I have the HE-500 which I am using as my PC headphones. Theyre connected to a 9 year old PPA amp, and that has RCA outputs. Right now I am using a RCA to mini plug and thats going to my Xfi Titanium HD sound card, which I believe has its own amp for mini input. This sound card also has RCA...

II just got these and they sound great...my only problem is that the cords that connect to the headphone seem like they can only get so tight, so when I play games if i move around at all soemtimes itll crackle because the of the loose connection...am i doing something wrong or is this just how...

Not directly related to headphones themselves- but has anyone bought stuff from this website: http://www.head-direct.com/products.php?m=5 ?  I bought my HE-500 off of it on Sunday night, got am email around 10 PM CT (which is kind of weird because the website says the business would be closed by...

I have a PPA amp I bought in sometime in 2004 that seems to still work fine and was wondering if this should be adequate for the HE-500 (has not arrived yet)? Im using the PPA with the K701 at the moment and it sounds fine though since its the only amp I have had I have no idea what I might be...

^^ I pmed the guy you mentioned 2 days ago- no response as of yet. Also checked radioshack and that didn't work If I were unable to get this fixed, I might buy the k702. Does the K702 have the annoying intermittent sound issue that would pop up every few months like it would with the...

Aren't K701 and K702 the exact same? Just wondering because almost no one has mentioned those.

Does all that stuff have to be taken a part eve just for the cord? I am from Illinois, about 25 miles south of Chicago.

The left side of these headphones is intermittent and it keeps getting worse over time. What is the cheapest way to get this cable fixed/replaced?

I still haven't been able to find oehlbach cables . Is there any out there similar? I'm probably just going to order another stock cable on monday if I can't find an oehlbach or something similar, this problem is too annoying .

Yeah, guess they are out of production How much do these cables usually cost?

Bump Anyone know where I can find the oehlbach cable?

Thanks for the info I can't find the oelbalch cables on the Meier site tho

I might get the hd650 now. Just wondering, are these better then the 595 and 580's in almost everyway, for music + games? My amp is a PPA btw.
