Gah!!! Was afraid that might be the best solution here :( Thanks for all the advice. Going to try the HD650's or 6XXs. My price range is probably around 600 max here so the DT 1990 Pro's were at my limit. Sennheisers appear to be the next best thing for my listening preferences.

Recently upgraded from a pair of HD598s to these. Really loving the sound of these cans........BUT...... I seem to not be able to use them without some heavy EQ to soften up some of the higher frequencies. It feels like when I do this I am removing some of the uniqueness and brightness that the...

Bump. Any help would be great. Just need a bump in the right direction.

Hey guys, so I am not that new to the forums, but I have not had any experience with IEM's. I was first turned away from them due myself feeling uncomfortable with how you had to shove them in your ears. Since then I have somewhat become open to using them again. I had a few questions in regards...

I am looking for an amp that will give the 598's an increase in bass. I am not a basshead but I enjoy decent bass when listening to electronic/techno music. Is this even possible with these cans?

Gotcha. I'm looking to take it up a notch to around $300 cans

The more and more I keep reading reviews...... I am getting an overload of information here.....some say the 598's lack substantially in bass for electronic...some say they don't.....some say the AKG K 550's suck for gaming and movies and don't have that much bass....GAH!!!! I wish there was a...

Quote: Not a big fan.   Quote:   Wouldn't or would go for the K550's? Confusing me here lol. Quote:   I mean't noise or bass bothering my experience.   Quote:  What would you suggest then? Go for the AKG 550's or settle for the SRH 840's maybe? I actually...

Quote: It will be plugged in via my computers Motherboard (using on-board Sound). I have yet to purchase a sound card.And I will also be plugging it into my ipod.   I am concerned about not having a perfectly quite environment, and that sound will leak into the 598's, as I cannot...

Hey guys,       Here is my situation....     I am a college student living in a duplex with 3 up top with me and two downstairs. There is usually a decent amount of noise in the house with this situation. Which is why I'm a little hesitant to get open cans, but I have never had...

Ok great. I am really leaning toward the 598's. Though, how much money am I going to have to spend on an amp to make it worth while and hopefully add some bass? I am afraid after getting these I might be disappointed with the bass. These are for gaming/movies Just as much as music if not a...

Quote:   Ok, great. Thanks for the advice. I have looked into the AKG K 550's and they look great. I have shorter hair and no beard,sideburns,glasses so I think I would be able to get a seal. And they also look portable enough. I had a final questions before I go ahead with my purchase...

Quote:  I mean't that I didn't want my roommates to hear them through the wall with the sound on high. I also have heard the Bass is kind of weak on the 598's after looking around...fixed with an amp like the E7?   But, after thinking about it, I would probably want to use these in...

I am looking to upgrade after selling my Senn PXC 450's, which I regretfully purchased...Here is what I use headphones for   -Game ( I play a lot of MMORPG's as well as FPS - so ambiance sound is crucial) -Music ( pretty much every genre from Rap to classical) -Movies ( I watch a lot of...

Forgot about the Recommendations thread. Sorry. Will post there next time.

Was also considering the Audio Technica A700's

Hey Guys,       So here it is. My first pair of headphones were the Denon AH-D1001's, but after idiotically wanted "Noise Cancelling" I bought the Senn PXC 450's, and I barely used the feature and the quality isn't anything great compared to the Denon1001's. I feel like a schmuck after...

Denon AH-D2000's or ATH-M50s??   I listen to a lot of electronic/dubstep/techno so bass is a must.   Any other cans in their price ranges that can compare?

From what I hear the ATH- A700's are lacking Bass, which I indeed enjoy.   Anyone have any experience with  the ATH- M50's?......... compared to the AH-D2000's? Both are bass heavy but which is an overall better can for the price?

I actually don't think I will utilize a regular amp enough. I would much prefer a decent portable amp.   and does anyone have experience with the Ultrasone Pro 550's compared to the D2000's?

If I were to get the D2000's what would be a reasonably priced amp to get? Below $100. Ive heard the ZO http://www.digizoid.com/zo/    is decent for bass increases, but I hear at the highest setting can be overwhelming. Any suggestions or experiences? And how are the Ultrason Pro 550's compared...

Forgot to mention, I don't have an amp at the moment, and with what I plan to spend on cans, I don't plan on spending much for an amp. Will probably get a cheap one.   With that in mind, does anyone know how the bass of the Fischer FA-003's is compared to the AH-D2000's?  How are these two...

Not Complete Isolation. Enough that if my door is shut people cannot hear them leaking.

I am a college Student, so depending where I am at, most likely my main desktop computer or my laptop, as well as my IPOD 120g less frequently.
