Personally I am not a huge astro fan, but I must say this do sound pretty damn good.

dt880s are definitely nice and sound fine with a mixamp as long as you have the 32ohm drivers.  

Just thought I would post some pics of my most recent mod.  Paint schema is two toned black with metallic orange highlights and grills and then some charcoal pearl gray on the driver housing.  I rewired the right to left driver and mic connection using some mogami w2929 cable and eliminated the...

another way to prevent the cracking issue would be to bond the little plastic in between the front and back of the arms to the front arm piece using some epoxy.  this would probably be the best way to relieve any pressure on the front arm piece.  as for the sound you hear...  listen to where it...

if the arms crack on the hd5xx, all you have to do is call sennusa.  you can send them back to get refurbished or you can get them to send you replacement arms if you are up to the task of resoldering the right driver .  also an easy way to prevent the cracking issue is to simply loosen up the...

The ad700s shine in fps games, but the hd5xx are always a good choice.  The HD5xx (555, 595, 558,598) are much better all around headphones though.  The 700s don't sound all that great when listening to music or watching movies, while the HD5xx sound pretty good all around.  The pc360s use the...

I have done the dt880s.   I think the hd555/595s are the hardest headphones to get a good fit/look with the mod.  the angle of the cups and then the way the drivers are seated really limits your options with thsoe.   Anyway, the dt880s are fairly spacious inside and its always nice to work...

I agree on the heatshrink.  I usually avoid it, but the silver mic jack has a really large opening that the mogami cable was getting lost in (canare mini quad fits those a bit better)  uptop on the senn jacks I should have use a smaller size tubing, but i noobed it and didn't slide the tubing on...

Don't know if any of you considering purchasing headphones in search of a mic for gaming have seen this: Sennheiser HD595 Mic Mod - Page 7 - MLG Forums URL=http://img20.imageshack.us/i/hd595sideview.jpg/][/URL]

Yeah, I had been doing something similar with a metal bracket velcroed to the bottom on the earcup and then the mic attached via heatshrink tubing... this idea was def not mine... actually i saw this one posted somewhere in this forum on Beyerdynamic DT770s I believe. The mic jack addition is...

Just wanted to share a mic mod I have been doing on hd555/595s. Hope you guys don't mind my laziness, but here is a link to my original how to: Sennheiser HD595 Mic Mod - Page 3 - MLG Forums I have cleaned up the mod quite a bit overtime and here is one of the HD555 that I recently...
