For the HD-595:
1) Get some foam, by ordering 580 replacement foams or buying Radio Shack replacement headphone foam pads and cutting around the edges to get a flat disk.
2) Get some rubber cement and scissors.
3) Remove the earpads by grabbing one side and giving a swift tug.
4) Remove the protective fabric over the drivers by slipping your finger under the edge and sliding around the perimeter to pop it lose.
5) Remove the three Phillips head screws holding the driver baffle in place and lift the driver baffle out. It's attached with wire leads, but there's enough slack to sit it on the table beside the earcup. DON'T LOSE THE SCREWS!
6). Glue as big a piece of foam as you can onto the inside of the perforated cup. Just brush an little rubber cement on the inside and press the foam down.
7) If you have the patience, just start cutting and gluing little pieces of foam on all the other surfaces of the cup. It doesn't have to be pretty, you can shove the foam around to fit. The only places you can't put foam:
a) There's a little ledge around a third of the perimeter that the driver baffle sits tightly against. If you put foam on this ledge, the driver baffle won't go back in!
b) You have to leave the three screw posts and two more alignment posts clear of foam so the driver baffle can be reinstalled. Either work around them or cut a hole in the foam and slip the foam over the post.
Put it all back together. That's it.
