Take it from me Barry...Ive just got my 70's vintage 4AA's out of the cupboard just to try as a comparison against HD650's and they are "heavy, sweaty and uncomfortable" as hell. I thought my HD650 were a bit of a lump but after the 4AA's they are featherweight.....Originally Posted by Barry

I'm not doubting you Ray, it's just that compared to the Pro 4AAs the ESP-6s really are "heavy and sweaty".
It's been a long time since I used Sennheisers: probably the best phones I have used, but even then, the longest time I could wear them was only about half an hour.

I'm Dave.
If there was any call for them I would but to be honest, I can't remember when I was last asked for headphones - not even Stax, which I used to have on dem and in stock.If the new ones are any good, Dave, would you consider stocking them?
I'm not sure if you bother with headphones, or if you do, which ones you sell.
Marco.
A similar situation with tuners - it's years since I was asked to supply a tuner...
