They come solid and you have to cut holes in them yourself (donut style) to get the best sound." Cut holes in them? Wha? Thanks in advance!

With the SR-80's you have a donut style ear-pad, ie: your ears are pretty much right on the drivers. The SR-60's don't have the same type of ear-pad, instead the driver is covered by the ear-pad, thus you don't get quite the same sound. Most people cut a small hole about the size of a quarter in the earpad, that way they can get a better sound.

For example, check out the SR-60 pads

Now check out the SR-80s

Hey dag... if you're chain-letter headphones thing doesn't work and you still think you won't miss the SR-60s, you know you could always send them my way... I'd be more than happy to compensate
