    Sennheiser Customer (dis)Service

    Next time I'm in Chicago you get beer and a pizza at Gino's East. I called back and spoke with the same lady as before. She was, as before, very courteous and as helpful as she could be. I explained to her about the HD600 headband and the possibility of using it on the HD580s. She was eager...

    Sennheiser Customer (dis)Service

    I'm so mad right now I want to stick my head in a microwave. I bought new HD580s from Amazon about 2 years ago. These were purchased new directly from Amazon and have been on a stand in my living room when not on my head. For whatever reason the headband cracked then eventually broke. Sucks...

    Broken Headband on Senn 580s

    After about 2 years of service the headband on my Senn 580s cracked tonight. There are actually several small cracks right at the apex of the plastic band. Does Sennheiser sell replacement headbands for these things? If not how can I get these back in service? They have well over a thousand...

    Do you prefer Bon Scott or Brian Johnson as the AC/DC lead singer?

    No question Bon Scott. Halford - when in his prime - with Priest. Sadly his voice is gone now.

    Richard Strauss Fans - Help Identify a Song

    I was listening to the local NPR station's classical music program the other night and heard a wonderful piece that I've yet been able to locate. It was performed by the Minneapolis Orchestra in the Minneapolis Orchestra Hall. Not sure of the date. It featured a Finnish tenor with an angelic...

    "Angel Band" - The Stanley Brothers from the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" OST Gospel Bluegrass is simple, beautiful and comforting to me.

    best cheap closed cans?

    K81DJ. Burn in for at least 48 hours (100 hours is better) and stretch the headband as needed. Isolation and sound are a thing of beauty for the price.

    Which headphone was your "best bang for the buck?"

    HD580 and K81DJ were purchased with Amazon gift certificates I received for answering survey questions. You could call them free I suppose.

    are you a IEM person?

    I've tried them on two occasions and have had real problems with pain in the ear canal. Any tips I tried didn't help. That being said, the isolation was wonderful and am considering giving them another shot. It's one of those things I wish I could do and will probably keep trying different...

    All styles guitar player virtuoso

    Had no idea the man was so accomplished on the guitar. If you told me he did anything other than Feliz Navidad I would have argued. Thanks for posting this.
