Hey folks just wondering would the burn in time be the same for earbuds as it would for full size headphones... For instance is the burn-in for the Senn MX500 the same as the HD600 ? I've heard that the HD600 could take 50 hours... How long do earbuds take to burn-in or do they even requiring...

In my system with Yamaha Stereo 2 channel receiver (Model :RX-396) 50x2 Min. Watts and Mission 701 speakers will it make a noticeable difference between a $79 CD Player and a $1000 CD Player in my system ? Thanks

Ok, what CD Player fits my system the best for sound quality (NOTE: CD Player must be under $500 U.S.) I have a Yamaha RX396 Receiver (50 Min. Watts x 2) and my Headphones are Sennheiser HD590 I was debated on getting the Yamaha CDC-775 or the Sony SCD-CE775.. Any other suggestions ...

Ok, example here how important is the source in getting quality sound to your headphones... For instance ignoring the prices and just looking at the CD Players would it make a huge difference in whether a set of HD600's is hooked up to a $79 RCA 5 disc changer or a $2000 LINN CD Player. (Note...

Ok I suppose if you have a really good amp and source you can tell a difference in sound but I've had the HD-580's (Which I heard two weeks ago for the last time so I can't do a direct comparison switching back and forth) But to me with my Mid-Fi source and amp (Yamaha Receiver and Yamaha CD...

Hey all just got the HD-590... Pretty good sound so far even before break-in but MY OH MY do they ever leak sound... 2x as much as the HD-580 I'd say. The are louder outside the phones then when you are hearing them unless my pair is screwed up don't know. Anything I can do about this ?

WIll it be hard on my headphones if I crank the bass and treble onto my receiver at full rather than flat. FULL BASS and FULL TREBLE listening at Moderate to Moderate-High volume is this slightly hard on the headphone drivers ? THanks

If a have a pair of headphones that have a 6' cord if I buy a separate extension cord for my headphones just say a 10' and add it to my 6' cord to make 16' Does that degrade sound even slightly or will the sound be 100% with a extension or without ? Thanks

Well after 2 weeks of regular use my HD 580's one side I get no sound at all.. I suspect after changing the wires that it is a cable problem.. Note: I never even touch the cables (i.e. moved them in or out during the 2 weeks I had them) I pad $200 for these and now I get sound out of one ear I...

When worn... In your opinion which headphones leak more sound the Sennheiser HD580 or the Sennheiser HD590 ??? Thanks

Where do you folks keep your bass and treble and your receiver when using headphones .... If Bass goes from 0-10 and treble 0-10... Does leaving it on 5 and 5 seem logical... What reason would there be to have it different... Would 10 and 10 be hard on the headphones or would they take it in the...

Okay just got the Senn HD580... First impressions without break-in yet VERY VERY good this is just on my Yamaha Receiver... Ok Now for the first question... I understand that 30-40 hours of break-in is optimal but it may be stupid question but does it matter at what volume your breaking in...

Okay I have a 50x2 watt Yamaha Stereo receiver with a Yamaha 5 Disc Changer... Will my receiver be enough to drive the Senn 590... what about the Senn 600... I heard the 590's are easier to drive so I might get those. How is the sound quality without using an headphone amp ? Right now I'm...

I have been hearing the Senn brand of headphones are not very good for rock or metal music (classical is where they shine) is this true ? I was thinking of getting the HD600 exclusively for rock music only... Should I just as well get a $100US pair of sony or grado headphones rather than the...

I just want to see the results of this poll... What would you rather listen to / prefer: Metallica's Black Album (Metallica) or AC/DC's Back in Black ? I'm interested to see out of these two what gets the most votes.

Ok, opinions please. What is better overall (sound,comfort) etc.. although more importantly sound Sony MDR-CD380 or Koss R80 I can get one of these pairs for the exact same price what would you recommend out of these two ? Thanks

Ok they say sennheiser is not great with rock music but can really shine with classical. If I strickly listen to rock, hard rock and heavy metal I am farthar ahead to get Sony MDR-CD380 over Sennheiser 495 or 570 ? Note this is for rock music only. Plus I'm looking for Headphones under...

I was wondering since I listen to majority of AC/DC what headphones do you recommend ? The reason why I ask cause AC/DC's music is different not really heavy-metal just kind of an old-style hard rock and roll. The guitars are different sounding so anybody know what phones would shine with...

Ok, people talk of portable audio (CD-Discman's etc.) do not have enough power to properly power headphones that are about 300 Ohms (Senn HD600 etc.) Will a YAMAHA RX396 recevier and CD Player (Home stereo, separate components) be able to power a set of 300 Ohms Headphones (sen HD600 or Sen...
