I have a set of these that I bought many years ago, before they made whatever change they made. They're basically still new and I am finally at a place where I can use them regularly. I was researching them to replace the cable, and I noticed everyone saying the old ones aren't as good as the...

I would really love to get a cable for late night sessions that will run from my stereo to my couch with ease. 20' would do it. Are there any QUALITY cables on the market that won't subtract from the awesomeness of these headphones? I am not interested in making my own.

I have a pair of AKG K601's and I've read here that they are hard to drive. I have two restored vintage receivers (Marantz 2250B and Pioneer SX-850) and a modern NAD C 740 receiver. The headphones sound incredible on all three receivers, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something. Would it be...

These are probably the two coolest looking headphones on the market, IMO. I've read so much about the ES7 and am thinking of buying a pair, but I'd like to know more about the SQ5 since they're a little cheaper, and a little sweeter looking. Has anyone heard both pairs? Also interested in a...

Do you guys know anything about these headphones? I picked up a pair with a bad cable. Ordered a 650 cable from Sennheiser's website, so I should be listening to them soon. They're pretty ugly, and the adjustable band is poorly designed. I don't expect them to be wonderful, but they looked...

I think my obsession is dying. Right now I have it narrowed down to Sennheiser HD 580's paired with a JMT Pimeta amp. This modest combo sounds great to me, but I've even gotten rid of my portable stuff. I kind of want just ONE pair of headphones. Something that sounds really great when I'm...

In great condition. Using it with some 580's right now and it sounds great. $100 or best offer.

I just bought my first iPod off of eBay a couple days ago. I have a lot of questions. I don't even know how to put songs on it. I want it to sound really good, obviously, but I also want to take advantage of its small size. What's the happy medium? Sounds great, but also not too large. I...

Send me a PM if you have any better sounding, better built cables to replace my 580 cable. nick

I guess you'd call it the grill??? The white cloth that goes over the plastic grill thing that protects the driver is starting to come off. It has just begun, but I worry. Is there a simple way to fix it? If it gets worse could I send them back to Grado? Should I just shut up and buy SR225's...

I need some kind of power supply for it and a small (3-6") cord with the 1/8" male headphone jack on both ends. Also, just curious, what headphones go well with the V5? What are the most expensive headphones that the Go-Vibe can FULLY power beautifully? I've read Grado SR225, but what about...

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=116839 That's the exact headphone amp I'm buying from OrionKC, who bought from that ad. All the talk about the components in it and whatnot are jibberish to me. I do know that it made my AKG's sound much nicer. Is this a high quality headphone...

I made a thread just like this with the HD 580 and the 225 won. Now I'm wondering how the 595 sounds unamped. Which of these two headphones would you choose unamped? I know the 225 sounds great without an amp, but how does the 580 sound? I want to upgrade my PX 100 in my portable rig. Size...

Which of these two headphones would you choose unamped? I know the 225 sounds great without an amp, but how does the 580 sound? I want to upgrade my PX 100 in my portable rig. Size doesn't matter to me for portability. Just need to preform well without an amp. I'm open to suggestions too.

I was reading up on the "How to make the PX 100's high-end cans." thread again tonight. Some of the stuff I read made me check out all the other pads on my headphones. The KSC75's have pads that are softer, more dense material, and thicker. This results in the drivers being SLIGHTLY further from...

ilikemonkeys let me borrow his IEM's. I'm really enjoying them. Are there any cheaper headphones that sound anywhere as good as ER-4's? What about those cheap Koss IEM's that come in different colors? JVC Marshmallows? I'm only wanting these things for portability. I probably wouldn't use them...

I really like the sound of the AKG K271 Studios. I'd like to get some open phones that will be a step up in sound. I like the "lean bass" of these AKG's, lol. I wouldn't mind something that extends a little bit lower, but not louder. I like how these are very smooth in the high end. The phones...

This thread is actually for a friend. He asked me what I thought, and seeing how I have no experience with the 580's, I couldn't help him out. Right now HD-580's are available NEW through various eBay sellers with the warranty and K601's are everywhere. Both are close to his budget ($200, give...

What kind of pads do these cans come with? Also, where can you buy comfies, bowls, and flats? If I bought a pair, I'd like to try all the pads. Thanks in advance.

As many of you know, Easy Tiger officially came out today. I don't usually impatiently wait for a new album to come out, but I had a feeling this one would be good. And it is. VERY good. It's like Love Is Hell, but not as dark. Maybe a mix of Love Is Hell and some of the songs on Gold with the...

Since I'm deciding to keep these, I really want to power them well. I've already searched the forums and learned that the Gilmore Lite is a great amp for these headphones. BTW, where can I buy this amp? I can't find it on eBay. Anyway, I've got a small budget. No more than 150 dollars. I'd...

Can someone that has heard both please explain the differences? I'm about to make a trade. High points and low points of both, please. They seem to go for the same price used. I have a pair of AKG's now with the Zu upgrade, but am really wanting to sell them off. Not a huge fan. I actually have...

They look cool. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=012 Looks like original packaging too.

My friend has a pair with a bad cord. I might be getting them for next to nothing. Everything I read about the 701's say they aren't very forgiving in wrong amp pairings. What are some of the most inexpensive, smaller amps that pair nicely. Or whatever! Any freaking amp that sounds good. They...

These look interesting. I'm looking for some cool vintage cans. Do you think these will sound good? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...link:middle:us
