I might have to try that! I don't wear these headphones outside of my home so appearance isn't all that important. :beyersmile:

What are you using for your headband? Looks like foam taped to it? Does that work well? The two "pads" on my pair have completely come off. I tried super gluing them back on but that didn't hold for long. I am kinda desperate to find a new solution!

I've had these headphones a few months now and I absolutely love them. I haven't used my other cans at all since getting these. However, sometimes I really need a closed back because of noise. Also, with summer coming up, my air conditioner will be going full blast, so there may be times where...

I just remembered that I had a 15' Canare headphone extension cable in my closet. I seem to remember it degrading the sound when using with another pair of headphones, but I can't tell a perceptible difference with the Shures.

I just picked up a pair of SRH1540s, and I was worried because I have a large head, but they fit just fine. Being bald probably helps.    The cable is too short for my needs though. Can anyone suggest a longer replacement cable that won't cost an arm and a leg? I see a lot of cables on ebay...

sorry to bump this but I would really like to know if anyone else has this or if I have a defective set. You can barely press on the right earcup and you can hear it creaking/flexing. The left earcup is solid with no creaking or flexing whatsoever.   I can hear a creaking or crackling sound...

does anyone else have any creaking coming from the right earcup?

I'm trying to decide between MDR-Z7 and the DT-1770. These would be used primarily for blu-rays and PS4/PC gaming. I've demoed the Z7s and was very impressed, but I've not heard the 1770s in person. If anyone happens to own/owned both what are your thoughts? I currently use the dt770 pro 80 but...

Is there a place to order replacement ear cups from sony? Wouldn't mind having a spare set just in case.

edit:nevermind

 I currently use Ultrasone pro 900s plugged into my Yamaha rx-v371 receiver for blu-ray watching and pc/console gaming. They sound fine but they really become uncomfortable and fatiguing after wearing them for an extended time.   I recently tried my nephew's dt770 pro/80s through my receiver...

Denon D2000- Not because of the sound quality, they sounded great. but they broke in less than 6 months, and I treated them like a baby. 

...

d5k vs d7k for strictly blu-ray watching and single player gaming? is the D7k worth the extra cost just for those purposes?
