Reply to review by 'shake' on item 'Sennheiser HD 650 Headphones'
I can understand why soundstige reacted they way s/he did.

Sennheiser HD650 Sub Bass
It's not a secret. I wasn't going to make the effort to spell it out if there was no interest. I use equalization in addition to a foobar2k add-on (channel mixer). And of course, everyone has different upstream equipment as well as personal tastes, so some tweaking will be necessary.- shake

Sennheiser HD650 Sub Bass
The HD650 is capable of plenty of sub-bass without fancy cables or amps ( an amp is still required tho). PM me for a way to get impressive sub-bass from your HD650s for free.- shake

Problem: DC Jack Ties Case to (-). Solutions?
I'm building some amplifiers as gifts for friends but ran into a problem. The cases I bought have aluminum front and rear panels and I was planning on having both the 3.5mm input jack and the DC jack on one end.

LOL at all the Beats bashers........
A friend of mine who goes to business school at my university tried to buy monster headphones. She bought it online from a scam website and was out $300 and had to cancel her credit card. She eventually bought a pair from Best Buy (hurr). I gave them a listen and was like "is this a...- shake

Quote: Doing this mod voids the warranty, but you could try to sneak a replacement through amazon. There shouldn't be a special break-in period needed. You can try to expose all the holes. It seemed to work fine for someone else here, but for me, leaving 1 hole covered worked...- shake
