I replaced the headband with a ZMF pilot pad after it snapped. More comfortable and better at distributing weight.
Nice! I just ordered a pair now. I appreciate the suggestion

As far as the Emotiva A-100 running the Abyss, I found it does just fine from the headphone jack. No need for a speaker adapter. Just remove the internal resistor or jumper, I can't remember which. Then full output power is available from headphone jack. And that is serious power. And nothing to degrade the sound.

That’s an awesome idea.
Though what did you do for the elastic chord (i presume that is what snapped)

Just some of my wife's spare new hair ties
I used it cause it was black. You could of course find better elastic bands but this works for me.

Haha, since we are trading DIY tricks. This is a combo of velcro strips and small rubber bands

At least if someone breaks into your house, they'll probably go straight past the DIY looking sock headphones not knowing their value...

To be honest they will probably walk past all of our audio gear. Not many folks have any clue how much any of our gear costs.

I need to make a call and add all of my Stereo equipment. That should be a pretty interesting call.

For those with the CC or TC ceramic coating how are you finding the durability? Is the finish susceptible to scratches or chipping?
