Yeah definitely no warranty here! Ive been quoted a mere $150 for a new headband (HD600), not including delivery. Great headphones and all, but it is a curved bit of plastic... oh and some foam.   I think I'm going to wait for 4-5 weeks when I'm in New York city. Anyone know of a repair...

Thanks mrAdrian. I suppose the parts do look a little pricey but its better than just sending the 580s off to landfill!

Hi - I have a pair of HD580s that i've had for several years and the headstrap (i.e. the plastic band on top of yer head) has finally broken. The plastic has cracked in 2 right at the top.    I realise this is a 600 appreciation thread - but I'd be really grateful if anyone has advice about...

Does anyone know where you can get the 600 grills in Australia?

Ive recently got a pair of 580s that were new in the box. According to the headband - they're made in Ireland, of all places. Does this say anything about which production run theyre from? I know for example, that some are made in Germany. Cant say I'm knocked out yet by any means - but...

The grills are easy to buy from Senn USA? They do look better... Oh the agony, the agony!

thanks for these replies! As I indicated in my accidental duplicate thread in the full-size forum, I was (again accidentally) in fact asking for comparisons with the d2000. Which just reinforces how good the modded 580's with a good amp, still are! Man I cant wait to hear some great music...

Youre completely correct- I meant the d2000 - its comparable with the price of 2nd hand 580. Less wine - more careful writing! Ahem. Sorry for the runaround jmht. Apologies for listing this post in the amp forum - that was a newbie mistake. Yeah I'm very interested in the comparison of...

Hi - I'm looking for a first, high-range headphone. I'm stuck between the old and the new - seems these two can be bought for similiar price ranges. I listen to classical/orchestral - and want reference uses as well as pure listening. I'm interested in the 580 as an approximation of the...
