I spent a long time writing this and some of it got deleted for whatever reason, so I will just let you read the rest. I might just cry if I write again and it goes again. Over the next few days, I committed myself to the Sennheisers. I had spent all this money, so I should see what the had...

It's been a while since I've last posted but since the headphones I've been wanting are now discontinued and somewhat cheaper, I thought I'd get back into my old hobby.   In recent years I've stuck to my KSC75's and my JVC in-ears (air cushions were discontinued so i picked up the bassy 101X...

So, as a lot of you guys may know, sound depends on many factors. When designing a headphone, manufacturers have to consider many variables that affect the sound, far more than simply the type of driver that is used. In fact, the sound of the driver is highly dependent on it's surroundings. A...

I received my new Fidelio L2 headphones a few days ago and just thought I would share my thoughts. I read all the reviews and forum comments I could before ordering and was a little worried they might have been over-hyped, but I have to say that so far I am very, very impressed.   A little...

Can someone help me out with my LD MK3: I have finally received the amp - I have restrengthened the grip of the tubes, put both DIP switches at ON 1 (normal 5 setting, for my 250Ohm DT880) and let the amp warm up for 30mins. The music hasn't changed much and sounds *very* distorted. The...

I hope this is the right subforum for this, here goes! I bought a pair of 575's years ago for dirt cheap and I never used them much. For those who may recall, the 575s were a limited run that they stopped because the drivers cost too much to manufacture. I think they retailed for about 150. They...

Hi all,   I own the Sennheiser HD595 for around 4-5 years now. I recently noticed something wrong with the sound. I can clearly hear stereo, but the left side sounded more full and louder. I checked it with a tone generator, and it became clear all bass was gone from the right side. A 100hz...

Hi, I have used my Hifiman Re-400 for some months, but I am def sure that the right speaker have higher volume  than the left speaker. I find this annyoing and was thinking on sending them into Hifiman for repair/replacement. However, when I think about it, my Sennheiser HD 595 also seems to...

What do you consider to be your best and worst headphone purchases so far? WORST: Sennheiser HD-595 (50 ohm) Also my first "good" headphone purchase (early September of 2005). As a gamer and fan of all kinds of music genres, new to headphones and head-fi, I read the praise these headphones...

Hello all, for the past few months I've been interested in diving into the world of tube amps. For Christmas I'm asking for a LittleDot MKII tube amp. I plan on using it with my 50ohm Sennheiser HD595s. From my research I understand that normally tube amps are used with higher impedance...

Hello guys, i need your recommendations for my next headphone that I'll purchase in the near future. I've owned the HD595 and kns8400 for quite some time. The kns8400 really needs an amp to boost up its volume so that's the reason I don't want to bring it around so much. I'm looking for a...
