Starship Krupa Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 At Walmart.com of all places. I was at GC the other night looking for replacement earpads for a set of Sony MDR-7506 that I had snagged in the "free" box at a yard sale and took the opportunity to try out various studio cans. My favorites turned out to be the K240's. I'm a headphone 'ho, I have a few of the traditional studio faves, ATH-M50x, Beyer DT880, Superlux 681, but my favorite of the ones I listened to at Guitar Center was the AKG, so I'm getting a pair of those. $55 for brand new seems like a steal. BTW, when (not if) you need to replace the pads on your MDR-7506's (or any other headphones), my favorite pad replacements are the Krone Kalpasmos Instant Chill, which have a layer of memory foam and a layer of gel on top of that. They improved the MDR-7506's sound by bringing the drivers closer to my ears and sealing against my head better. I had found them lacking in the bass dept. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 For earpads (and headphone parts in general), you may want to look in aliexpress. Slow, but hard to beat prices https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesale-mdr%25252d7506.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
