I am given to understand that Mr Halpern isn't adverse to that cunning plan

2.49 actually..... I do quality control and I hate being innaccurate :) but yes there is the sound of a human being suddenly becoming unmasked by the music it is hiding behind and it happens in the left hand ear at 2 minutes 49 seconds and I found that seemed to be my doorway into hearing it all...

Okay well the first surprise is that I remembered my login name and that was followed by also recalling my password as well that amazingly enough I still exist as a person on Headfi……… wonders will never cease and I think I ought to say hello Headfi community. It is a fair few years since I...

Yes you can do exactly that with any headphone - I can use them with a pair of Superlux's HD668B's and just let it dangle off the short 3.5 headphone jack Superlux fitted or use my Sennheiser HD650's with the DIY portable lead that I made - any headphone or earphone with a 3.5mm jack instantly...

    The Sony Ericson MW600 does have some ear buds supplied with it, but like rhapsodyfan suggested I just bought it for the bluetooth reciever and used that with the headphones I already own - so for just £29 I turned my Sennheiser HD650's into the most kick ass bluetooth headphones I could...

Thanks to rhapsodyfan I now own one of Sony Ericsson's MW600's and now the best bluetooth headphones money can buy happen to say HD650 on the side.

rhapsodyfan Pm'ed me suggesting I give the Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth Headphones a try out   in the UK try http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0038M3H4S/ref=ox_ya_os_product   in the USA you want...

Okay thanks for the reply - looks like I should look at other wireless headphones then.

Until now I had been quite happy using my Etymotic HF5's at work, but this past week I began a new job programming and at the same time I am being upgraded from a iPhone 3GS to 4S and I found that I would really like to be able to put my portable music source down on my desk and have the freedom...

Quote: OMG its contagious - going by my own experience imackler, including the sense of loss and just not liking whatever I hear from other earphones... well I am saving my pennys and eyeing other stuff I own thinking 'you know if I sold that then I could bid on ebay for any decent set...

For me its my Etymotic ER.4's - in a fit of stupidity I sold them on eBay, together with some other headphones and earphones, the proceeds from which went to buy a new 64gb iPod Touch plus a new PC screen and since then I've played around with all sorts of word of mouth recomended earphones here...

  Quote:   Unfortunatly forum rules do not allow me to use the correct language in this situation, but if your familiar with the HBO program by Penn and Teller then you know the word I am saying so LOUD that if you continue to take no notice of what wiser minds are telling you then you...

I maybe cannot provide any input on the failing after months of use, but I did receive a pair of these this past week with a faulty driver out of the sealed box which to say the least has left me seriously reconsidering whether or not I should consider owning these any further. By Sunday this...

Quote: Yes that is true - anyway I've emailed this sucker 3 times in 3 days and got no reply so it is now in eBay/Paypals hands and I want a refund - unbelievable but when I opened the package they had used 2 supermarket shopping bags as padding - when I sell 2nd hand earphones and...

I hate to say it but in your last post you told me why your not hearing bass, because I am quite certain if you read enough threads here on Headfi you will soon pick up that you have to get a very good seal and you must experiment with - not just all of the tips that your headphones arrive with...

Anybody discovered that they open a sealed package for these only to find that one of the channels does not work. I won a brand new set of these in a ebay auction and then, after well over a fortnight waiting for delivery during which the seller didn't reply to a single one of my emails asking...

Quote: Thanks for pointing earphonesolutions, only I forgot about them. Unfortunatly the cost, if you use their recommended shipping option is within a few pennies of Amazon - however if you can take the risk on just normal mail it cuts the cost to just £25.02 and thats still a lot of...

Anybody managed to find these in the UK. I've been reading good things about them and fancied trying some to see how they go, but Amazon.co.uk hasn't got them and even though Amazon.com has got them apparently they contain technology that could bring the USA to its knees... so to compensate you...

Sennheiser would have layed down a stock of old parts just for this kind of situation and they will have a driver to replace the one on your HD650's which failed. It's something most serious audio companies do and I know Sennheiser do so as a matter of course, so don't panic - they can and will...

You can give them just about anything imho. Currently I'm listening to 'Anesthetize' from Porcupine Tree's latest live album, but half a hour ago it was Alice Sara Ott playing Liszt's 12 Etudes d'execution... if it is good music then you'll hear it and if it's great musicianship then you'll hear...

Quote: I live in the UK and I tried to be really nice to all of the people who I know on this forum who happen to live in the USA by doing the mental calculation exactly what price they would cost in the USA, so - if you ordered them from the cheapest.... not the most expensive.... the...

Quote: Watch this space so far as the 'make your own' equation goes, because I can cut and sew and glue and fabricate and weld if necessary.... and if someone's absolutely ticked me off then I take great pleasure in going one better than them.... make a note Sennheiser, if you read this...

Quote: Good question. I would have to search out the paperwork, but if memory serves me correct I bought them as new back in 2005, so this self destruct of the left hand pad is through normal day to day wear and tear after about 5 years. You could look at that in terms of oh well it only...

  Why are the replacement earpads for Sennheiser HD650's so expensive. I could understand if the pad was unique,  either in materials or design. I could also understand the cost of a pair if the HD650 was a headphone that Sennheiser needed to recoup the development costs for, however this...

Thanks cowjuan for the speedie reply - I'll do some experimenting and I found a interesting page since I first posted   http://www.overclock.net/sound-cards-computer-audio/314612-guide-pad-choices-grado-headphones-update.html   I wonder if 414 pads will take red and blue dye's.
