I agree with the Panasonic HT600 recommendation - and I am a Sennheiser fan.  I have the 201's - but rarely use them.  When I do, it is just to sleep in, really.  I think I paid about $11.00 for a refurbished pair about 6 years ago.  I got a pair of HT600's for $18 recently, and I love them. ...

Hey Now -   Thanks  for the quick reply. Re: the 439s,  I do not know what all physics - burning in - placebo - and/or just adjusting to a particular sound have to do with any of it, but I cannot justify taking these back!  After two more days of burn in,  I put these on this morning (paired...

Hey Now - Congrats!  Have you any other Sennheiser to which you could compare these?  I have HD 238 - 439 and PX 100.  I have been drooling over the HD 598 - but wondering if the 558 might be a better fit.  I can get the 558 - in store  (BB)- but they are not on display, so I cannot have a...

I have had these for two days - and maybe I have not let them burn in enough (have had 10-15 hours), but I just have not developed any love for these.  I really want to because, as I have stated in other threads, someone used their employee discount @ BB to get these for me, so I paid only $42...

Quote: I notice that the price goes down in the evening - EST for me - and then jumps back up by the next afternoon.  Two nights ago at about 3 AM EST - they were down to $220 then by 11 AM they were back at $249.  If you do not mind buying refurbished - still with a 2 year warranty - they...

Quote:   Thanks - Yes, I can see how easy it would be to fall in love the PX100 line.  I go back to that one often.    Not to hijack - (pardon OP)    I have some coupons too, so the cost will be at least another $25 cheaper for the 558.  I will strongly have to consider getting these.

Wow -   This is a bit disappointing to read.  I have had my mind on the HD 598 a few weeks now- and last night asked what everyone thought about my possibly buying those refurbished @ 169 (Amazon) over the 558 new - @ $95 new (a friend's employee discount at BB).  He got me the 439s last...

Hello All,   I just want to get the opinion of those of you who are familiar with these headphones.  I am going through a headphone buying spree - of sorts - at the moment. I am partial to Sennheiser -   Tonight - a buddy of mine - who works at BB - purchased the HD 439s for me - and...

  Quote: As a former member of their forums and someone who got royally screwed by them a couple of Christmases ago, I have to say that if you have not gotten your refund yet, - and if you paid by Paypal - file a claim against them.  For nearly a year, I went through RMA hell with them...
