See if you can find a set of Sennheiser HD-555, they have severed me well. Out of all Sennheiser's lineup the HD-555 and HD-595 are the most comfortable. The pads surround the ear and are made with valour material, and they are so comfortable that I often get up from my desk and start to walk...

I have a G5 iMac with a digital line out/ headphone jack that looks like it takes just a 1/8" style plug. I am presently running a 6 foot cable with a 1/8" plug on one end to left and right channel interconnect plugs. My sony pre-amp also has coax. digital line in, and I was wondering if there...

What is the dB isolation of the HD-25 and how does it compare to the noise canceling headphones. I have been trying to convert a couple of Bose “tin can” users to real headphones nirvana and I have let them use my HD-25 and HD555 cans. They like the sound quality but are stuck on the isolation...

Can someone explain what balanced means and what are the pros and cons are to having a balance setup, or directed me to a web site on the matter. I own a set of HD-25, HD-555, and HD-580 all pushed by a bithead amp. My next upgrade will be to get a AC powered home amp and a set of HD-595s. I am...

I am looking for a solution for at least three people to listen to the same source at the same time. Some sort of amp with three or more outputs each with their own volume to account for headphones with different ohm ratings. I could also use such a device to compare different headphones. Is...

I like the idea of flipping the drivers and plugging directly in. I wonder if the Cardas 4 ft cable upgrade would be a bit much for the HD-25? The 650 replacement cable is about $35 and the Cardas is $150 and I am willing to lay out the money if the cardas can squeeze out more range and clarity.

I have heard it is not good to run electronics after a long exposure to cold, due to the quick temp jump when the wires and circuits heat up. I live up here in Alaska and to get from class to class I have to walk outside. So I just wait several minutes once inside before running my headphones. I...

I was wondering what cable upgrade options are there for the Sennheiser HD-25? How is the left channel run to the other side, is it inside the plastic headband? Can a thicker cable be used, such as the HD-650 stock cable or are the plugs not compatible? Also, where can I get the velour pads for...
