    Work great, I dont need them.

    Headband elastic suspension thing kinda lost its springyness so they kinda slide down a bit.
    Both AKG logos are missing from the sides. No front foam/anything. Nice (Audio technica?) velour pads on it.

    Cool double driver angled parabolic tech in it.

    If you have medium to big ears like me, your ears will touch the plastic parabolic thing and cause pain after a bit. Other than that though the pads are really
    B comfy.

    Not sure what these go for. Saw one sold listing on ebay for $100.

    Pretty sure I got these with a bunch of other headphones on craigslist for like $80 or something.

    $50? Something like that, whatever. Someone take these, use them.

    I have big ears and they never touched the driver fwiw. For whoever buys them I’d definitely recommend getting new pleather AKG k240 pads which is what these were sold with originally. But I could imagine velour sounding better especially if not the AKG velour pads.

    Thats weird, maybe its just my ear shape. I dont notice it until like 30 min to an hour of wearing them I feel it.

    Yeah, I think I got these without pads or they had discusting old pads i threw away.

    Here are some measurements I took of them (And other headphones because its an old image). Pretty sure this was with the old pads though

    Makes sense why I thought the HD250 have more bass. They do.

    If no one wants these within a few days, then to eBay they go.
