"de-itching" The headphones (ATH-WHJPN) I took to the barber

I take it English isn't your first language?

First, stop overreacting. You seemed to assume that I was trying to insult or be a smart-ass. Wrong.

I asked if English was your first language because your original post was difficult to understand. You want me to point out where, right?

What can I do about making the headphone pads not feel so freaking itchy without screwing them up in any way?

I can see you went back and edited your original post. The ambiguities within the initial version cannot be explained by dyslexia.

1. ATH-WHJPN -- sorry, what headphones are these? I tried to search for them but couldn't find anything. I've also never seen an Audio Technica headphone follow this type of all-letters model name. If you can't tell us which headphones are giving you the problem, it makes it harder to help.

2. "Large" itchy sensation -- Should be "very". Or "extremely". "Large" is not an appropriate word to describe the degree of an itching sensation. I also don't understand why you brought your headphones to your hair dresser, or what your hair dresser tried to do to help. Again, these are details that could help people help you, if you can list them clearly.

3. "Through" -- you've edited this to "throw". But I think you can see how it didn't make sense as "through my clothes".

You called me stuck up. Was that something "nice and constructive" to say? Think about your own standards if you're going to try and measure me, or anyone else, against them.

And regarding people saying something hurtful "every time [you] post":

I don't see a lot of insults directed at you there. I see a lot of helpful responses.

ATH-W11JPN! There we go, a model number. I suggest you change the thread topic to something like, "ATH-W11JPN pads itchy--please help".

I'd also appreciate it if you didn't respond to me in both the thread and via PM. 

I don't get why you would take any can to the barber let alone a $650 one, but that's besides the point. Cant you just wipe them down or take off the pads themselves and thoroughly clean them? Unless they are velour but I cant tell from the picture, if they are velour I think your gonna have to hand wash the pads.

Try scotch tape! 

If all else fails bluetin.com (The Japanese web store, not the Singapore one) sells new pads.http://bluetin.com/catalog/audio-technica_audio-technica-hp-w11-earpads-w11jpn-w11r.html?osCsid=8421f6756be44f722115e5925ff89872
