    Sennheiser PXC 450 Earpad Replacement?

    My wife has a trusty old PXC 450 whose pleather earpads are disintegrating. Given that Sennheiser's replacements are not inexpensive ($60) but still sweaty, cheap-feeling pleather, I'm looking for alternate choices. I'd prefer to set her up with real leather, and I know there are generally some...

    Closed HD-555 upgrade?

    I've had the HD-555 for a while, foam removed.  I absolutely love them, they fell in my lap for cheap, and I have no regrets about the purchase - but my wife hates that she can hear EVERYTHING that I listen to.   Can anyone suggest any closed-back upgrade options?  Trying to keep it under...

    Recabling and mic addition for a Senn HD 555?

    I'm considering adding a microphone to, and also recabling (because while I'm drilling holes, why not) my HD 555.  I was thinking I'd put two 3.5mm jacks on each side, and connecting the front pair together as a pass-through using the existing internal wire.  Each channel as well as the mic...

    Outdoor workout headphones?

    I've been trying to find some good info on outdoor workout friendly headphones I can get halfway-decent sound quality out without worrying about.  I live in Florida, I'll be sweating a LOT and may occasionally get caught in the rain, and the heat and humidity both get pretty high in the summer...

    V-Moda Vibe Duo vs Sennheiser CX 280

    I got Senn CX 280s a while ago, which I've been... okay with for the $25 I spent. Newegg has a deal on the Vibe Duos for $20. My main issue with the Sennheiser canalphones was the shallow (if punchy) bass, though the treble didn't impress me much either. Would I see any improvement with the Vibe...

    DIY "ribbon driver" headphones

    I stumbled upon this via LifeHacker.  Basically she advocates taking a cheap set of knock-off cans, replacing the driver with ribbon tweeters, making a few minor mods to the cans themselves, and calling them audiophile-grade headphones.  Total cost, around $50 or $60 (less if the cans we start...

    Headphone Acoustic basics?

    I'm interested in playing around with my HD238s. I've been able to pick up a lot of ideas for these phones specifically by looking at threads here and information around the internet (see here for foil/felt mods and here for a vent hole blocking mod) as well as a wide variety of information...
