    HRT MicroStreamer issues

    Hi all,   I have just received my HRT MicroSteamer to use on my work PC (windows 7) so I can listen to music in the day.   I've been trying to use it today and there is a major problem with it I can't overcome. Anything I listen too, whether music through Winamp, youtube or even windows...

    [Review] Sennheiser IE800: Impressions, Frustration and a bunch of What-Ifs

    Although I have my ongoing fuzzy issue (which I'm starting to think is an enhanced, or clearer, realisation of the effects of mastering of a quality that's less than the quality these headphones reveal) I think the IE800s are the best in ears I've ever heard and I love my pair.   However, if...

    The Loudness War - your experiences

    Personally I consider the original Brothers in Arms CD by Dire Straits to be one of the best sounding masters I own. It's not surprising as it was one of the first albums specifically mastered to the new CD format, rather than vinyl first CD second. Fast forward 20 years and they remaster it, I...

    IE 800 distortion issue

    Sorry, I've been away from the tread for a good few days. Thanks for the help and suggestions. I just have a minute to paste some track info I've collected.   Here's some tracks that show the issue, I can sent parts of tracks if you don't access to these versions:     Pink Floyd – Album...

    IE 800 distortion issue

    @Spyro   I don't listen to them loudly generally,  however the issue remains at different volume levels, even quiet   @hedphonz   That's very kind, thank you. I'll hack up some offending songs and pass on the problematic sections to you with them onto you if you're happy with that? It may...

    [Review] Sennheiser IE800: Impressions, Frustration and a bunch of What-Ifs

    @utdeep   Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to test that specific track again across a few of my devices and headsets to make sure it's definitely really only the IE 800s. I think the only way to get to the bottom of it is to find a second pair of IE800s somewhere that allows me to try it...

    [Review] Sennheiser IE800: Impressions, Frustration and a bunch of What-Ifs

    Hi all,   I was wondering if any IE 800 owners wouldn't mind taking a look at another thread I opened today? I'm having a problem with the IE 800s and I could use some help with checking for distortion if anyone's willing?   The thread is...

    IE 800 distortion issue

    @hedphonz   Thanks for the reply.   I'll put together a list tonight, I noted down a few tracks at home but I should probably build up a better list of tracks and times it happens to me. It's always repeatable as well so it's not an occasional thing.   I tried working out if it's just a...

    IE 800 distortion issue

    Hi All,   I'm looking for some information or experience from other IE 800 owners on a problem I have with my set. A lot of music I'm listening too, mostly rock of various 'strengths' from U2 to Pantera, has a fuzzy distortion over the top of a lot of it (separate to expected instrumentation...

    Sennheiser HD800 Certificate for Frequency Response Arrived

    I wonder what the comparable results would be with other headphones in the same conditions with the same graph resolutions? High and top-end headphones such as HD650, HD700, LCD-2/3 even the Orpheus if it were possible to do. You may praise all HD800s for their awesome and unmatched neutrality...

    Would the HD700s be a good addition to existing HDVD800, HD800 and HD650 setup?

    Hi ProtegeManiac,   It's not that I need them so much, more that I'd enjoy collecting and owning them and using them depending on my mood. I love the HD650s and when I bought them I thought it would hard to beat them by any large stretch, then I bought the 800s and I realised that in many ways...

    Would the HD700s be a good addition to existing HDVD800, HD800 and HD650 setup?

    Thanks I appreciate the perspectives.   I do believe (with your help) I've made my mind up to buy them. I'm sure I won't regret it at all :)   I somehow believe I would have always come to this choice in the end. Please Sennheiser, for the sake of my marriage, don't bring out an HD750 or 850...
