AKG K240 headphones $55 free shipping

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.

For earpads (and headphone parts in general), you may want to look in aliexpress. Slow, but hard to beat prices
