are these any good

Oh man .
If I am correct there is something amazing in there now. What a great looking industrial design, and from way back also.
 
Hows the sound on the amazing new installation?
 
Oh and those pads look a little more inflated than normally seen . I have some of those exact pads on an older Columbia ( before they became Denon ) that was likely OEM'ed from Elega.
Some special secret to reveal there also?
 
So did you put the 1000 ohm stock drivers in a portable phone driven set

Stock they were meh, very typical vintage n-shaped sound but was very easy to listen to. Didn't bother damping them at all before doing my mod

It was tedious cleaning up all the old decayed foam but it's totally worth it!

Much better than that installation was stock for sure. It just about makes up for having to get rid of the original installation's looks.

Those pads are stretched over a pair of modern pads. Did that to maintain the aesthetic cause it didn't affect the sound much if at all. Really helps with comfort too as well as sound.

Nah, I just left them as is cause I couldn't figure out what to do with them heh

found these I think they are from the 70s not really into headphones they do sound good through my old Technics

Probably nothing special.
I certainly wouldn't spend anything close to £25 on them for example.

Looks like a generic paper cone, to me. Maybe 20$ just for parts is what I'd spend.

Telefunken TH600

Had the itch to try these out for about two years after high praise from another headfier in another thread.
Now I'm thinking it was 'high' praise 

 
Anyway, the headphone design has actual thought put into it, attention to detail and feels like a high quality thing.

Not to mention it looks like they had Dornier do the styling.

Gotta hide that ugly circular noisy thing inside somehow.

Ach!  If only it weren't for that durn driver thing getting in the way

SQ impressions? I find that my TH500s are OK on the end of an OTL tube amp...

BTW, how did you get them open without destroying the pads?

I had it going through an Objective stack.
Sounds dreadful.
Boxy soundstage accentuated by the echoey cups.
Good positional cues due to angled drivers, but VERY narrow soundstage - everything is happening in your head.
Very poor frequency response - massive bass roll-off, peaks and valleys in the rest of the FR.
Timbre is plasticky/artificial - too many reflections in the cups.
Below average level of detail.
 
It's pretty much among the worst headphone I've ever heard, and I can't believe for a second that a miracle would occur if I drove it with another source.
The O2 is plenty to get a lot out of nearly every headphone, but no source can fix the massive FR problems and the horrible enclosures.  
 
The only reason I bought it was after seeing the hype for this line of headphones in the HD540 thread saying that it's better than the HD540.
I know everyone hears thing differently to a point, but this is just plain wrong. 
 
The earpads are stuck on with a sticky glue-like substance. They peeled off VERY easily, and stick right back on just as easily.
They're just like those inflated Koss earpads. Pretty cool, but prone to deflating and punctures.

I agree that the bass is non-existent if you don't have a perfect seal (difficult to achieve if you don't actually hold the cups to your head...). Maybe the pads are part of the problem (poor seal, highly reflective)? It's also likely that the act of holding the cups damps them somewhat!
