Just received my new earpads for my Sennheiser HD660S after they been worn for 6 years. I was always waiting for a price drop for the original pads but that never came ๐. Last week I couldn't wait anymore so I bite the bullet and paid 39.99 for a pair of ear fabrics ๐ . As long they hold for another 6 years I'll be happy that I do the jump.
I am like this. I skip buying stuff that needs an obvious replacement while ordering takeout.
It feels incredibly difficult to buy a new pair of shoes even if they literally have holes in them, while I can order takeout several days in a week no problem.
