Old technology still good technology
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought an original set of HD414 soon after they came out (yup, I've been around a while), and they were falling apart from the use. Got the anniversary model and would still have them if a foster greyhound hadn't decided they were a chew toy (she was a cute dog but if we had a god house she would have been there until she was adopted. Still has a new set of replacement foam ear pads - the only thing problematic with them is the ear pads would deteriorate do had bought a couple of replacements.
Now, to the sound. I do video editing in a home office, and while I use Sony pro headsets when doing production, I find them too confining when editing. Working late at night, the 414s are perfect. Lightweight, great sound, can work with them for hours. I bought one of the smaller Sennheisers, which just weren't the same, sound quality was good but they just weren't the same (I now keep them in my DSLR bag, their smallness and relatively short cable kind of go better with a small camera compared to my big broadcast gear). And I use an old but decent receiver with the 414s (they are relatively insensitive so the computer audio and self-powered studio monitors I use don't crank them very high) that can also play other sources and really crank, though being open air they can be heard faintly in the next room when really turned off.
I'm very, very happy that I found a good buy and a good condition (close to new condition for something from decades ago) that performs as I remember both the originals and the anniversary model. Maybe Sennheiser will come out with a 50th if both they and I are still around!
We know the folks who adopted the dog, and she's still doing well. I've almost forgiven her!
If you like this kind of headphone, highly recommended.

Had to replace the old one
Have used a 500G as a travel and compact tripod for decades - small yet sturdy, though it now is used not just for photos but digital audio recorders and other uses. Finally, after many dents and dings, the old one suffered a cracked head. This replacement is in great shape, reasonably priced, and on regular service.

Good color, outstanding price
1 of 1 found this helpful This is a very nice monitor with good color, and the price was outstanding. Except for not coming in a pretty retail box, I could not see a difference between it being a refurb and a fresh monitor. Perfect size for our use.
