Has anyone tried the Kobitone 600 ohm drivers here:

I have an old HD580, that have been sitting tucked away in a drawer for a long time with a blown right side driver.
thanks
I didn't find any standard hardware store parts that fit my criteria. I may revisit this later, but I decided to put it all together for now. They sound great,but I only had about 15 minutes before having to run out the door for a business trip. I'll post some detailed impressions when I get back next week.
The specs are: cocobolo mushroom cups from yew audio, px100-ii drivers, mogami star quad, ear zonk g-cush, and a neutrik 1/4" jack.

Sorry if this has been answered before.
but has anyone tried hd650 drivers? http://headphonespares.sennheiser.co.uk/hifi-tv-headphones/hd-650/dynamic-neodymium-capsule-300r.html
Those new Parts Express drivers look interesting. I'm anxious to hear your impressions. Still no AGK Chinese drivers! Been months so I put an email in for a status update.
The price for both drivers should be around 100$ + shipping, but you know what, the enclosure plays a critical role and you don't know how easy or hard could be taking them out of the plastic support.
Following the same line: the sennheiser hd239 cost less than 50$ on amazon, but I presume they share the same px100ii driver.
I'm temped to experiment with alternate housings all together, since the black plastic grill does not provide much contact area with the cups. I would definitely rather use something that was as deep as the rest of the driver for mounting. I'm going to hit the hardware store tomorrow and see if I can find some sort of rubber washer that's the right size.
