New Head-Fier
I got mine at a ridiculous price of 70 euros, near mint state. As I am a tinkerer, I needed to open it up. The padding on the rear of the driver was disintegrated. I replaced it with a de-make-up pad. The previous owner replaced the earpads with those nasty ones with stitching on the edges. They hurt like hell.
I found a perfect replacement with some Soulwit earpads with foam intended for the AKG 175.
It's also easy to upgrade to a balanced 4.4mm Furutech jack. Be sure to get out the magnifying glasses for some fiddly soldering on those 4 rods inside an already tiny plug.
As the cherry on top, I treated myself to an Earmen Angle Headphone DAC/Amp, which was discounted to 299 euros.
This combination is angelic—zero harshness, natural timbre and tonality and a big soundstage.
