Hi Mike - thanks for your interest. The headphones are in good condition, there are no scuffs on them. If you look closely there a couple of light surface marks in the top of the 'phones but no scratches. The foam pads are fine - no tears and still 'springy' They are in perfect working order and don't need much in the way of power (~3-5 watts) to drive them. I used them with a Mccormack integrated drive and lately with a WAD Kit 88.
