Ok, for anyone who forgot that I bought a Senn 580 just last month and blame them for not sounding good...please refer here:

The reason I feel this is necessary is because I want you guys to know that I don't just praise anything I buy..and I think the above link shows that...or maybe too much of that
Now I will post my honest review after 1 month of listening.
Still, I don't have an amp for it (a Meta 42 is on its way though) and still I am listening straight out of my SoundBlaster Live!....so please bear that in mind...
I think the headphone sounds quite good now, especially with classical music. The sound is in good coherence, no coloration and refined. I never have the experience like some other people do when they put on a new set of headphone and start noticing things they've never heard before. That just doesn't happen to me and I don't think it will happen in the future. Everything I've heard in 580, I've heard it before from loudspeakers. I really don't put too much credit on people who claim to hear new things on a CD they've heard 1000 times before. The statements that some people make just sound exaggerating and I wouldn't go there. (That's why I call this an honest review). Mind you, 580 still doesn't sound good with rock music. I think the veil in these phones really do rock music injustice. I don't think the bass is that much of problem anymore but I certainly think it can be improved (hopefully that will happen when my Meta 42 arrive). I can understand people's frustration with 580 when they mostly listen to rock music. I just don't think 580 is made for rock music. I know this is baseless but it's so true once u try it.
Mind you, this review doesn't differ much from my previous impression. I don't know why I am posting this, maybe I just have too much time on my hand. I shall post another review once my Meta 42 arrive. And if it doesn't impress me I will say it like it is. U guys, however, will be held accountable for making my wallet thin
