therenegadeSo far just the Audeze LCD2 microsuede pads and paper towel along with the custom grille I designed and 3D printed. Currently working on creating a completely different headstrap system and will be designing an earside fazor array with removeable earpad mounting ring. Will also be experimenting with a grille side fazor array/fuzzor dampening hybrid.

q3akiUsing Shure 1840 pads with custom attenuators inside the ear opening (blue file folder cut out into a cresent moon shape), modded MrSpeakers leather comfort strap for Fostex TXRP to fit SHP9500, and blacked out the grilles (Sharpie marker).

VRacer111Looks like my shp9500s: black hm5 velour pads and a black repurposed a leather belt i never used for the comfort strap ( used the old strap as a template for the cutouts). I actually had the grills blacked out but removed the marker again b/c I missed the big stupid L/R letters after some time...

jeffrey_bYeah, the nice thing about the stock headstrap is that clear plastic internal piece which makes a perfect template, you can just trace it and punch 5/16th holes in the leather. I'm either way with blacking out the letters, have 2 SHP9500s one completely stock and this modded one.

chance912Those are custom from Impact Audio, but they have not been making anything for almost the last year apparently... their Etsy store has said 'ImpactAudioCables is taking a short break' for almost a year now... https://www.etsy.com/shop/ImpactAudioCables?ref=listing-shop2-all-items-count#items I have found another company that does very similar quality cables which I'm about to order cables for my Argon Mk3 and HD58X from. Instead of being local they are in the UK though: https://oidiosound.co.uk
