is what I got the idea from. I did eventually see the Reddit post afterwards. But yeah I did it mainly because it looks badass.

I honestly cannot wait for the hd 6xx either. I'm like a giddy kid right now. 5 months of a long wait but boy will it pay off. Where do you get velour headbands from? Just like velour headbands sleeves or something?

Ahhh, I see. The stock pads are velour, I believe. The foam should still be a lot more comfortable although I've never personally had a problem with the M50x headband. Maybe due to my hair cushioning it

Hey there, would you be able to do a short explanation on how to wrap the paracord around the headband? Though I've seen it for awhile but I've been unable to find a guide on Google on how to do it. Thanks in advance!

IMaSimplemanIt's pretty simple once you get started. Start at the edge of the headband with the Paracord and make your first loop around it. You'll want to bring the wire around from in between both earcups to avoid tangling. Just continue doing loops like that around the headband trying to get each loop as close and tight to the other as possible. Once you have a decent amount of loops, say 5-10, you will want to insert a pin through the loop where you started from into the next two loops. This will let you take your hand off of holding it while keeping it in place. Next, continue to wrap round the headband. Once you're near completion, tug the Paracord, one loop at a time, to the edge you started from, making it as close and tight as possible. You'll likely have opened up some more headband so loop around that. Once you've gotten it fully wrapped in Paracord, decide between one of two things. Do you want to sew the Paracord ends or do you want to tie knots to keep it in place? I personally sewed them. First time sewing something as well so it was a fun little experience. Both of those are pretty straight forward, just do one or the other in the cleanest way to keep it together. Sewing will be a lot cleaner but will be more work as well. Tieing knots will leave a small bit of Paracord protruding out which may be undesired.
It's about 4 am right now so I'm gonna head to bed but if you have any questions, ask away and I'll get to them in the morning.

TanvirK175Thank you for your time! I was wondering so hard about the ways to hold the paracord in place after wrapping it around and you've pretty much cleared it up for me. I'll most probably do the sewing method as well! Thank you once again.

IMaSimplemanNo problem! Oh and I forgot to mention, I used about 50ft of Paracord, which is a lot more than I imagined, so make sure you have enough before you spend all the work and end up not reaching it lol. Good luck and have fun :)

First off, the comfort of these things are amazing. They were a bit difficult to put on but nothing that isn't doable. It probably also has something to do with it being my first time replacing ear pads. I almost never had an issue with the stock pads. I'd wear them for hours on end comfortably and without any pain. However, on random days, it would start to hurt my ears after like half an hour to an hour. This happened completely randomly and I could find no correlation as to why it happened on those very few days and not every other day where I wore them for even longer. Stock pads did make my ears very hot though especially during these very hot summer days. I'm glad I don't live in a hotter area because I hate the heat so much. With these earpads, I can wear them for hours and forget they're even there and they don't make my ears so hot!
I listened to some tracks standing right next to my sister. I listen to music at an average to above average volume level (9-10 ticks out of 15 on a Samsung Galaxy S8, around the 75% point on the volume line). She was unable to hear anything so as far as sound leakage goes for avg listening levels, you won't have any issues. At around 13 ticks, there is enough sound leakage for someone next to you to hear it in a very quiet area. My room with my AC on is enough to muffle it out so outside or on a train it would be difficult to hear. At 14 and 15 ticks, it's pretty significant although with a tight seal around your ears you might be able to get away with it except for someone standing right next to you outside or on a train.
I've seen a lot of people complain about the sound signature completely changing and becoming garbage, as well as a lot of people who say the M50x's are just bad in general lol. These are my first pair of headphones so I will obviously disagree with that as it's the best I've heard, so far, and it was the first one from my jump out of shitty $10 store earbuds. And I'd like to note that I am by no means a hardcore audiophile and have just gotten into the game but, in my honest opinion, these change the sound signature soooo little I can barely tell and definitely cannot complain for benefits I receive instead. The bass is just ever so slightly less punchy and that's about all I can notice. It's definitely nothing game-changing and not something you shouldn't consider these for.
TL;DR - Comfy, minimal sound leakage, didn't notice sound signature change besides ever so slightly less bass impact.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask and I'll try my best to answer them.
