Just got my DT770/250's in the mail today! Right off the bat, i was a bit dissapointed. I hooked them up to my PC Tower just for kicks and listened to some music and did comparisons between it and the Sennheiser HD595's. Now, the DT770's sound stage was flat, eveything felt subduedand there...

Thanks for all of the help you guys! I ended up pulling the trigger and getting the DT770/'250' Brand new off eBay. The majority of sellers had it close to $300 + shipping but i managed to get it for $225. The seller is legit, at least based on his overall near perfect seller score and amount...

Quote: Again, thanks for the info. ;) How do the DT770 '250hm's stack up against the SRH940's? It's really just the $80 difference that's making me lean towards the DT770 250hm's. But in the long run i might regret not spending the extra cash and going for more a quality set of cans like...

I can get the DT770/'80ohms' for $150, or there's the 250hz version going for $220 including shipping. Still confused on the mixed reviews about the sound leaking, some state that it's incredibly minimal while others are saying the complete opposite.... If i had to, i'd opt for the K550's but...

I've read mixed opinions on the DT770's in regards to the sound leakage. In terms of sound how would you rank the 3 you mentioned? I was set on getting the DT770's but a few reviews noted that they do in fact leak a quite bit of sound to the point where you can hear in the next room.

As of now, I own a pair of Sennheiser HD595's which i absolutely Adore. The sound that they produce is absolutely amazing. BUT i no longer have the desire to use them for gaming(Total NintenFreak here hehe) because of the ridiculous amount of sound leakage which isn't exactly ideal considering...

Well, I'm going to test out my HD380's on my 7.1 Receiver in the mean time to see if they actually crackle as well, and of course when i get my HD595's in the mail. As for there being any difference after cleaning out the HD555's, naddah. :p maybe the shredded upper part of the cord has...

Quote:Oj Sounds good, i just fear that i may get a faulty/refurbished pair. If worst comes to worst if that's even the case which i doubt, i'll just send it back. I already just wasted $220 + $20 from the UPS mail dudskie on a pair of Sennheiser HD380's. Dissapointing all around...

Quote:   Quote: Well I cracked them open and to my suprise there actually was a bit of dirt and hair and the like going on. So I cleaned them out, put it all back together and fired up a bass heavy movie like the horrible A Nightmare on Elm Street 'Remake'(The original...

Quote: I've got a Sony 7.1 Receiver, and I'm feeding it HDMI through my PS3 for Audio. Yet whenever I watch a Bluray and when it gets to those Boomy Bassy parts my HD555's start to crackle to the point where i have to turn from something like 64 to 43, it's pretty **** annoying. I...

About to pull the trigger on either the HD555's or HD595's.   I can get the 'HD555's' for $150 CDN Including Shipping....   Or I can get the HD595's for $190 CDN including Shipping PLUS with a Sennheiser Headphone Stand/Holder.   I know how fantastic the HD555's already sound, since...

Scew the Sennheiser HD380's and screw Closed designed headphones in general.lol I'm going back to Open ....Besides i did a bit of sound leakage tesiting from my HD555's and you can't hear anything in the room next to mine when the volume is amped up loud to my liking. You can only hear it...

How do the D2000's 'closed' compare to the HD598's in general? Or even the HD555's for that matter? Anyways, wicked mod! But making the D2000's open defeats the purpose of having next to no sound leakage, well it would for me anyways. :p   But yup, I need a pair of closed headphones that...

Quote: If my HD555's plastic weren't cracked to oblivion i wouldn't even bother thinking about upgrading to the HD595's...That, and the cable(which is replacable) is also shredded. I've had those babies for almost 5 years now...The sides of the plastic are now wrapped in tape to hold...

Do the 595's crackle 'bass-wise' when you're rocking at high volumes through your amp? That's one of the problems I've always had with my HD555's for certain movies, Bluray especially! Also wouldn't modding the 555's by taking out the foam make the cans leak even more sound from the outisde?  

Can somebody throw down a closed pair of cans that match(Or even suprass it as that would be a bonus) the quality of the HD555's audio wise while leaking hardly any sound?   Somebody mentioned that the Denon 2000's actually do leak quite a bit of sound, so that defeats the purpose of having...

Those closed cans you mentioned go for around $550 - $600 brand new CAN off eBay. ;p I'd love to have a pair of those....I'm sure they easily eclipse the cans you mentioned. But the Denon 2000 seems to be more in my price range. I was too stuck in Senheiser land to actually even consider...

And this is justtt great. I should of read the returning policy a bit more carefully. Looks like i can't return the HD380's since they'll only refund purchases that have been damaged or if it's flat out the wrong item all together. What a sweet waste of $220(plus shipping of course.lol) I could...

Quote: I live in Canada, and I'm guessing BB.com wouldn't ship here. But that's where BB.ca comes in but they don't seem to have the Denon D2000's for sale. As for the D2000, I'm guessing they're closed design. Somebody was saying they offer more of an open quality-like sound to them...

And I'm really dissapointed.....I've been comparing them with my HD555's for the past 2 hours now and it really makes me appreciate how great the HD555's truly are. Now here's what I love about the HD380's....The Sound leakage is next to nothing when you have them fit tight(that's how they are...

  Looky at what i found on eBay hehe. Looks like my Wireless Optical 'only' Astro MixAmp problem is solved....Hopefully that is. This little baby is an RCA to Optical adapter which I'm guessing would work with the Wireless Astro giving you an RCA quality connection and letting you get DPLII...

eek! Receiver it is,which I'm sticking with. lol  i don't think i could deal with the inferior 'less-Clear' Audio from the wired Astro MixAmp even while getting Simulated Surround Sound. That's the deal breaker for me folks! :p BUT, it seems like the wireless MixAmp offers a much higher...

Quote:   I'm pretty sure the Wii in general does a simulated 5.1 DPL II. But doesn't the Wired Astro only do DPLII'X' instead which would convert 5 channels to 6 or 7? eek! :p Anyways, i wouldn't be using this for my PS3/Bluray/DVD or music just the Wii and that's that, so no need...

Well how is the audio performance when compared to lets say a solid 7.1 receiver while using headphones which is what I'm currently using. If there's any degrade in audio quality i'll most likely pass. And the surround sound for the headphones isn't that good huh? But you said you were only...

It seems that the latest and wireless Astro MixAmp '5.8' doesn't support an RCA connection which is what I need for surround sound headphone gaming for the Wii since the Wii is compatible with Optical or HDMI. The older None-wireless Astro mix Amp does in fact support RCA but i can't seem to...
