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?

hfi-780 and cmoy amp.

Quote: I am out of warranty unfortunately...this is very disappointing--I treated these cans very well, kept them on a headphone stand when not being used, etc.

I used a precision screwdriver but it still stripped it.

here's a pic of my broken D2000s     There must be a screw inside there that holds the metal part of the headband onto the earcup holder. I can hear it rattling around in there. However, when I tried to remove those two screws that the blu arrows are pointing to, I stripped the crap out...

I'm guessing you're liking these cans with silent cinema eh? I feel your pain on the short cable. I haven't bought an extension cable yet. I don't want to spend a ton of money on one but I also don't want to cheap out and get something that will adversely affect the sound quality. Quote...

unfortunately it doesn't look like I have pure direct mode on this AVR, but I do remember reading in a manual for a different model that silent cinema doesn't work with pure direct on. Quote:  

I played some black ops using "action game" dsp and it sounded pretty awesome.

I've got the RX-v371BL which I believe is the entry level model of the 2011 series of yamaha AVRs. I am pretty much only using it for silent cinema so thats why I got the cheapest model. I also have an astro mixamp and to me personally silent cinema is much better than dolby headphone, but I...

I bought a new yamaha av receiver today and let me tell you these cans sound superb watching movies with silent cinema mode. I just wish I'd done this sooner :)

I had a brief power outage at my house earlier, and my computer was on at the time. Now, whenever I use the USB audio input on the maverick I get popping and clicking sounds. I have tried multiple usb inputs and different cables and I still get the issue. My usb mouse and keyboard still work...

sorry about that; my comment was about the D2000s, not the 900s. The 900 build quality is definitely top-notch. My D2000s broke and I treated those things like a newborn. Quote:
