Thanks for all your replies. I do like having a punchy bass. The wiring which broke in the HD590s was what went into the speakers, so having a wire to each speaker wouldn't help that...but i'm not really worried about a new pair breaking. Also, I don't have a headphone amp, and I hear that...

Hey team, My Sennheiser HD-590s recently broke, and I'm considering getting a new pair of headphones. If I decide to go with a pair of Sennheisers again, and if the choice were only between the HD-590 and the HD-595, which one should I go with? Is there a big sound difference between the two...

Anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks!

ServinginEquador, that sounds like a good idea, I'll try to implement that.

For school I have to design and build a device that is meant to address a safety issue. My idea is to make a device which measures the sound level coming out of a set of headphones and then alerts the user if the sound is too loud and potentially damaging to a person's ears. This could...

I think I may have damaged my beloved HD-590 headphones, but I'm not certain. I had used them with a guitar amp for the first time (not a great amp either), and now when I play music with them, it seems like the music is a lot softer. Am I just imagining this, or is it possible the amp damaged...

He said he didn't encode them himself...he probably downloaded them.

I had this problem with a couple of mp3s...did you download these mp3s? Or did you make them yourself, and not use a secure method like eac? This drove me crazy, until I realized that a couple of mp3s of mine were encoded poorly, and qcd showed this, unlike winamp did. With headphones, its...

If you buy earbuds, I sure hope the store doesn't resell them if you return them!!!

It seems sorta wasteful to rip at 320 cbr... lame with alt-presets standard is audibly identical to the original, and alt-presets extreme is visually (in a graph of the sound) almost identical to the original, and insane is insane. It might be worth it to try one of these instead. Also, does...
