Ultra-Micro fuzzy volume
I have the problem with fuzzy volume on the Ultra-Micro and I use the "wiping the volume knob backwards and forwards" workaround. However as time goes by the problem gets worse, and the amount of time between me having to do it decreases. Surely doing this every day must be a massive source of...- noparanoia

what kind of headphones is thom yorke using here?

why do you choose headphones?
I think angle_sh00ter made a bit of a typo when choosing his name... Yep! The correct answer is that he meant to write: "A Massive Troll"- noparanoia

Those look a bit bling for mr. Yorke, but I guess it is a DJ set. I think when performing he generally wears those in ear monitors with the wires that stick out and make him look (more) like a cat/elf. Has anyone got any idea what brand of monitors Radiohead use?- noparanoia

How much should I bid...
The only thing that worries me about 5 year old cans is the fact of buying something second had off ebay. As opposed to new from a dealer, where you get returns and a warranty. Oh well they went while I was busy chatting anyway What a massive waste of time... So based on my rushed and...- noparanoia

How much should I bid...
I love classical, have always found it suprisingly underwhelming on my headphones, prehaps playing in an orchestra has spoilt it a little for me. I am a lover of warm sound, I hate even the slightest feeling of "sharpness", completely spoils my listening experience and sense of emersion. The way...- noparanoia

How much should I bid...
Some nutters have bid them up to £120 ($185). I hate the idea of buying new Senns. I already have a (broken) pair, I doubt I will like the new ones any more than the old ones, if they are any different I will like them less. I resent having to spend a load of money to replace something I already...- noparanoia

Chasing a 5 year old (decent-ish condition) pair of HD650s which have light use (around 800 hrs aprtly.) I like the sound sig of these oldies. But how much is a pair this old actually worth? With 1hr left they seem awfully pricey for their age. Thanks- noparanoia

Proof of burn in? Or differences between old/new HD650s? Or both?
I agree with Wasp. Seductive is a lovely way to put it. The bass just draws you in and makes you feel so involved in the music. Of course I have only heard one ear of the new kind.- noparanoia

So Sennheiser do have a representative on this forum? I would love to be able to talk to them, and as I can just point them in the direction of my threads it will save a lot of hassle explaining my situation. When you say occasionally, how infrequently do you mean? Also I'm guessing that if they...- noparanoia

hehe... I knew this would be a bit controversial Thanks for the replies people. I am also leaning towards the different driver hypothesis. I am going to bid for a pair of 5 year old HD650s on Ebay this week. If the drivers are good I will clip both of them into my nice new headband (that I...- noparanoia
