but theres a mountain of threads about pad cleaning techniques, and they vary from model to model (for example AKG/Senn velour pads vs Grado pads vs vintage vinyl vs leather etc)

Yeah. Like "what headphone is best for me" discussions?

Edit: but props to that new member for at least using the Search function.

Heh, it's true, resurrecting this exact thread isn't the smartest thing to do, but thread resurrection isn't always bad was what I meant.

I'd agree with you but I posted a couple of those myself.

I'm not proud of it, but I think the thing is, unless someone makes a recommendation directed at you, it's hard to feel confident about your decision.

Sweet! Please send the $5 to my PayPal account: stand[underscore]1998@hotmail.com

Thanks for the tips guys. Yes I'm new, been trying to dissect this mountain of information for a few weeks now. Yes I know how to search, and use it frequently to avoid thread crapping. Yes I resurrected this thread based on my search results. YES I even subscribed to the thread to followup with posts! And finally, yes I came back to post again! You are right, I am the champion

I have a used pair of Senn HD 595 coming my way thanks to this forum, and because I'm picky on cleanliness, I was looking for information on cleaning.

Some great tips here, again, thank you!

^Haha, I was hoping this would happen!

wow, the first time a random new member revives a thread and actually not only stays around, but has a good sense of humor about it, most of them are all "screw you, I do what I want"

Anybody has an idea how to clean inside the headphones cup ? Especially the area around the driver assembly and even within it ? How to get the dust and dirt out without destroying the very fragile diaphragm ? One head-fi member lost very expensive headphones when a vacuum cleaner was used.
