I don't think I've ever seen someone get so upset over earpads before.

The K702 was my very first headphone, and I was hooked. Nothing else I've ever bought after that came close to recreating the pure beauty of music, and I've essentially sold off everything else. Try upping the bass EQ 7-9 decibels, and the K702 is quite a kicker.

You have to know what and where the scent is. If you know that it's cologne, then there are several things you can do. For the pads, you can hand wash it several times, or you can throw them in the laundry. If the scent is also on the headphones themselves, then it's a bit tricky. Oils in...

Avoid Grado for bass. Senns are good, but they're a beast to power. You should look into Denon.

Grado's not the way to go for bass, with exception of the GS1000. Perhaps Denon or Senn.

A few of you guys should get together, create fake accounts, and bid the price up to 2 million!
