If anyone reads this after I would say that after about 50 hours the sound changed for the better, and this is 50 hours of it playing on the side so it is not a issue of me getting used to it.   I think that the sound opened up a lot and that these headphones seem much better now, the most...

Yeah, I have the 438's too.   What do you mean about the cable, I was confused about it too

Hi, I was wondering if anyone on this site knew about any music which was recorded in binaural sound   ie. Virtual barbershop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IXm6SuUigI&feature=related   ...besides pearl jam

Thanks for the help btw

Alright, so I guess the best sounding option would be to redownload everything in best quality (cannot afford to buy cd), but (accounting in average download quality) how much of a difference would it make.   Hard to quantify so mayb easier by saying (if its that much of a difference) by...

Will I need to get an amp to get the full sound out of these cans?   I have a fiio e3 but will that be good enough or should I get and e5 or l2?   I listen to opera and rap primarily, what should I do to the music files in order to optimize them for this?   I know the 438 is better...

Yup, got sennheiser hd438's from the money

Actually I have bought multiple SENNHEISER headphones off ebay and they do come with the warranty, you simply go to their website and register your product. If you want something real then it is not that hard to find.    I hate when people bad mouth ebay when they have no information about...

Any info on any portable phones (<200) would be good
