How would that work with these headphones? Each driver has wires coming from them... 

  I opened them up (which was surprisingly very easy to do) and both wires from each driver is still attached. One of the wires is a little frayed, so maybe that's the problem? I guess I could detach the wiring and cut a few inches off and re-solder them, but then the cable would be even...

This is unbelievable...   I managed to yank the wires loose from where they insert into the headphones... Now my s500s don't work at all =( I got the wire tangled while I was squatting to get something from my bag and when I stood up the wire got caught on my knee and my knee yanked on wiring...

One year later... I'm just the regular listener. I listen to house/trance. I love the sound of these headphones, though this is only my second pair of headphones. The original pads have softened quite a bit and they are fairly comfortable now. I did buy the HM5 pads, which were the softest...

Just an update. I ended up getting the HM5 pads and the O rubber ring from ebay.   The HM5 pads are probably the most comfortable pads I have ever worn. They are so soft and comfy on the ears. I also find that my ears do not get sweaty. I can wear them for quite a long time and not get...

  Ohhh, I didn't scroll down to your other post. http://www.head-fi.org/t/621063/the-new-jvc-ha-s500-get-your-pic-idea-ready-for-the-21st-ha-s500-pic-for-cheapo-gear-day/3510#post_8929288 Got it. Thanks!

  Yeah, I checked the OP and I couldn't find any info about what music player you can use. So you can use any music player, cool. Thanks

  I'm not sure about the kbps on youtube and you're right, sometimes changing the quality doesn't change the sound quality. I only posted the youtube video because I was on youtube at the time, but the soundcloud links are usually always 320kbps so I should probably post those from now on. =D

You guys seem to love trance. I'm more of a house/hardstyle kinda EDM'er I like the build up, bigger drops, and the harder beats. Trance is too "trancey" for me? I've been jamming out to this quite a bit lately. It drops at 2:30 and I go into dance mode instantly =D...

  Great thanks!!! I'll definitely check it out.

  Where did you get the O-rings from cute?

I wasn't sure on the HM5 pads or the ATH pleathers, but based on the last few responses i'm glad I got the HM5's. Pretty excited now. Dsnuts, so you're saying you don't need to sew the HM5's?
