Which glue did you use? Only the side of the earcups right, not the entirety of the cups?

What about the 'automatically adjustable' headband of the HD26? Is it possible to split it 180 degrees like the one from the HD25 ? What precisely is automatical about them?

So dishwashing liquid should be okay?

Nice. Any pictures to share?

Folks, any one spotted the DT48A in Vario Cup 2 on Ebay.de ? It seems the Vario Cup 2 is some kind of Peltor Ear defender. Very intersted in hearing this. Don´t have the money. SOmeone should try it, it seems quite nice. Don´t think you have to pay the whole amount though, buyer accepts...

  Or else what? :(

  That is so sad u didn't agree. That's almost unbearable

  All right so do you agree to volunteer, buy them HP50 and compare them to the HD250? + Write a lengthy review about it with some high rez pics (no iFone pics please) thrown in along the way?

  Cant find anything about a Nad M50 headphone. Do you have a link? Btw nice going u got an impersonator.

Fellas, our good old friend Dale Thorn posted a review of the HD26 on Amazon.com. You should check it.

Beyerdynamic DT250 250 Ohms ? Not as good but still made

The rattle in your Linears could be from hairs touching the membrane. I fixed 2 by just removing hairs with a tweezer. You ofcourse need to open the headphones to get to that membrane

Anyone knows which hex key I need to adjust the headband?

Yes I think you are talking about the stock copper cord right (for the HD25-13)? It's coiled so it's not really an option for on-the-go.   But the HD600 cord can be worn like the HD25 stock cord: it's fine enough to sit tightly in the headband. Ofcourse you'll have some extra 1.5 meter but you...

So my findings with earpads: Earpads make a huge huge difference. The one that gives the most isolation and bass = pleather (what you have). Negatives: It get's hot, sweaty and 2 hours with them = braincrush + the pleather can be too isolating resulting in changes like what yo uexperience in the...

Hey Anda71 welcome. Thanks for your impression. How many hours have you got on your HD26 ? Is the sound signature stable already?

Indeed from Custom Cans. Did you try the HD600 cable yet?

That's interesting. Well let's just say the HD25 are as light as a feather and the Amperior actually weigh something. I mean it's noticeable if you move your head there is extra weight being swung on your head. I actually made my HD25 as comfortable (even more comfortable because it'ss less...

Would be interesting comparing the HD26 to the HD25-13

Really appreciate your comment Xaval. Just for the completeness: did you try the HD25 pleather, velours or aftermarket pads? I am quite jealous you got your DT48a for 60 euros. Where did you get that deal? + Which is getting the most headtime between your DT48a and HD250 II?

Well, I have the HD25 and 2 Amperiors. For a while I had my own HD25 Alu made from my HD25 and 1 Amperior. My biggest problem with the Aluminium cups is that it adds weight and at the same time doesn't do alot soundwise. Iit's the acoustic foam in at the back of the drivers that really make the...

I have no experience with the AKG's except with the horrible and torturing 81 and 518. But honestly the classic HD25 is very well for rock. Rock and electronic music it does very well. So no idea which open headphones rock as good =)

Well if I correctly get your problem, your headband is screwed ? Correct? In that case it wil lnot hold with superglue, I tried this myself. Apparently the cheap Sennheiser HD202 has an headband in which your lovily HD530 will clip into...
