There are pad change problems?
Nope the current revision is okay.
I believe he meant the older models but this has been solved a few months ago.
They made the plastic attachments more durable so they wouldn't break easily

There are pad change problems?
Hello everyone! Recently received the HE-500 and they're pretty awesome compared to the HD650...but I don't really want to post impressions because I haven't used them for too long. I wanted to share something else that might have been suggested already....but I'm not certain because I have not read all the pages of this thread. This is my approach to the head cushion problem. I took a spare HD650 head cushion i had laying around and used hair ties to wrap it around the headband, securing the hair ties with bobby pins. It's pretty comfortable, and it offers another alternative to the Beyer pads.
I really have no problems with comfort with the headband. I always found it comfortable, then again I'm a guy who finds nothing wrong in comfort with the Fostex T50RP headband.
ok. bought the he-500 about a month ago, burned it in for well over 200h and really wanted to be overwhelmed...i came from a grado sr-80 so it should have been easy.
And while it is clearly better, i'm a bit disappointed. The disappointment comes from the higher than expected background noise level at high volume listening levels. So much so that it distracts from the music
I went back to the innerfidelity measurement charts and noticed indeed a higher THD-Noise level (at 100db) than its direct competitors. The LCD-2 comes close but better.
Am i the only one noticing this?
Any ways to mitigate this?
thx
