Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Does anybody know why the replacement HD600 ear pads are out of stock everywhere in EU? I can't seem to find a store that would have them for sale. Sennheiser online shop says that they are sold out, Thomann says that they won't have them in stock for 3 months, and the biggest online audio gear...- SkySilent

The Sennheiser HD580 Impressions Thread
As you can see in the reply I've got from Sennheiser, the item number/part number is the exact same one - 586415, so I assume it is available. I forgot to mention that when I sent the inquiry, I specified that I am looking for a replacement headband for a new version (Romanian) HD600, not the...- SkySilent

The Sennheiser HD580 Impressions Thread
It is possible to order a new version Romanian HD600 headband, instead of a marble (countertop) one. Then you can easily transplant 580 metal yokes (height adjustment sliders) together with driver capsules onto a matte grey headband ("Made In Ireland" tabs can also be transplanted, I think)...- SkySilent

The Sennheiser HD580 Impressions Thread
Yeah, it seems that you are right - after another brief comparison I've come to the same conclusion that the headbands are indeed the same. I think I was misled by the rigidness of the plastic because it felt that it be should be strong enough so that metal sliders won't be able to widen/warp...- SkySilent

The Sennheiser HD580 Impressions Thread
I always thought that HD580 and HD600 use the same plastic headband, only with different color schemes. It turns out that they are actually different shape - 580 headband is wider. When I compared the pre-2019 marble HD600 (with silver drivers), I immediately noticed a much stronger clamp force...- SkySilent

Koss KSC75's. Dont Forget This Giant Killer in all the ''Hidden Gem'' Hype.
Has anyone here tried the KSC75 + Parts Express headband + Sennheiser HD414 pads combo? While I'm waiting for the headphones and the headband to arrive, I'm thinking of getting myself some aftermarket pads because I have quite large ears and I think I won't find the stock pads comfortable...- SkySilent

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Unfortunately, I do not have the original outer box. The seller told me that, if his memory serves him right, there was "Made in Romania" written on the original outer sleeve (box). After a bit of searching, I've found a couple of Sennheiser 6 series headphones that were for sale and didn't have...- SkySilent

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Anybody know what time did HD600 headphones start having production date stamps on parts? I have recently bought a pristine used older style (marble blue) Sennheiser HD600 Avantgarde which was bough by an original owner from an authorized retailer in Poland in August 2019. I have had an older...- SkySilent

The Sennheiser HD580 Impressions Thread
Hello. I've found a 2nd gen flat plate Made in Ireland HD580 for sale with an original box and documentation. The seller claims that he is the original owner and that the headphones have never been used. He told me that he tested them and they are fully functional. The headphones look rough: the...- SkySilent

Fiio DAC vs Sound Card for audio PC
I think E10K would be enough for me. I don't use headphones with balanced 2.5 mm cable, so a more powerful 3.5 mm output of E10K is a plus in my book. E10K is also cheaper, and I personally prefer analog volume control over the digital one.- SkySilent
