according to ups tracking mine are out for delivery :)

i'm also in for a pair. thanks for the heads up pichu  

are pads leather?   nevermind.

thanks for the reply jay. i'm currently plugging into denon 1613 receiver. i have ordered a fiio e11, but it hasn't arrived yet.  

i'm going to buy my first headphone amp to use with my t50rp. since i watch a lot of movies and concerts on direct tv i'm wondering if i any amp will help make the quality of the sound better or just make it louder?

best buy in store has logitech ue-6000 for $160.00  

i love the sound of these phones but man they hurt my ears! does anyone know of a more comfortable headphone with a similar sound signature?  

i picked up a pair of ue6000's today, plugged them into my denon 1613 and got nothing. having read that the cable can be hard to insert, i pulled it out and jammed it back in, whereupon i got some static filled noise. i reversed the cable and same thing. after fooling around with the volume...

i'm looking for new headphones. i've had hearing issues and tinitus since i was very young and wear hearing aids to compensate.  i use phones 3 or 4  hours a day at home primarily for movies, and concerts on paladia- mostly rock and pop.  i curently use these phones plugged into a denon 1613...

i have hearing issues so my ranking may reflect that:   1. allesandro ms1- mildly modded currently wearing senn hd414 pads 2. koss tbse 3. sennheiser hd555 4. sennheiser hdr 120 5. jvc ha-rx700

i'm plugging into the headphone jack of a panasonic sa-bx500, connected to hd directtv receiver w/hdmi. i listen to all kinds of mainstream music and i prefer open cans. most often i listen to the ms1's and i'm thinking about upgrading to senn hd555's which are open but i'm also considering...

i watch paladia and sometimes vh-1 every morning and i'm wondering how good my headphones really need to be. i alternate between my ms1i and ha-rx700's running through my home amp. i'm just wondering if a headphone up-grade is warranted by the source?

great post. i'm wondering how senn's hd555 would do in your comparison. i had ad700 and lack of bass and overall loudness led me to trade them for ms1i, which i'm in the process of modding to increase soundstage.

iinm the sony's are closed cans and for sure the grado's are open. unless you're looking to totally butcher the sony's i don't think i'd try it.   you could, if you're handy, make a set of woodies and re-cable your grado's. there are a few threads about this on head-fi.

i removed the distancers and with all 10 holes opened and jumbo pads on the bass is much less distorted, but the highs have a lot of sibilance. i'm debating which way to go next?
