i assume that you mean using these headphones with a WM-CD5.  they probably
wouldn't work too well unless they especially designed to be usable into
a standard headphone jack.  the output voltage isn't high enough, and
i wouldn't want to carry the adaptor for electrets or the power supply
to run the adaptor for electrostatics.  remember that you have to charge
the electrostatic phones to some 2 or 3 kV with your power supply and
keep it there.
