Hi all - I've been browsing the forums for about a week looking for information on upgrading my headphones.
I came into a pair of Pioneer SE-DIR800C wireless cans, and sold them for headphone cash and extra cash on eBay. I have ~$220 left. After reading the forums, I decided on the Sennheiser HD-580's. How much is the approximate street value for a used pair of 580's? Ebay shows very varying prices...
I called Sennheiser USA's spare parts line today, to confirm that you can't buy the HD-600 grills anymore. They quoted $37.50 EACH for HD-650 grills. Disguisting! Is there any company that still sells the 600 grills or that makes a better looking grill for the 580 than what comes stock on it?
Also, currently I am running HD-515's. I am quite partial to the one-sided cable setup, and am wondering if there's any way to convert the 580's to a one-sided setup, and if there are any reasons why the higher-end cans tend to have cable-per-side.
As for amplification, I'll be running the HD-580's through a Headroom Total Bithead amp (got it for free... would be using something else if I had to pay for it).
Thanks!
