With better pads I can see these quickly becoming my preferred portable headset.

msechtI assume you mean the donut-style Grado pads? I just ordered some, that was not something that owuld have ever occurred to me.
I suppose I should get some Yaxi pads too, just to see what all the fuss is about.

AxessDenydYes. the knock offs work well also. The big donut foam pads fit over the KPH30i pads completely and it is like wearing pillows. Some sound trade offs may occur but can mostly be overcome with an EQ. I did not notice any substantial difference. I bought a pair for 8 bucks and they are great. I think better than the Yaxi pads. I like the Yaxi pads for the Porta Pro.

I look at everything based on a price to performance ratio. For the ridiculous (cheap) price you pay for these and the higher-end performance you achieve, I can deal with some variables that may (or may not) make them less comfortable. Right now I use 9 different headphones, ranging from conventional to planar - yet when I put on the KPH30's, the sound-staging and audio quality makes me forget the rest (at least temporarily). I suggest to everyone in the market for headphones, not to overlook this long-standing model. And in he end you have to determine what is more important to you - build quality, comfort, or sound? Of course, you can have all three to a degree but you'll pay out the ying yang in the process. Now go figure?

Had a pair and really liked them. However, they are made of cheap plastic and broke after 6 months of use. I wasn’t wearing them moving around either. Very disappointed.

It's really a nice little system. I don't need anything more on the Solid State side of my system. I have a couple of Schiit pieces. Currently working on old school side panels made of beautiful...

Have a pair of HIFI Man 4XX?
Drop everything you're doing and go to your streaming account (I prefer Spotify and Tidal) and pull up (search for) Ulrich Schnauss & Jonas Munk then find track 7 (Chasing Rainbows). Strap in and plug in your amp, and hit play. You can thank me later! No streaming account? Try this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_mE0TE9a-Y&t=1715s

Great pair of desktop speakers! Pairing with a DAC will really bring out the best in them (not required but if you have one, try it out!). Great value deal here from Drop.

Recommends for 6XX replacement cable(s)?
The wires on the left channel plug, just before the socket are acting up and I need to replace the cable for my Sennheiser 6XX headphones. Looking at Amazon, I see actual Sennheiser cables but one of them does not have the removable 1/4 plug (I use a DAC with 1/8" jack), and I would rather not add even more connection unknowns by using an adapter down to 1/4", and the other Sennheiser cable is far too long for my usage (looking for around 2 meters or just a touch longer. The 6XX have been around for a while and I'm sure I'm not the first to need a replacement cable. I'm actually surprised that Drop doesn't offer them perpetually like they do with the ear pads, which ironically my stock pads are holding up just fine. I'm not looking for $100+ cables here, just a solid replacement for what the 6XX came with. Thanks!
