monster magnet's mastermind sounds really good on my hd25's

sennheiser hd25II? sennheiser hd25II

for some reason I can't install electri-q properly, are there any "tweaks" or something needed to be done so it will work on win  7? because now it's only finishing the installation, and nothing happens, everything in the Eectri-q's folder is the manual and the removal option

from personal experience the senns' hd25's are amazing playing tool  

I really don't get this folding mechanism. looks like they flipped the pads somehow. It looks wrong, because these pads are anchored to the headband with bolts   got it now, dammit i feel stupid

great reply, thank you.

While reading some threads, I always noticed one detail i couldn't figure out - speed. I really don't get the whole "these headphones are fast" etc. hearing some 200$ range phones (own hd25, heard grado rs255, beyer dt660&770) I could notice the substantial differences in sound signature...

thats actually a really nice idea tho i prefer not to build a tube amp (but dac is optional) because i have never done it before, building an amp is a big project and I lack electronic skills...

ok, so i want to get things together before I'm getting my paycheck and spending it on building a rig will the fostex do well with udac2 + Schiit vallhalla (connected to my computer playing Flac music files)? BTW sorry for being so annoying, but I live in Israel, which means every thing I'm...

wow this threat is progressing fast no, I'm not intrested in a portable amp, I alredy got a senns hd25 for walking and going out. If you have some other suggestions for full size amps within this price range i would really like to hear them also, forgot to ask about the Valhalla Vs Lyr

Will the Schiit Lyr/Asgard work well with the thunderpants? who will work better? any other suggestions in the 350~400$ price range? feeling really stupid asking all those questions before even buying the fostex t50rp, but im planning my rig for the next few years so...

So I'm going on a vacation to Amsterdam in a month and a half and i"m wondering if there is a store selling these for a normal price (guess 40~50 euros) there shipping these to Israel through amazon or B&H is a pain because of the high shipping rates and taxes, about 35$ for shipment and 20$...

senns hd25 theyre awesome also no sound leaking but, sound stage is **** on those, its not a sound wall but its small...

Quote: that would be a problem because of the fact I'm living in Israel... I don't believe that there are more than only few thunderpants in here if there are any at all. also I couldn't find anything in the Israely headphone websites about the Fostex T50rp, not to mention the...

Quote: I really like the bass on my senn's hd25 tho I wouldn't care for something with less impact as long as it is noticeable i don't favor a boom boom bass sound anyhow, not for rock, metal or any other musical genre

so I need to ask a little question (or a big one?) about these before I even think of getting thunderpants   are the thunderpants any good for Metal/rock music?

sennheiser hd25II? bass is tight, and with the right eq I think  you will find those can's bass sufficiant no sound leakage, at all, from what I can tell

Quote: what were you using to get this fine finish on those?    

I would really like doing a thunderpants project of my own, but first I must do a little research heard that the sony qualia sa5k ear pads would fit the thunderpants, the only question is where can i buy them at? And are there any drafts or measurements about the inner and outer side of the...

Quote: it's not like the hd25 cable is short, it is something like 1.5 meters. anyway, sound leaking wise, senns are superb, I really like my music loud and people say no sound is leaking out of the cans.  

Quote: green headphone jack in my computer is pure crap, for the fact that as I plug the headphone a loud hiss appears in the right can (which also happens with my akg's so its not the headphones) so solutions are usb dac, or a new sound card, both cost the same (round 100$ which is my...

Quote: second question was about the udac VS udac2, which I believe I'll buy in order to hear music straight from my desktop computer    

Today I got my new HD25 II, and I have some questions regarding them. 1) Will the SQ on the HPs benefit from the presence of dac/amp? 2) What are the differences between the udac and the udac2? does the udac 2 worth the extra charge? (In my country it is a 50$ of difference between the udac...
