Nah I always check the volume is at 0 before turning on the Magni, though I have once or twice turned the dial to max on silent just to check there is no static noise.   Funny, I have used 2 separate pairs of HD 650s and I am constantly paranoid the right-side can is clearer though I have...

Quick confirmation: because of the 10-second startup delay that means I can just leave my headphones plugged into the magni 2 without risk, correct?

  I'll try this this out when I get home, thanks!   There was no distortion, my only potential concern was whether that sort of damage would result in muted sound on one side but if my only risk was actual distortion then I think I'm fine. Granted, since my amp has a 300Ohm max output of...

I just got my first amp/dac (Schiit Stack 2 Uber) and a brand new HD650 and I am very happy with it so far, such a massive improvement over on-board sound (can't go back to a headset after this)! After trying a few phones at a local store I always come back to Sennheiser because of the comfort...

Hi all,   I tried a Beyer dt 770 250 ohm for a few days after getting my magni 2/modi 2 but I'm not a fan of the punchy bass drowning out the vocals. I've always loved the balance of Sennheisers (had HD598 and a PC363d headset) so I'm thinking of getting an HD 650 as I've been hearing good...

Ah yes, i meant an Amp Dac. Would the Fiio e10k qualify as such? Also, is that the best option for the price range to drive a 250Ohm set? I'veheard there are better ones like the Schiit/Modi stack but that would be pushing my budget as I'm hoping to keep my costs around $400 (CAD) with a modmic...

As the title says my Sennheiser headset broke and I'm a little fed-up with their quality (had issues over the years) so I'm thinking of jumping on Amazon and getting a decent headphones + amp + microphone for my PC. I'll be playing games and listening to all types of music. So far I'm thinking...

I recently got my hands on a pair (though I probably won't keep them, going with the PC360 simply due to gaming/microphone use), and I must say I love the comfort and sound quality based on several hours of use. HOWEVER, I am concerned with the build quality of them. The left side adjustment...

Quote: Yup. Probably in the future when I have some extra cash lying around I'll invest in a decent headphone amp to really make them sound fantastic.   Hmm, curious, would the 598 pads fit the PC360? They are very very comfortable, I'll have to try fitting them on =P

I've made my choice, I'm sticking with the PC360s. After all is said and done, they offer great sound and the utility of a mic on hand, which together trump the appeal of the HD598s in my opinion.

I was contemplating originally buying from Razerdog via Ebay, seeing as they are an authorized dealer. However, I wanted the safety net of being able to return my headphones without hassle if I deemed that they weren't for me. Also, living in Canada, I would have to deal with extra shipping and...

Alright, so I tried both the PC360 and HD598 side by side, and I'll try to briefly describe it (I'm not an audiophile nor am I very technical with describing sound so here goes =P). NOTE: I am testing these using the onboard sound of my ASUS Sabertooth P67 motherboard, so no amp or other...

Can anyone comment on sound quality with the Senn PC360 headset? Both this and the HD 598s are available at my local store for the same price and I'm curious how they compare. The reason I want to know is because if the sound quality is comparable I'd rather get the headset than have to mess...

Since both headphones are in a similar price range for me, I'm having trouble deciding between these two. I need something that is comfortable to wear for extended periods at a time, and that can balance well between gaming and listening to music (I especially love trance/techno/electronic...
