Thanks for the replies, some good points made At least there seems to be some differing opinions and not a unanimous, 'HELL NO we don't'. But yes, I'll definitely keep my IE8's away from the rain but will still take them out at least in dry weather

Hi Ok this is probably a dumb thing to wonder about but hear me out.. Up until recently my most expensive in-ears were Sony's £40 jobbies, which for the longest time thought were 'high end'....... Has the laughing stopped? Ok so I used to wear them in rain or shine... And I do mean RAIN...

Thanks for the 'tip' (hehheh) That's the first time I've seen microphonic and the Denon's in the same sentence.. Is it very noticeable? I'm very aware that choosing the right IEM's is a personal one and everyone is different but as you know it's not easy to try before you buy... I'm...

Hi I'm currently looking for an earphone upgrade and have narrowed it down to the Denon AH-C751's or the Q-Jays. The reviews I've read say that the Denon's have the best bass, BUT are prone to losing the best 'fit' in the ear... The Jay's fit better but are lacking slightly in the Bass...

Hi Just wanted to say thanks for everyones input and to tell you the outcome.. I purchased the Beyer DT990 Pro's as suggested by Hi-Finthen. I set it all up how I wanted and plugged those cans into the Heed CanAmp.. The cans definitely deliver on Bass with the Heed CanAmp It's a little...

Hi Thanks for the info Before the Heed came I was plugging my cans straight into my home integrated amp that my 5.1 setup runs from (woofer yes).. The reason I was expecting more bass from the Heed Amp was because this integrated amp was giving it out nicely..The downside to that, there...

Hi Thanks for the input. Could you elaborate on what is meant by 'heavy feeling' of the 650's? I forgot to add the DT880's.. I'm looking at those too. I heard that they are good for DVD's - 'Warm sounding' apparently...But I'm not an audiophile so don't fully understand what is meant by...

Hi Thanks for the reply.. When you say overkill, do you mean the price or the performance I will get from the TV? (The amp can drive them no problem). If I told you that the majority of my TV/DVD watching will be done at night, so headphones are a must.. Is it still overkill? Thanks...

Hi So my Heed CanAmp came through today I set it all up to my home cinema.. The Amp and 595's are to be solely used for TV and DVD's... First impressions are that the sound quality is great but the bass is lacking..A lot. The thing is, while waiting for the amp to arrive, I was using the...

Hi Short question : Can headphones get damaged if loud music is pumped through them ... a lot? Longer explanation: I have a pair of 595's that I'm using on my PC. I did have them going into my speakers (which would automatically mute the speakers). With this setup the 595's suffered...

Thanks for the info One thing I may have overlooked is that my sources connect to my main amp via optical. Do Tape Outs generally convert digital signal or not? I'm not currently in a position to test it but if it doesn't I will see about having a decent switch box made. Thanks again Jon

Oh lovely, that's 'music' to my ears It's actually an integrated amp I think, but I doubt that matters.. I'm very much a newbie and don't fully get what is what (pre amp, power amp, integrated amp etc). Thanks lots

Hi After (finally) deciding on my headphone Amp I now need to connect multiple devices to it. I can either use one set of RCA cables going from the tape out on my power amp to the headphone amp or I could buy 3 sets of RCA cables going from each device into a switch box then an RCA cable...

Hi I really need help getting the right amp..The end of the search is still no where in site... I finally got my cans a couple of weeks ago (HD595's)..They are great but my home speaker amp isn't up to the job (hissing).. So far I've looked at the Original master, Headroom Micro Amp...

Hi I'm currently looking for an amp to go with my 595's... After going from the Original Master to the Corda Prehead, I've spotted this Heed CanAmp.. My question is, will this amp be suitable for TV, DVD and gaming? I don't listen to music on a high end CD player but I use it a lot for TV...

Thanks guys that's helped a lot I was expecting some of you to say that the prehead would be going over board for TV etc.. But I figure since 90% of my viewing will be done with cans (and I watch a lot) then skimping on the Amp wouldn't be a good idea. Thanks again Jon

Hi I have recently bought a pair of Sennheiser 595's. These cans are purely for TV, DVD's and games. I've been looking for an amp and have found the CORDA PREHEAD MkII at nearly half it's retail price (still a few hundred though). This amp is probably overkill for my needs but I'd like...

Hi Havent been online for a while because of broken shoulder.. But thanks for the info. I've since used the 595's on other sources (got some creative I-trigue speakers with a headphone jack).. There is no hiss what so ever so I think it's safe to say my AV receiver just isn't up to the job...

Thanks for the info guys but I think you are assuming I'm listening to one source maybe? By source, do you mean the device playing the sound? Because I have 3 devices hooked up to a full AV Receiver via optical.. My 595's are just plugged into the Av via headphone jack.. All 3 sources have...

Hi I finally made my headphone choice... The HD595's are awesome, BUT.. There is rather noticeable background hissing.. I have it connected up to my speaker amp which is quite old.. If I buy an amp like the Original Master... Will this get rid of said hissing? It is most likely my AV...

Hi Just wondering if there has been a comparison done on these two amps? Both are similar in price and shipping for me.. Has anyone had experience with these two? Headphones are undecided yet.. Most likely HD595's.. Also considering HD650's or DT990,, Their use is purely for movies and...

Thanks that's good to hear.. Although I won't be using it on a computer so it will just be stereo for now.. Looking into buying a Surround sound converter like the JVC SU-DH1 Surround Headphone Adapter.. If anyone knows of a similarly priced better alternative, I'd like to hear it. Thanks...

I'm very close to buying the 595's over the 650 for pure movie watching.. Can I ask if the 595's will deliver on bass (action movies/gun shots etc) WITHOUT an amp? Thanks Jon
