I have heard that the fabric pads from the Beyer DT250 work very well and can be had for about $20 .
Thank you. I'll look into that. :thmbsp:

i've always loved my koss pro4AAA's. heavy as a two a.m. drunken pickup, but they sound great.
Sure wish I could get new earpads for my MDR-V6 phones. For the number of those things that they sold and the fact that the deteriorating leatherette (very sticky) problem was known early on, it seems like Sony dropped the ball on that one.
I do like the MDR-V6s and have improvised, but....

They sound good, tone controls on the phones as well as volume let you tweak it fairly easily. They are heavy, and if the foam is too crushed they are not comfy. But in good shape they are great. Great highs and decent lows. The isolation is good as well.How do those pioneer phones sound dualhead and andy. Pretty decent? I see these up on ebay all the time in decent shape and for good prices.
I think you're talking about the TK33. They usually go for peanuts on eBay. The answer to your question is yes, but in stock form there's not a lot of bass. If that doesn't scare you off right away, drive them with some topnotch old gear (eg, a good MOSFET receiver like the Kyocera R-851 with the semiparametric tone controls) and the sound can be amazing. The driver in the TK33 is unique: it's a back-electret, just like A-T's current electret condenser microphones. Just don't expect modern electrostatic sound from them right out of the box.Are the oldschool Signet electrostat ones anygood?
They still make the Sony MDR-V6:yes: Bought a pair around 1978 and they were later stolen:tears: Picked up another set last year and they still sound sweet:thmbsp:Sure wish I could get new earpads for my MDR-V6 phones.

I bought these Pioneers just because i liked the way they looked. They probably aren't the best but I have nothing to compare them to.
