I got the T 90's back in November from Massdrop. I had the same concerns, particularly about the potentially harsh high end.  (I listen to mostly rock, lots of progressive and metal, so very guitar-heavy stuff). Yes, at first, the highs are aggressive (I didn't really find much sibilance...

I had an unfortunate accident involving water with my FIIO 07K, and that little unexpected demise caused me to hunt around for a new portable amp. I became intrigued with the Nano, and purchased it from Amazon. Alas, the experience was pretty much entirely negative. I like this little amp, and...

I think it's close. I use these phones every day, and I am still very impressed...they have that closed vibe in the way they feel isolated, but there is definitely a very wide (for closed cans) soundstage. I find them a bit hard to describe, because they have aspects of both, in a good way. If...

I agree. Three weeks with 7xxx...and for me, it blows away the 598s. Which I LOVED until the K7xx. The Ks have a wider soundstage, punchier bass, more detail than the 598s...and the mids. Oh the mids! I never thought of them as muddled on the 598s....but on the K7, the mids expand and reveal...

I burned mine in for a couple hundred hours...and found the sound profile barely changed. They sounded awesome out of the box. They require less burn-in than any cans I've owned so far.

Totally agree. My E07K makes a huge difference in the sound. And despite hours and months of daily use, I've noticed no cracking or physical issues. I still think these are the most amazing closed cans you can buy sub-500 bucks.

I know what you mean and I've noticed it too. Doesn't bother me...even doing stuff around the house, unless I actually bump the ear cups i don't hear it. Personally I believe it's a normal function of the really strong seal they make (which to be clear is a major reason why these sound so...

Well I'm pleased to report that after five days the clamipng pressure seems to have eased up a bit, just enough to move it from noticeable to not really. You can still feel a solid seal from the pressure...i suspect this almost-pressurized seal you get with these things contributes to its...

Dude i am a huge Television fan! Seen them several times and worship Marquee Moon. (I will give it a spin, thanks for the reminder!) I listen to a lot of metal and prog (and the intersection of the two). Through the PSB's I've been spinning a variety of stuff...Opeth, Floyd, Super Furry Animals...

Yeah i wouldn't characterize the construction as poor per se...just that they are heavy and clampy for those of us with big heads. (i haven't heard any kind of cracking in the band when i use them so i must not be stressing them as much as some folks are). I did feel like yesterday the pressure...

I will need more time with them (and time to write) in order to give a full review, but i spent a few hours with them yesterday. Holy crap. A. yes ,they sound smashing right out of the box. (so much so that i find it hard to imagine how much more they could improve from burn in.) B. wow, they...

Thanks guys. It's on the FedEx truck as I write! Glad to hear i can enjoy out of the box. Wasn't true of my Ultrasones for sure. I'll do at least a full week of pink noise in any event. I'll be sure to report back my thoughts once i live with them for a few days. Already have my "headphone demo"...

Took the plunge. PSB will be here tomorrow. What have folks done for burn-in time on these?

I am currently trying to deccide between these and AKG K550s. I need closed cans for use when my wife is watching tv etc. I've been using Ultrasone 680's for about a year and really like them but am looking to upgrade and get a bit more space in the signature. Heard great things about both cans...

Thanks! Sounds like the Senn's might be better for me...I prefer the mids over the bass and can boost the low end with the E11 anyway. I'll check out your recs as well. Thanks again!
