    Has anybody purchased from Chinese sellers on Ebay?

    I did and I made a very good experience with this seller.   Pretty soon after I had paid the seller by PayPal he shipped the parcel with express mail. On the customs label it was written ‘gift headphone’ and the parcel was wrapped in plenty of adhesive tape. Inside the small cardboard box the...

    I love minidisc - is that weird?

    Hehe, I still have a Sony Walkman and a superb cassette deck to record my music on tape from CDs. This way hifi is a hobby.

    HD 518 teardown - with a shocking twist!

    @streetdragon Yes, same drivers for DT440, 660, 860 and the 32 ohm version of the DT770 and 990. Then the same again for the 250 ohm and 600 ohm DT-models.

    Will an amp make my HD 598 sound better?

    Yes, probably. But don’t expect any miracles. My Macbook Pro for example has a noticable channel imbalance. Mostly at low volume though and not disturbing but still there. The bass intensity is higher when I connect my HD 558 directly to my CD player or hifi amp.

    Sennheiser HD 558 vs PC 360 vs HD 598

    I have recently compared the HD 558 that I own with a HD 598 in a store. I found the HD 598 to have noticably less bass. The HD 558 seems to have a peak arround 170Hz. Slash’s guitar music or Jimmy Hendrix sounds very good with it. For classical I find it not so great.

    Review by 'Catchytune' on item 'Sennheiser HD 558'

    When I first listened to this headphone I was disapointed with how it sounds. Frequencies close to 150Hz are elevated and the trebles are damped. That results in a boomy sound as if I had a piece of thick cloth between my ears and the headphone. I removed the pieces of foam inside of the HD 558...

    Worst headphones you've ever bought

    @indieman   I connect my HD 558 directly to my Macbook Pro or my CD player, which is a Technics SL-PS670D. Punch me but I can’t hear a difference between the two devices.

    Worst headphones you've ever bought

    Only one week ago I bought a Sennheiser HD 558. What an expenisve mistake it turned out to be. For my ears it sounds too lush and mellow.

    Review by 'Catchytune' on item 'Sennheiser HD 201 Headphones'

    I am using the HD 201 for over two years and in terms of sound quality/characteristics I’m quite pleased with it. Just recently I listened to a good recording of Bach’s choral BWV 115 played on a Silbermann organ. My jaw dropped. The HD 201 sounded so well it’s hard to justify an upgrade. Even...
