Comes with just the headphones and a 1/4" adapter.

In relatively good condition compared to other CD1700s. The elastics are still very good with no droop. The headband is cracking on the bottom but it's not flaking. The dual yokes that go over the top are bent slightly to ensure a better fit and seal and is fairly commonly done on these headphones. The housings have some scratches but nothing very major (see pictures). The earpads look worn but the foam still has a lot of life left.

I've owned 4 different CD1700s and this is the only one with "decent" bass response and balance. This one has white dampening paper on the front and thicker earpads. The magnet on the back of the driver is silver. The other variant I've found has black dampening paper, thinner earpads (though they looked new), and a darker/black magnet on the back of the driver. That variant has less bass and a more pronounced upper midrange. So what I'm trying to say is that the one I have is more desirable. :wink: If you're curious to learn more/want proof of variants, I can send pictures of the other variants upon asking me. I just gotta dig the pictures up.

From a smoke-less and pet-less home.
