    Senn HD 595/280 Pro

    Well I got them today, but am leaving tomorrow for my first flight.. so not too much time to burn them in. I have left them on quite a high volume, on top of a cardboard box, each ear area pointing in to each other.. with a CD on loop. I will probably try and give them 15-20 hours burning in -...

    Thanks all. 280 Pros ordered today, first class delivery, and I'll burn them in for as long as I can before I leave. Cheers.

    Senn HD 595/280 Pro

    Thanks guys. I think I'll get on and order the 280 Pros (if anyone could answer the question about how much burn in, and how to do it, that would be great), because of the amount of flying I have to do (amounts to about 60 hours either in the air or at airports over the next month), and if I...

    Senn HD 595/280 Pro

    Hey folks I am off to New Zealand (from Britain) in a weeks time, and have inadvertently broken my old Senn 212 Pro's.. maybe it was for the best. Anyway, I need some headphones for the very long flight - and for driving around (I am a passenger) while I am there. However, I'll also want to...

    Will it be able to drive HD555/580/595?

    Will it be able to drive HD555/580/595?

    Ok. I kinda presumed the 580 was the step down from the 595.. Any idea on whether I can drive them well?

    Will it be able to drive HD555/580/595?

    Hey. Considering an open set of headphones for use in the home, with my iMac, and sometimes with my iPod nano around the house. Will these two devices be powerful enough to drive one of the headphones listed above (not made my mind up which yet)? Senn HD555, HD580, or HD595. Also, with the...

    $100-$200 Headphones..

    I think I'd prefer just one, on a higher par. Thanks for the input though.

    $100-$200 Headphones..

    Would the Sen HD 25-1's suit me? From the reviews I have been reading it seems a definite possibility..

    $100-$200 Headphones..

    Hey there. I'm looking for some headphones in the range of $100-$200 USD (call that £100). They need to be shipable to the UK. Any suggestions, I really am open to most things.. A couple of points though: I want to be able to run them from my iPod and iBook without amp, if that is possible...
