Or you could get the Hifiman he400 for $ 250 or less. Those prices you state are top end prices and you're taking a chance with old used gear IMO. I liked my yh100 a lot but they hurt my ears after very little time listening. They were heavy too. Now I have hifiman he5le and they are the best of both worlds, ortho and comfortable. Sound amazing too.

I saw those did you get them and if you did how do you like them?
Hey guys, been lurking for a little while and I have a dilemma. I'm getting more and more interested when reading about the potential of the vintage Yamaha orthos. There is a local audio shop near where I live where I went to try some speakers and headphones and what do you know? They had some YH-1 (or HP-1, doesn't really matter) on display. I tried them on and I was instantly blown away from trying my first pair of ortho's. They were on sale for $200, and I haven't made a decision yet. I also saw a pair of YH-100's on ebay for around $250, and I've read that they require some modding to make them sound their best. What do you guys think I should do? Buy the YH-1's and refurbish them (the owner is a great guy), or go for the YH-100's and mod them? Also, I've been scouring this thread and haven't been able to find good pictures/description of how to add damping to the YH-100 to make it better. Could anyone help me out?
