Hi, I have some Sony MDR CD1700 headphones, bought them in 1999 and they've served me really well...but I really wanted something a bit smaller like the B&W P5s.  The sound quality on the Sonys is outstanding, and I'm wondering how the P5s compare really.  I especially like jazz and vocals.  The P5s look to be perfect in terms of size and weight.
 
There's a little plastic thing on my CD1700s headband that cracked and the leather-look piece has worn out..... do you think they're still sellable?  Sony is absolutely useless in sourcing any parts. Even at HQ...
 
A side note...how's that Chesky Binaural album I saw advertised here ? =))))  I only just discovered about binaural, it's amazing!

I have a stock CD1700 that is out of use with mint ear pads. It first belonged to Tiemen. I don't have a real idea how much it is worth but if you want a spare CD1700 just PM me. 
 
P.S. I am serious.

PM sent =) (I hope!)
By the way, I should mention that the P5s will be for the iPhone when traveling ....but mostly for analogue (vinyl records) at home.
I have a secret Julie London collection....that sort of thing.  Don't tell anyone

I had the CD770 and in a way preferred them to the D7000 because of their larger soundstage, the D7000 are just better overall. For what it's worth I'd take a CD770/CD1700 over both the D2000 and D5000.
 
For Julie London checkout Beyers DT48, I would also suggest a Sony DR-Z or a top-of-the-line Grado but they don't do travel.

In some ways the DT48E and CD1700 are quite different to say the least. For some music I must admit the DT48E can sound phenomenal.
