Anyone go back to the stock cord? I find it way less fatiguing, and very comfortable even at high sound levels. The bass is better for rap & electronic music too imo. All in all I found I find it more enjoyable these days

  It is for me. I'm more sensitive to a lot of chemicals more than the average person though. I had to keep my X1 in front of a blowing fan for hours before I could wear my X1s. Took about 4 days before I could use them them for prolonged periods of time without any issues. Lovin my X1s now :)

I use to get headaches from the fresh chemicals on the X1 until it gassed off.

Just received mine today, 1 day earlier then expected! Some quick impressions:   First impression after I heard the bass hit was "Is this really an open back headphone?!". The bass was satisfying and this is coming from an Ultrasone 580. I switched out the stock cord after listening to a...

Just got my pair of the white versions, and must say I'm really impressed after 3 hours of burn-in. They remind me of my hifi-580 in earphone form. The rubber wiring really helps with all the complaints of the previous model, and the stock tips seem to work well for me as I'm not even sure if I...

I'm thinking of buying these. Can these be ok for jogging without the annoying wire rubbing noise?

The comfort on the 580 is terrible. Tough earpads, hard clamp, and a piercing pain feeling on top of your skull because the padding on top is hard & useless. They are pretty good for all kinds of music.

Just saw this deal on amazon and immediately went here for more information. I don't even need new headphones but I am intrigued to buy! Some portables will be nice... last goldbox deal I bought some monster turbines and they were defective with one ear not working so I returned them. What's the...

Hey guys, any idea how to fix this?     Doesn't seem like I can just tuck it in and I have no idea how they made it stay put if you can.

  Quote:   I'm going to look into those. Do they change the sound signature? If so how? But if I can fix this that can probably wait.   Anyone know how to fix this? It doesn't seem like I can just tuck it in and l have no idea how to seal it to keep it put.

About 1/4 of my right earpad has been torn off. I have no idea how and will post pictures if needed, but how does one go around repairing it himself the proper way? It looks like there is no adhesive. Were they just tucked in by the manufacture? Also the warranty said it excludes torn earpads ;(...

Quote: Hmm I might have to dump my Xonar DX for an ST/STX/

Quote: Yeah I usually have the volume at 10-20 in windows 7 so I don't fatigue/damage my ears from long listening!     

Depending on the recording and your EQ, you can feel the bass rumble. Like try this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNu_LnaGxGw better if you can get it in better quality. The beginning of the song literally vibrates my headphones and ears so these headphones are capable but it really...

Just wait till Monster actually makes the SQ good for the next versions of beats..

Today at school I saw this guy leaning his back and one leg against an oak  tree wearing some red beats by dre. Then some fly honey walked up to him asking to take a quick listen. After she was done she smiled and the two walked away together.

  Quote:   They're great for electronic music but I do wonder if slightly darker headphones would be better though. Synths sound clear, treble is good, the bass is detailed and it can be tight or loose depending on the recording. The mids opened up a bit after more than 8 hours of...

Tell him to buy them at amazon and return them if he doesn't like them. 5 dollar shipping is all he'll probably lose.

So nice that my 580's came in less than 5 days from overstocks free shipping. So far they seem good without burn-in and these are the first new headphones that don't fatigue my ears at high levels prior to burn-in... but I don't know is it fair to compare these to the beats? They seem like two...

 I wanted the DT990's after reading Mad Lust Envys gaming headphone thread as I wanted something with decent bass while remaining somewhat open. The AD700's sound great in that they are sparkling clear and the soundstage is great (immersive in that way). I just find the bass lacking but I can...

I have the xonar DX internal soundcard for my pc and it suggests 8 channel is for  "3d games". My soundcard "typical suggestions":   2CH: MP3, WMA, AAC, CD, VCD, 6CH: DVD with DOlby Digital or DTS, WMA-Pro 8CH: DVD with Dolby Digital EX or DTS ES 8CH: 3D Games   So try using 8ch...

I just bought a pair from overstock for 139.99 plus 4% cash back and I can't wait to get my hands on them :) Chose these over the m50's and I just returned my Monster Turbines because they sucked (right side defective as well).. can't wait I'm sure these headphones are decent enough to keep me...

Quote: True. i just cannot wait another week or 2+. I've been without good headphones for a month+. I'm so disappointed today lol. I might have to 2 day some other headphones tonight.

I just got my Turbines from the Amazon Goldbox sale today and just put them on to find out the right side doesn't work at all!!! What I got excited for nothing!! Judging from just hearing the leftside (while trying to imagine hearing the right too) I am glad I did not buy these for over 100...
