Hello! I recently came across a pair of Pioneer SE-L40s at a swap meet (Flea@MIT, for those who are interested) for $8... I had never heard of them before, but they looked beautiful and seeing as they were Pioneers I figured they couldn't sound that bad (I've since looked them up and I've been...

I just recently won some pioneer SE-l40's on ebay and got them for what im guessing is a pretty reasonable price of $24.50? Well as you can see they are in need of some cleaning. I was wondering if it would be possible to restore this to there original sheen and what would be some good methods...

Over the past year I've discovered the world of high end headphones and since then I have developed an audio fetish. I started my journey trying to find the best headphones for me, but I always seemed to be disappointed. I tried countless of different headphones, everything from Sennheiser...

Yes! I finally completed my quest. About 1 or 2 years back I searched on Google for the words 'most beautiful headphones' and this thread came up (http://www.head-fi.org/t/457576/the-most-beautiful-headphones-you-know-of). I saw the Pioneer SE-L40's and just had to get them. But how? I was...

Ok so first here is the ebay page: http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Pioneer-SE-L40-Over-Head-Headphones-/114486295   If you look at image 3 and 4 on the left cup on the brass, you will see some bubbling of some sort? is this fixable or something serious? Only other problem is the earpad that falls...

Can anyone relate to this -   Your excitedly anticipating the countdown before an item on ebay ends and seconds before the auction closes, you try and snipe down the item with a bid you'd think will get you your precious...   HOWEVER THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE THAAT EXCEEDS ME BY AFEW...

Are these any good? I heard about the SE 20 having great, warm mids..

Being a fan of art, music and headphones, I decided to see if I could find a decent condition pair of SE-L40s for a reasonable price...
