It's only the smell. I ended up buying some leather cleaner. I'll see if that works first.

Mine are starting to smell real bad. Doesn't matter how much I wash them, the smell won't go away. I guess wearing them during gym sessions was a bad idea.

Anyone know any decent replacement ear pads I can get in the uk? Will pads for over ear momentum 1s fit the 2.0?

I've had my pair of grados for a couple of years now.. Recently ive been having a problem with the headphone plug leaking some type of green liquid. Anyone else had this problem before?

I've been meaning to buy a Cambridge Audio phono pre amp for while. This changes everything.. it will be interesting to see how this compares with the 651p and other pre amps in the same price range.

I'm thinking about picking this up. I read that you need short cables for this to be effective. That's fine for my phono preamp and headphone amp.. but do you also need short cables to connect to a pair of speakers? At the moment there's about a metres gap between my speakers and phono amp.

sorry to hijack this thread, but I also have a bunch of questions...   At the moment I'm just using my headphones straight from my laptop. I'm planning on getting a turntable and a pre amp (Project Debut III/Cambridge Audio 640).. and I also still want to play my music from my iTunes.   ...

I'm still pretty clueless about headphone amps...   I'm planning on buying a turntable/phono preamp in the future.. will this set up still work with the e9?
