Nice build quality - looks impressive. Also looks like a mailbox, haha.

I definitely agree with the TC. I've only gotten to listened to the HD800's once for about 15 minutes, but the materials definitely were surprising to me. I'm sure there's some reason Sennheiser did what they did, but I expected much more of a "wow" when I first saw their new flagship...

Alright - Thanks a lot for the reply I'll get another tube for them to try out and see if that fixes it.. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I've been noticing lately that when I have my AD700's plugged into my amp, using the 1/4" adapter that came with the headphones, I will sometimes lose the right channel completely, and have to spin the plug in the jack / tug on it a little bit to get the sound to come back...

I'm stopping somewhere between 18khz and 19khz.. Not too bad, and I'm 20 years old and don't go to concerts often at all.. I -do- have a 16 year old sister who sometimes gets a little mouthy. I blame her. =)

Yeah I'm seriously considering getting both of them, haha. They both do different things so well. I listened to the HD800s tonight for a while and love them. A little out of the price range though, unfortunately. I also listened to Ultrasone Edition 8's and really enjoy them, they're the most...

Yeah - I would rather not have to upgrade the amp / dac right now, for budget-related issues.. I know the 701s and 650s are very different from one another, and kind of on different ends of the spectrums, haha. I've listened to both of them non-extensively, though I've listened for around 10...

Hey all - Haven't posted in a while, been busy and content with my setup as it is currently, but after a trip to a relative's house today, who happens to have tons of headphones and amps and DACs and everything, and after listening to his system, I felt like I wanted a little upgrade in the...

Curiously, would this chain of DAC/Amp provide enough power to pump the AKG-k701's: Styleaudio Emerald DAC --> Starving Student Mini Millet Tube Amp --> k701's? I'm currently using AD700's and really want to get some k701's

I had a similar problem when I got mine, And I actually wear them lower now than I used to, try pulling them down a bit so the top of your ears just barely touch the top of the pad My Sennheiser HD-280's give me some serious aggrivation when I wear them for too long.. They're really tight on...

Yeah.. One of my relatives is an audiophile who does a lot of work on equipment and said they'd be really a pain to recable.. =( Don't feel like spending $85 for a new pair. I need to be more careful with this stuff Thanks a lot

Hey everyone - Haven't posted in ages, been pretty content with the lower-budget system I have working, picked up a StyleAudio Emerald DAC from Whiplash Audio and love it. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD-280's and they have recently broken! They were in a bag in the back of my car and kind...

Oh, and you said you liked Jazz, and Scofield is Jazz, so there you go. Other good Jazz (and Jazz-inspired / Funk / Jazz-like) bands: Garage A Trois Charlie Hunter Trio Charlie Hunter Quartet Dixie Dregs (AKA The Dregs) Bela Fleck and the Flecktones Stanton Moore

John Scofield's Albums: Still Warm, What We Do, Solar, Uberjam, Electric Outlet It's amazing stuff. There's a billion more songs and artists that I'm into, but this is what's currently flowing through my headphones, so that's what I'm listing.

AD700's: ==(---)== K701's: (-------) ..That's my picture.. The ='s are like, a horizontal extension of the sound stage that isn't as deep, kind of lemon shaped really. So for the sound stage, picture a Lemon vs. an Orange
