there should be a bunch of stuff on ebay that would work. I'm sure if you can't find something specifically for the dt250 that you can fit them in anything made for grados.

I'm not associated with this seller in any way but I bought the case and some earpads from him and they are very good. Earpads are not genuine but very high quality.

What headphones to the pads fit? It looks like a Sennheiser HDxxx in the picture

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

The pads I bought were for a different headphone, just from the same seller. I was transplanting Koss PortaPro drivers into a KOSS 4AAAT enclosure and I replaced the vinyl pads of that headphone with velour pads for an AKG K240. Resulting headphone is really good, one of my favorite 'fun' headphones (good punchy sound but not too resolving).

You can buy cases of different sizes from him, so just measure your DT250 and buy the appropriate case...

Beyerdynamic 250/250 drivers in wood. Stock Beyer velour pads, Brainwavz HM5 headband. Cups have some very minor open-cell foam damping and had to be hermetically sealed (no venting) to obtain best results.

Very nice sounding.

Very nice, as always. Did you encounter channel matching issues? How much were the drivers?

I had an old 250 lying around, so I used those drivers. During the modding process I killed one of the drivers, so I had to order a replacement. I was quite pleasantly surprised that this driver did not have any significant variance from the old one. The replacement wasn't cheap, though, about $80 shipped.

Impressive, I never expected the DT250-250 to be woodied.

Is there an audible improvement worth mentioning?

I don't understand why Tyll hasn't reviewed his pair yet. I really think these cans are still better than most closed cans in its price range until today.
