   This is what I still use. You can get replcement headband covers and ear   
   pads for them.  Beware the M70x, which is way out of the price range here   
   but deserves a mention because despite its overall slightly cleaner sound   
   and more accurate bottom end, the hinges that attach the earpieces to the   
   headband will crack, for sure, rendering it useless.  There is certainly   
   no shortage of repair advice on Google, but hey -- you know..
