In this case I am not buying them (new pads). As mentioned earlier I am buying hd700s and the seller is telling me that everything's legit but the headband padding does not seem to be OEM. The headband padding is kind of secondary but I want to make sure the pads are original to get the hd700s...

How can i be absolutely sure that the pads on the hd700's are original and not replica's or 3rd party ones? Is there any marking, logo or specific carachteristic on the original pads that set them apart from other ones? TY

Thank you very much for all your replys. But the bass is much less present and less impactful on the HD700 when compared to the HD600? I actually quite like the presentation and the overall bass and clarity of the HD600 when compared to the HD650(6xx). To me the 650 does not have many impact...

True. The Sennheiser HD6** line has been for decades a staple of confidence and reliability and therefore people people will assume any new HD6 headphone will be great no matter what. But I think I will try them. I doubt I will ever have any chance of getting a headphone of this type for such...

If I go ahead the deal will be made in person. I also told the person I have to try them first to see if I like them enough to close the deal.

Do they have resell value? :D The guy was asking 250, I said 100 and he said ok right away .... :D Tyll and other reviewers made sure this was the most hated Sennheiser in the past decade so I don't know if their resale value is that high given all the hate. Also Sennheiser discontinued them...

Hi guys, I already have a HD25 Wich I love and HD600 Wich I also love. I also have the HD6XX but I don't like those as much as the other 2 above (I also have a Fidelio x2 that I prefer over the 6xx). Now I have the chance to buy a pair of HD700s (very good condition) for the collection for...

The inner discs change the sound very much. I kind of like how they sound. Best place to buy original pads and cheaper? Seems to be Audio Sanctuary from my research. Everywhere else seems to be more expensive or out of stock. Also going to by the headband padding. HD650 headband padding is much...

As i said yesterday I got a pair of HD 600's for 50 euros. This ones are black cloth ones so they may be at least 10 year olds. Padding needs to be completely replaced but still for the price I think it was worth it. It's a shame the previous owner had the drivers unprotected without the inner...

Done. It worked. I did not suck on it though. Used a vaccum cleaner (gently). Problem is that it is now showing the marks from being bent. It's on the inside, like its starting to crack. But there's nothing I can do about that now. In terms of Sonic performance everything seems fine though...

I know you were not. :D I am going to try it but without dismantling the driver. Don't wanna screw something up :)

White paper part on the middle :)

Blow and suck on 2 posts.... This is getting weird.... :D Not a bad idea though....

So today I made s***.... Bought a pair of black screen hd600s for 50 euros. Pads need replacement a headband padding as well. Problem is they were missing the inside the pads foam disc and the drivers were exposed and therefore they had a bit of dirt/sand on the paper part. I blowed a bit to...

But while they were being made in Romania, the hd25 parts were made there or just the assembly of the headphones? Any reports of malfunctioning senns from Romania? The 600s were also being made there? I don't doubt that the Romanian headphones are as good or better than the ones made in...
