btw, im using the stock foamie

I never liked the stock foamie. Go to Radioshack and get yourself the their earphone/headphone foam replacement pads, they sound much better than the Sennheiser stock ones to my ears.

yeah, they can do with a slightly thicker (or even two) foamy. they shouldn't bery bright, perhaps slightly fatiguing (I still get that with high volumes after a while, and mine should be broken in by now

), but not bright.

I can listen to my mx500s all day long. I do use the radio shack foamies, but I had no problem listening to them with the stock foamies either.

I guess they don't fatigue my ears.

I found that the stock foamies were very thin, and they hurt!
