for the HP-1
God, I paid $200 for these! ;-)Anyway, they are nice sounding headphones, though the headband went to pieces after a year, the earcups wore out after five, and the cord broke after eight. The new headband is made from an old pair of bluejeans and I cut the cable and soldered it back into the drivers. No earcups. I'm presently checking ebay for a replacement pair of HP-1s or 2s (so despite all, I still like'm).
