what's up with it? I just got a pair yesterday, and I already broke one of the little foamy things because they were so hard getting on - where can I buy a replacement?

and also, is the volume control supposed to be next to useless? If I put it all the way to minimum, the sound volume is still at a normal listening-level - e.g. the difference between MIN and MAX is not a whole lot with my specimen, is this the way it's supposed to be?

as a positive note, the sound quality seems impeccable though =)

You can buy replacement pads at radio shack.

The volume control doesn't really make that much of a difference. . . I mean, its not like mute. . .

well i sincerely doubt we have radio shack in denmark=)

you should have some electronics-parts-store even in Denmark. y'know, where they sell all sorts of cables, cartridges, connectors, maintenance stuff, spare parts etc etc. usually in the larger towns.

....the "volume control" is a joke.

Hmmm. The sliding in-line volume control on my Sony 821's completely mutes the sound when turned all the way down, too.

Maybe something wrong with your Senn's?

my volume control also works as advertised.. sounds like you got a defective unit?

My MX500 volume control works perfectly - except from a bit of static.
