Quote: Originally posted by jms007bnd007 Yeah, they would be great for travel if they weren't so dorky looking. You should only wear them around friends, if you go out. Tons of isolation though. I think you might get away with it on a train or something, but.... bleh give it...

Quote: Originally posted by Fuse How long have you burned them in for? I've been looking into a pair of these for use with my Ipod and META. Is the isolation really there? Just asking. TIA about 72+ hours full on burn in and then regular use if you're thinking of getting them...

Burn in confirmed. Much better now. That is all. And for those who say the bass on the hd280s in weak, your ears are probably damaged from listening to music too loud/too much bass , so you buy the megabass phones to compensate. The bass on the hd280s is really very good.

something weird though. the left side speaker seems weaker than the right side considerably, i've checked to make sure i plugged it in well but it still seems to be less powerful. It's weird. anyone else know of any issues like this? Tried in two sources now, same thing. So it's not just a...

Aye sir!

They sound pretty good actually. The bass seems alright, a little weak and lost, with a little eq, its perfectly fine for my tastes and i assume will only get better with time. Classical music seems to be alright too, jazz was fine. Nothing truley outstanding about them, but it's what i was...

Mike, i've been wondering. I have tons of free time, but you seem to have the ability to post here at all hours. What knid of job do you have?

Quote: Originally posted by JaZZ It's a well known fact that electrostats need break-in for best sound. Their whole diaphragm represents a suspension, thus its affected by mechanical stress in the form of loosening its tension with time. Break-in has nothing to do with a voice-coil, BTW...

Quote: Originally posted by Stephonovich Well, I contacted Sony. The website was a Sony Style one, though. [Shudder] And SageOHaze, I recommend you listen to a CD or two when you get them. Then, pop the in a drawer with music playing for about 48-72 hours. Change the music style every...

the package is just the hd280s, they should be here in a few hours.

By the way, eye for an eye here on grammar/spelling/typos mikey. It's Sennheiser not Seenheiser.

btw mike, is that you in the picture?
