5+ years later I still love these headphones.  But they need new ear pads, and could use a refurbish.  Is there someone on here who does things like that?

Thanks Tony... I LOVE Jimmy Smith... I got his Finest Hour CD, and he's right up my alley. I think he should sing more though, hes really good in "got my mojo workin". I also purchased Moanin' (With The Jazz Messengers) (1999) by Art Blakey... Very good as well. I'll definately look into...

I guess I just called it Jazz cause I consider Ray Charles a Jazz artist. Boogie-woogie soul eh? Maybe I should change the title

A perfect example of what I'm looking for is: Mess Around - Ray Charles. It's upbeat, has piano, horns. Ray's style of singing in that song is great. I'm new to the genre, and trying to find more albums/songs that fit the style, anybody lend me a hand? Even other ray songs, he has so many...

First Impressions: OMGHOLYCOW!!!11 Everything I wanted (except local, but that was only because guitar center was sold out). They are not even burned in yet, i'm not amplifying them, and they are NIGHT AND DAY better than anything else I've ever used (headphones or speakers). The...

ha, i am definately excited to see what Beyer says about them.

Last week I got a great deal on some new BeyerDynamics, and I expect fedex to drop them off today (stupid no monday deliveries!). Anyway, me being the anxious geek that I am, have been reading reviews of them in anticipation wetting my chops. Most of the reviews are older, and don't...

Sweet! You saved me a bunch of money Towert7. The offer was accepted, with CA sales tax, and shipping, I'm getting the DT770Pro/80 set for $162. $40 less than the 595's and probably 50+ less than if i got the 770's from guitar center. My Hero!

ha! crap... I had to cancel my order, I realized that the 595's are open, and it is pretty important that I ditch most outside noise. back to square one. sigh.

Because it looked like I was going to waste my money by being impatient and buying local, I purchased Sennheiser 595's for $194 on Amazon. The reviews were amazing both here, and on thier site, so I took the plunge. Can't wait to get my hands on them next week!

Guitar Center has the Audio-Technica ATH-A500 Headphones for 150, what do you think of them?
