How about refunding of shipping charges (forward and reverse)? (The
Sony parts dept. does!)

For Sony's prices they'd better...

In listening to a batch of recordings for evaluation of
headphones/headphone amps, there is a good possibility that a
unforeseen (untested) situation will arise e.g.; all ranges of male
a female (solo) voices, choruses, organ, etc. etc.

Given that you've not tested the recommend alternative at all, that would be
your problem not mine.

Additionally you
will get no sense whatsoever regarding long term satisfaction with
*any* snap judgment.

As for the durability of the Sennheiser cords,
even they know that their product has a serious problem and will only
allow for one cord during the one year warranty period. (I already
have mine.) Reports of broken Sennheiser headphone cords were and
remain commonplace.

So what? Last time I looked replacements are under $20 at the Sennheiser web
site. The replacement procedure is plug and play. Now let's look at the cost
of replacing the cords on competitive Sony headphones, or for that matter,
headphones from just about anybody else.

I'm sure that there are lots of people who have abused their equipment and
don't want to take responsibility for the consequences. I broke my 580s
early on, but I admit it, I stepped on them. It cost me under $50 to fix
them, and that was that.

My Sennheiser cord became intermittent with 6 months. I suppose you
were extremely lucky with yours.

So what? Lat time I looked, replacements were under $20 at the Sennheiser
web site. The replacement procedure is plug and play.

As for the cost of a good Sennheiser set-up from Headroom: the 600 is
$279,

If you're inclined to waste your money like that when you can get 580s some
place else for nearly $100 less.

a Creek OB-11SE ($349)

Unnecessary,

and a Cardas cord which eliminates the
cord problem only at the plug end, $150,

Unnecessary, if you need a spare on hand, get one from the Sennheiser web
site cheap.

grand total, $778.

Hey, perchance you were manager of $900 hammer for the Navy? This must be
how they did it!

If you wish to get the 580 instead, figure a $80 saving.

If you want to use your brain, figure a $600 saving.

IMO the Stax 3030
system being available for only a single buck more, one would be
foolish to go the Sennheiser route.

....if you buy this claim, I've got a bridge across the Detroit river I'd
like to sell you...

Regardless of cost, and more
importantly how would you compare fit comfort and sound quality?

First thing I did is look at the facts and dismiss the bogus logic and
accounting.
