For Sale:
Sennheiser HD 580 headphones, Broken headband...everything else in great condition. SOLD
Will Ship To: Anywhere
There is a story behind these beauties. Originally listed them as an ebay auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=190535480179&si=W25Z8ToYVVR02mWJOapSwzsid%252BI%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMESOX%3AIT#ht_500wt_951)
I shipped these out promptly after buyer made his payment, and was careful to bubble wrap it nice and secure. 5 days later the seller contacts me saying that the headband was broken UPON ARRIVAL, and that he wanted a refund. My auction clearly stated that the sale was final. Anyhow, he threatened to file a complaint, and I did not want to go through the hassle of paypal blocking my funds (paypal can be brutal to the seller...buyer is always right). So I gave him a full refund. My guess is that this individual was probably overstretching the headband and it snapped. Senn headbands are known to be on the sensitive side. He probably knew that he could get away with it. Again, this is just an assumption...
so here we are with an otherwise great condition, fully functional HD580. I did some research and called sennheiser. The headband costs $53 shipped. I wanted to run these by head-fi to see what kind of offers I can get before making a decision to repair them myself.
