You guys are killing me, but I have to admit, I'm laughing, too, reading everyone's response to my use of "ghetto @ass shower caps".
Given the unanimous response, I'm starting to think I must have a fetish. LOL
I might as well stick the other foot in my mouth by adding that I actually use "ghetto @ass shower caps" as raincoats for my camera gear when I shoot landscapes (always with a tripod) in the rain.
I keep two of these in my Lowe Pro camera backpack, I hardly notice the extra weight - and these things are awesome for covering gear between exposures, even in a heavy rain.

Highly recommended!

Is it just me, or do I detect some measure of embarrassment in her smile - that she's having to pose in that thing?

Why ?
^^ Love ya Mike, but there is no way I'm putting those ghetto @ss shower caps on my nice hp's. Nope, not gonna do it. I'll suck it up when it's time and replace the pads.

I routinely use these disposable, elasticized covers on the ear pads of all my headphones.

You can see them on the HD800 in this photo:
The large size is fine for LCD-2, PM-1, and HD600/650, but it's a little tight with AKG K550 and way too large for Amperior or DT1350, where the small size is preferable.
I find them to be cooling with both leather and velour pads and they have no detectable impact on sound quality. Needless to say, the pads stay in mint condition for potential resale.

This felt like a recurrent nightmare.
My Mom used to put platic covers on our sofas and chaise longue, in the livingroom. This would keep them looking new and clean for our guests, she told me. But...with those platic covers on, the sofas look horrible most of the time, I objected. We never resolved this disagreemkent .
I am afraid that using those covers on my HD800 would send me into a catatonic state that I may not recover from, a least not without extensive and expensive therapy.
No. Thanks for the suggestion, Mike, but it's best for my sanity to just buy a new pair of HD800 once the pair I am using is worn out.
Cheers )
Reminds me of the Everybody Loves Raymond episode where his mother is forced to take the plastic covers off her furniture. HA!
