I don't buy music unless it's on a disc.

Quote: I never use EQ to be honest. I want to plug in and enjoy. So I haven't even tried.   I'm still in love with the old 565 Ovation and I hope I get closer to that with the HD 600. If that doesn't satisfy, that will be going on sale too and I'll try out some Japanese vendors...

Well, it's only been a few days but I think Mr Stinky and I are going to part ways. I saw the HD 600 on Amazon and I've decided I need to order it.   I think the HD 600 is going to be my true calling. HD 650 is OK sound-wise, but I think I am seeking more (for less). *sniff*   Such...

I've made everyone sick here about this, but yes, I feel it's my duty to CONFIRM THE AWFUL SMELL emanating from our friends at Stinkheiser.   I recently picked up a Sennheiser HD 650 and I feel better now that I have found a family of like-minded individuals put off by the stink. *group...

    :D Wapiti, yep. And what's worse is the Australian dollar has been roughly on par with the USD for a long while now. Satellite_6, yeah I can buy a case. But I shouldn't have to. Right now it lives in a bubblewrap bag on my desk. It's not easy to just throw your headphones in the...

Quote: The place I bought it doesn't have the 600. Plus here in Australia, if I were to buy the headphone here, I would pay about double the price (!!). So I have to buy it overseas and I have to use a USA mail forwarder because Sennheiser USA don't allow their authorised dealers to...

Quote: Oh man, fond of the smell? I can only put that down to someone refusing to acknowledge any faults with their new purchase because they are happy with the actual product or whatever. Sennheiser, if they cared, should be far more controlling of the packaging and their suppliers.  ...
