One of the great things about the Sennheiser HD25 models is that they
are (in theory) totally serviceable. This is one of the reasons they
look so low-tech (they really do look like something out of the 50s or
60s.) The Sony 700 looks terrific, which I think is one reason they are
so popular, but it seems to be their downfall too.
