Some of the best headphones I've used have been the Senheiser hdr32 I think the model number is and for performance they were the best buy I've made apart from the Grado Labs SR60I which I've referred to in earlier messages.
I still have the Senheiser pair but they need replacement cables and elements so I'm debating whether to do that or to buy a completely new pair, parts for those things just don't come cheap. The Sehneiser cans are not electro static.
