So, I really love my Sony MDR7506 but the cable has a short right by the jack and they don't work consistently. What's the best course of action to repair this? Also - any recommendations for replacement ear pads are welcome.

Dr.McCoyCan you handle soldering? It is pretty simple to cut the cord (Once you know where the break is). Buy a replacement 3.5mm jack and resolder it. I have done this many times with my B&O and Klipsch iem’s. It is a fairly common problem and when you have a lot of money invested, it is crazy to buy another pair. I like the right angle ones so you can relieve the stress on the socket too. The soldering supplies should cost 25 bucks for what you would need.

Dr.McCoyAs for replacement pads, avoid cheap $10 fake-leather - too small and sweaty. Velour are more comfortable and durable than original. I bought myself "Beyerdynamic EDT250V Headphone Ear Pads" for $20 - they fit perfectly.

wineguy13Somehow I totally missed this when you actually posted it.
Unfortunately, I think that the break is actually on the right lead and also near the jack - necessitating a total replacement of the cable essentially. I've not had time to look into tutorials since I posted this but I'm very interested in trying to replace the cable with a 3.5mm detachable.
