I hate the coiled cord on these things. Is it easy to open up the earpiece to replace it with a straight cord? Is the attachment soldered or mechanical? Anyone know of a source for a straight cord terminating in a 1/8" stereo mini-plug? - I'd like to get something premade rather than make up my own.
If this is the case where the solution has to be cutting the cord and attaching a straight cord externally, what gauge wire does the cord use - is it large enough to be able to work with easily (i.e., 24 ga. or larger?).
Thanks.

Your best bet is to ask at head-fi: www.head-fi.org

I did hear from one of the regulars on the Sony Vegas forum that the cord uses the "tinsel" wire - lots of very thin strands individually laquered with cloth threads in the wind. That stuff is a real b**ch to work with, though I have done it before. So cutting the cord is definitely not an option....

I would just leave it then...
For what its worth, I've had my 7506's for 7+ years and have had not a single problem with them. If anything, I highly recommend the Beyerdynamic DT-250 velour pads to replace those annoying pleather pads. The extra comfort will bring a :D to your face. ;D
