Well, yeah, I actually was that busy. But not anymore, which is why I found time to post here. I mean, I haven't been on head-fi in almost two months. But it's all good. As for airing grievances on a public forum, I didn't think I would cause such a ruckus by asking if anyone else had slow...

Of course I will update the situation whenever it gets resolved. Who knows, they may have sent me my money back already, lol. As for not having a reason to complain...sorry man, but 5-6 weeks should've been plenty of time either way. And these days, email contact is as ubiquitous as a phone...

I was using my hotmail account, but I don't think it would be filtered, since I have spoken with Mario at Headroom before via email and he answered all my questions, though like you guys said, they are busy people and it takes a few days or so. But I'll give them a call, since I have more...

Has anyone ever had a problem getting a refund from Headroom? It's been greater than 30 days, and I have had NO information as to the state of a pair of headphones I returned to them over a month ago. I have sent a couple of emails, but there have been no replies. At the very least, it would be...

Hopefully, when I go back home tomorrow, the local hi-fi stores have some Sennheisers. It will be interesting to be able to do a direct comparison between my Beyer DT880s and AKG 501s.

The AKGs are comfortable, but I prefer the Beyers still. They are heavier, but the fuzzy gray velour really is plush against your skin. You'll forget you have them on, whereas the pads on the AKGs can get tiring on your face. They seem to get a little hotter, but unlike pleather, they don't get...

I just got the 501, and haven't really burned it in yet (currently about 20 hours), but it's growing on me. The midrange on these is sweet. Way better than my Beyer DT880, which I love to death. The bass is a bit light, as far as extension and impact. But it's tight and articulate, which is...

Quote: There is no perfect headphone, if that's what you're looking for. Of course I know this. But that doesn't mean I can't try to get as close to what I want. Like I said, I love my Beyer DT880 for most everything, but there are just a few things that sound so good on the AKG...

I can't seem to find info for the AKG 340...are these discontinued models? Also, has anyone had a cable upgrade for their AKG 501's? The headphile stuff looks like it might be able to balance the sound out a bit more, adding more bass and getting a better balance between the mids/highs. I...

Quote: Maybe someone could cook up a headphone that has all three drivers of the headphones you mentioned and set the crossovers so that highs would go to the DT880 drivers, mids to the K501 drivers and lows to the Grado driver.... It would be $$$, but so is the Orpheus, yet a luck few get...

Quote: Sounds to me like you need the SR325i. It has the highest highs of the Prestige Grados, it has the deepest bass of em too, and it's bass slam is impactful and energetic and won't put you to sleep like a Senn. And the mids...if you think the K501 have nice mids, wait until you hear...

Thanks, good to know. Browsing through the forum, I get the sense the HD595 would have a stronger bass but not quite the sparkly, exciting highs in the Beyers and AKGs. But then there's talk of the "laid back" Sennheiser sound. I assume that the 595 is not anywhere as laid back as say, the 600...

Man, head-fi is slowly going to make a pauper out of me! Anyway, as I stated in my very first post here, my first "real" headphones were the Beyer DT880s. I love these cans, they are detailed, have a nice soundstage, and have a very in-your-face front row sound. I thought they were very well...

I just saw this thread. How much of an improvement did the Micro amp gain from having the Desktop module installed? My micro module sounds great with my Beyer DT880...really brings out more of a midrange, but this is my first and (so far) only amp, so that doesn't really mean much. Sound...

For an extra $40, you can get the Beyer DT880 shipped from B&H Photo. And these have an excellently balanced sound, that gets even more impressive when amped. You will absolutely need an amp to get the most out of this headphone. The Sennheiser HD 600 refurbed is under $200 at Amazon, I...
