Apparently I've missed the return window at BestBuy, so I guess I'll try the for-sale forum. I'll be sad to see them go, they are definitely an upgrade on my 598's, but the subbass on the Sundaras won me over.

Wow, I really can't thank you enough for this suggestion!!! I've honestly been too busy enjoying these Sundaras to even respond. I also figured I'd wait till my Topping L30 was here to say anything definitively. The subbass quantity and quality on these are finally close to what modern music...

I'm curious if anyone has been able to compare these to Sundaras?

IMO, they should be offering these to any current owners for free, seeing as the standard pad is so poorly designed. As for me, mine are being returned as soon as I make it to the UPS store. They weren't close to being in the same class as the other cans i tested them against (HD-560S, HD598...

After more research it seems I may have misspoke in regards to Sundara. While there is still a subbass rolloff, it's supposedly not nearly as bad as it used to be, after stealth revisions to the earpads. I have a pair on the way to compare to a HD-560s, and I may end up comparing them to the...

Thanks everyone for all these awesome suggestions!! As I'm trying to upgrade over my HD-598, which I quite like, It's probably going to take a headphone north of the $200 mark to accomplish that. I'm currently listening to the HD-560s and really enjoying them. I think they fit the criteria of...

Yeah from what I've heard, the interfaces that are powered solely by USB aren't great for powering headphones, but interfaces with mains power are a big step up (at least with the Focusrite line).

Yeah, these are better. Super close to the 598, as expected. A bit more treble at a certain frequency, and less so across entire treble range. It's something that sounds like it was needed, IMO. Never what I'd call sibilant or harsh, though. The midrange still sounds a bit more natural on the...

Okay, so I found a remote control that was a bit wider than I wanted the final width to be (in my case 8.25" long). I wedged that in between the band and the cups, and I spent about 20 minutes blasting the headband with a hair dryer on high heat. My 560s are now nearly as "stretched to high...

A visual representation

I guess, but I don't think I'll get nearly the amount of movement out of plastic I'd need to make these tolerable. It's also not a problem I thought I needed to be worried about in the slightest; my Hd-598 are the most comfortable cans I've ever put on my head! Why would they change the mold...

So I was super hyped to come back from my run and find my 560s had arrived a day early! Unfortunately, my excitement didn't even last long enough to plug them in. [rant on] Holy hell, the clamping force! By far the heaviest clamp I've ever experienced. What would drive Sennheiser to make a...
