It sucks that there are no responses!!!

Quote: I think an audiophile would bare bad music if sonically its interesting. Music drives the soul not the ears. Take the general public, I think they  would accept anything as long as they can hear the song. An audiophile could care less what song it is, but more so how its received. 

Okay so I'm heading home from class when I realize that I listen to my music differently in my car then I do at home. In the car I like bass, I'm talking beats by dre bass, but at home I want detail. I put on my Sennheisers with no equalizer, no added bass. I think that's weird because I think...

Absolutely not they have a deeper appreciation for sound not music. 

Well lucky for me I have a large head. They sound more precise than the 280 to me. The bass is right on the money as well.

Quote: Any HD380 love?

Why?

Quote: I actually have both but I didn't try to pull the HD380 off in the event that it doesn't go back on . I've never heard of anyone modifying these cans. Replace? they have different sounds and purposes.    Edit - Oh you just said that. 

Are the HD380 ear cups replaceable? I would rather have velour pads that are on the HD558? Is it the same technology?

Torrent. I'm leaving it alone though. Wait is there a place to purchase flac files?

I actually enjoyed the mids. I didn't like the veil of unnecessary bass. It had average highs and no sound stage.

Noted

How can you punish the end user and not the up loader? I can't download it if it does not exist. Again if I can't find the music in the STORE. I will download it. When is the last time someone went to jail for downloading music.

Legally lol. Its only illegal if you profit from it. If I can't find it downloading is the next best thing.

ATH-M50 . Seriously a very overrated headphone, very average to me. 

I just downloaded a few albums that are supposed to encoded in Flac. Here's the thing how do I know someone didn't take an MP3 and convert it to Flac which means I downloaded a huge MP3 file for nothing. Is it wise to download in Flac? Most of my CD's I've already re-ripped. Is there a way you...

Quote: I understand that completely. I think Streetdragon was right. Even though I've never heard the HD598 I think these would sound very similar. Based on what we both have said and things I've heard about those. 

Lighter not less if that even makes sense. To me the music sounds a lot better. You can always EQ your low end.

No once you get going. I opened them up and poked holes into the grill until I could get a grip and start pulling. I pulled around the cup and it came off nice and easy. The sound is incredible it really opens them up. I probably lost a few db's in the sub bass but I have other headphones for...

There you go!

Apparently I don't have permissions just yet. If someone could tell me how to get permissions I have a picture ready. 

Quote: That thing looks sweet...my gosh  A bit out of my price range though.    I removed the lining this evening and I must say it seems to made sound crispy. It maybe a placebo effect but the highs seems stronger, not fatiguing. 

I read somewhere on here that you could remove the lining on these headphones to open them up even more. I've already did the mod, so I'm wondering if its possible to open these up even more? Without the extremeness of the above post.  I still have yet to find a suitable amp, or better yet is it...

Don't amps or Dac's change the sound signature of the headphone?
