Hi, I had my pair of Shure SRH840's in its leather case in my backpack for a while (carried it around the city) a few days ago, and when I took them back out, they sounded really quiet for some reason. I tried on another pair of headphones, and they sounded like normal, but the 840's are just suddenly really much more quiet than before. Even when I turn my amp up all the way, it's still nothing like it was before. Has anyone else had this problem, either with 840's or maybe other cans? Thanks!

First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...

A very all-round headphone for me. Just the right one to take on the go or on holiday. Also as a DJ, nice noice isolation. Very durable so you don't have to wonder if it will break if you throw...

Have you checked the connection of the cable?

Yeah, i've check them many times :(
I'm thinking that it's my amp's problem. I have a Fiio e10. I used to turn it up to abot 2.5 and it would be really loud already. Now I have to turn it to around 6 to get even a comparable sound level.
