Hi Guys,
this is my second review on a new earphone, just in time that my friend is looking for a good earphone, I was recommend him to look for this Final Audio Design brand.
He...
Matrix Quattro Dac and Amp Impressions
If you just want to hear what I thought about the Matrix combo, jump down about five or six paragraphs! This first part may be a bit extraneous for...
All I have to say is that their awesome pair of headphones. Great sound stage, vocals are a bit too strong, you can feel the bass other than hearing it, and great for movies. Comfort is 4.5...
I know people bash on Bose because of they're over priced and I agree. I believe these retail for about $150 or so and I paid $85 for these due to employee discount at where I work. With that...
I bought these headphones as an upgrade from my BD DT-770 Pro 80Ohm.
The are better in all areas, except that the right can can't handle bass. As soon as there are low bass it just becomes a...
some suggest putting them over a stack of books for a few days when not in use until the headband loosens up, but prolonged practice isn't recommended as it may flatten your earpads
otherwise they will slowly stretch out to fit your head as you use wear them
Okay don't blame me if you try this or I have no idea what I'm talking about and it doesn't apply. I don't own Sennheisers.
Anyway someone who wanted to reshape the KSC-55s dipped the plastic headband in hot water and then did the stack of book things for an hour or two and then wore them for a bit and apparently that really helped strectch them out. I know that's just a simple plastic loop etc, but still should do something if it is plastic.
So if they're plastic, which as I said, not sure don't own them and going by the pics they look plastic to me but you mention metal.
Also disclaimer, don't dip the drivers in the water, may alter the strength of the plastic etc. etc.
I think they will wear in just given time!
I had HD580 for nearly 8 years and when I got my HD650 at Christmas they seemed very tight compared to old. Already after a few weeks they have softened up!
my dad loosened mine up when he was "borrowing" them. Not sure what he did but they are now a perfect fit. They hd650's should be very tough as the housing is titanium.
Straddle the 650 over a stack of books and leave it on overnight, it should loosen up in the morning. If you're worried about the earpads flattening then you should take out the earpads (just tug at them, they'll come out) before you start the loosening process.
Whatever you do, don't bend them with your hands, they're not designed to handle that kind of loading, I've heard reports of broken headbands from people who attempted the hand method.
I noticed the same thing. Don't worry.. after a while your skull will reshape itself and you will have permanent oval donut shaped trenches in the sides of your head.
