If anyone reads this after I would say that after about 50 hours the sound changed for the better, and this is 50 hours of it playing on the side so it is not a issue of me getting used to it.   I think that the sound opened up a lot and that these headphones seem much better now, the most...

Yeah, I have the 438's too.   What do you mean about the cable, I was confused about it too

Hi, I was wondering if anyone on this site knew about any music which was recorded in binaural sound   ie. Virtual barbershop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IXm6SuUigI&feature=related   ...besides pearl jam

Thanks for the help btw

Alright, so I guess the best sounding option would be to redownload everything in best quality (cannot afford to buy cd), but (accounting in average download quality) how much of a difference would it make.   Hard to quantify so mayb easier by saying (if its that much of a difference) by...

I heard from someone else 2day that having a e5 WOULD make my music sound a lot better?

What is the burn-in time needed to make these have an significant improvement in sound and what type of sound would be best (rock, rap, classical, doesn't matter)    So far I am not that impressed they don't sound that much better than my portapro's, but for only 5$ more I guess I shouldn't...

ok, great    I don't have any music on cd's... is there any program which you would personally reccomend (which is easiet to use) to make your songs into better quality.

I might use these on my Teclast M66 or iPhone. What about for those?   Thanks for the tip on the music files, I assume those would help with all headphones (have 238, 200, portapro)

Will I need to get an amp to get the full sound out of these cans?   I have a fiio e3 but will that be good enough or should I get and e5 or l2?   I listen to opera and rap primarily, what should I do to the music files in order to optimize them for this?   I know the 438 is better...

Yup, got sennheiser hd438's from the money

Actually I have bought multiple SENNHEISER headphones off ebay and they do come with the warranty, you simply go to their website and register your product. If you want something real then it is not that hard to find.    I hate when people bad mouth ebay when they have no information about...

Any info on any portable phones (<200) would be good

Sennheiser HD448 are pretty cheap on ebay   Come with Sennheiser Warranty so they are real

Hi, I've decided to get headphones for my bday   My current choice is the sennheiser mm400 (gonna buy on ebay- with sennheiser warranty)   I have had sennheiser hd238 precision, px100 and px 200 (broken )   Does anyone know how these would compare stirctly in terms of sound quality...

Thanks for the help everybody   I've now succesfully sold these headphones for 100$, a  profit of 60$   Now I can get some real headphones

This is what the pro guy said   'Hi, It is more than likely a burned out driver. Not worth fixing it in my opinion. I would look at it for you for free if you want. It will cost you $20 to disassemble it to check out the wires or the driver. If it is the wires and if they can be fixed I...

Go for the sennhesisers if you want affordability and sound quality   Go for the beats if you want to look cool and noise cancellation   From your post, I think you want the beats and are trying to get others to convince you to justify the money that you will spend on them   Well you...

Quote:   I emailed a pro about it, waiting for the price quote   hope its cheap

why do you think their counterfeit?  

Quote:   The wire worked with my amp and my other headphones   So that means it's the drivers?   Are those the things powering the headphones themselves?   I see a wire which runs from one side of the headphone to the other, could it be this wire?   Sorry but could...

Quote: Which wire are you talking about, cause I tried the wire for my beats, on my friends and it worked for him, so I guess the problem is internal to the headphone.   Is it fixable though, cause I literally just got them yesterday and there is no warranty   I guess I could...

what that sucks   is the wire fixable?

Even if it is fake   I don`t understand how one of the the ears could just spontenously stop working,   I tested it out when the guy had it and also by myself and it worked fine   and now it just breaks down in the middle of a song.   If (hopefully not) this is a problem with the...
