Xin order status???
Cool, glad to hear that he'll fulfill some orders soon. I hadn't heard anything about my December SuperMacro. I personally think he's a great guy and I've had the pleasure of sharing an e-mail or two with him. However, I haven't e-mailed him since 2002...- JGene

SuperMini Amp-a?
Indeed it is very small, however be careful what you plug it into because I am the one responsible for the 12/01 update on Xin's website: Quote: [12/01/01] Unlike an analogue volume control, a digital one cannot take more than its power supply voltage, i.e. 4.5V (-2.25 to +2.25) in this...- JGene

Just got my Sen 280Pro, what do I need to adjust
As stated above, burning them in takes about 100 hours. I hooked mine into my TV tuner on my computer and turned it to CNN. Somebody is always talking about something on that channel, so it'll keep the headphones constantly running. Be careful with the Sennheiser HD280s because mine broke the...- JGene

Help--Sennheiser HD-280 torn cable!
I'm going to try to send it back and get a replacement unit. I've had my headphones for less than 30 days, so I should be able to use their return policy. Just comes at a bad time to break my headphones--I'm home with my folks for Thanksgiving vacation and I was planning on doing some music...- JGene

Help--Sennheiser HD-280 torn cable!
Here's another picture of where the break is in. Anybody have any ideas? I just checked my Sennheiser manual and the only thing I saw was how to replace the coiled cable. I don't see anything about replacing the cable that goes to the right ear. Will I have to send my headphones back to...- JGene

Help--Sennheiser HD-280 torn cable!
Help! When I folded my Sennheiser HD-280 headphones the other day, I heard a snap and I noticed that the cable that connects to the right ear is now in two seperate pieces. I got the headphones from Amazon.com only two weeks ago. Can I get a replacement cable, and if so--where? I don't...- JGene

Best amp to use with HD280's?
The Sennheiser 280s sound pretty good, but it is critical that you burn them in first. The highs are all over the place for the first 20 hours during burn in. After 30 hours, the highs start to level out. At 50 hours, the bass becomes very apparent. At 100 hours, they just sound wonderful...- JGene

Best amp to use with HD280's?
No, I've only tried them with one amp. I'd love to hear a Meta42, but I'll stick with my Super Mini for a while to come- JGene

I just got my Super Mini V3 today and it works well with my Sennheiser HD-280s. I haven't burned in the amp yet, but I'm pleased with the results thus far- JGene

Supermini V3 on it's way!
I just got my Super Mini V3 today. I've been playing around with it and I like the sound quality a lot. The bass on my Sennheiser HD-280 headphones sounds bit tighter. Highs also sound very clear. I hooked up my Super Mini to my Nomad II and I was amazed that it could sound that good. I'm...- JGene

Just got my Sennheiser HD-280s
Yeah, I noticed the bass started to open up at about 15 hours, however it was starting to get very good at 50 hours. I've burned in my headphones for about 72 hours so far. I'll burn them in for another day and a half and then go it from there. I hook up my headphones to my USB sound card...- JGene
