headphones mods

Hi y'all

I've seen a couple of djs with multi-color headphones and different mods. Any knowledge of
are those custom made?
available stuff to purchase?
specific phones for which parts are available?
ideas?

Ive got Beyerdynamic DT 250 cups on my Sony MDR7506 phones.. a lot better quality cups.

Do they give better isolation?

I think so. The DT250 cups are larger and better material, also more comfy for prolonged use.

Some of the big guys also have personalized kit from pioneer, sony etc.

To the OP, are you sure you're not thinking of Skullcandy headphones?

You are partially correct. I've seen some which are not like those, but some which I now know are.
Thanks for that reference!

BTW, any experience w'em?

I would say so. But the most important factor is that they are way more comfortable to wear, since the material is velour as opposed to cheap fake vinyl..and more durable.

i had my sony 700's airbrushed, they were a wicked arctic camo

sucks though, they broke a few months after i had them airbrushed

i think i may get another pair of cans for airbrushing
