    Complete newbie here - HD595's for portable audio/dvds?

    Well as an update to it all, I got the headphones monday and have been "burning them in" since (with probably 30-40 hours so far). When first using them out of the box I was very disappointed in the sound quality - I'm not an audiophile and can't describe what the problem was exactly.. they...
