I'm thinking about getting a set of shure earbuds to replace the apple earbuds but I am worried that I still won't be happy with the sound making me think I might need a portable headphone amp as well. I pretty much do all of my mp3 listening through my computer nforce2 audio a creek obh 11...

Do the 650's have the same cable intermittancy problems of the 580's and the 600's?

Ok out of the box these sound exactly like what you would expect 20 dollar headphones to sound like, muddy and bassy and quite veiled. However after i had turned the bass down and the treble up (in the sound control panel) a very pleasant sound signature was revealed! The build quality is pretty...

I am looking to replace all of my hometheater speakers for speakers that sound more like sennheiser hd580/600 headphones. I currently have klipsch RF3 speakers and I am finding them too forward now. It needs to be a bookshelf speaker and under 400 US I guess I should post this in a speaker...

Does a homemade amp remove any and all of the noise from whatever source is inputted to it? My creek obh-11 which I connect to my computer (and to a cd player) does this. Will a homemade amp off battery power do the same thing?

I am going to be selling my headphone amp and headphones soon to pay for a new wakeboard that I just bought. I have sony mdr v600's as well which I use for playing games etc but they are extremely uncomfortable compared to my HD580's. Recommend me something that is cheap and comfortable. I...

I noticed that on the OEM version it doesn't have the gold plated jacks, will this provide any audible difference. I would imagine not as the material of the jacks probably isn't the weak link when using a pc as the source

http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...?threadid=3400 I have been thinking of getting new headphones for a while as think these hd580's are a tad too laid back for my tastes. After reading the above review I think that the 501's are a good candidate, but I am a bit worried about the bass...

I originally ordered it way back in april, but after 10 days when it hadn't come I called sennheiser canada only to find out that the person I talked to on the phone forgot to write down what item I wanted! I thought I would give the cable a long time to come to before I called again in case...

When you use a stereo cable to L/R rca into your headphone amp is there any noise or static or anything? Im only asking because when I went from my computers soundcard into an old pioneer receiver there was some static on the output from the soundcard but none really from the cd player. Can...

what to use to switch between headphones? just a regular audioswitcher or is there one designed for headphones?

It appears as though marantz recievers like the 2250 and the 1060 are highly regarding vintage recievers, how would the sound quality of something like these compare to a similarly priced meta42?

Ok i have the MDR v600s and the treble is too boosted on them, i have the HD 580s and I am quite unimpressed with the build quality so once I get them fixed I am selling them. What else is left in headphones that have EXCELLENT comfort, good build quality and nice sound?

It is a SB live 5.1 and when i turn up the sound there is a static type distortion noise, this has just started happening in the last couple of days so I was wondering if perhaps there is some setting which might be causing this?

after my headphone wires giving out after only 8 months, and the buzzing that I occasionally heard in the left ear of my sennheiser HD 580s I have to say that sennheiser can do A LOT better job in the quality department. For the price the headphones cost I would expect at least 5 years out of...

As you may have read in another thread the wire on my HD580s is broken so I have been relegated to using my sony mdr v600s. Admittedly the sonys are no comparison to the sennheisers but I just listened to Donny Hathaway - For All We Know on the sonys and it sounds AMAZING. Can anybody figure...

there is something wrong the connection to the right ear on my sennheiser HD580. I know the connection problem is something to do with the wire because when I switched the wires around the problem was not in the left earpiece. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the wire on inspection...

I have HD580s and a SB live 5.1 soundcard, and before you mention it, yes I have tried the audigy soundcards and I found the soundquality improvement to be very minimal. I find the soundquality listening through my computer to be very good even though I am just listening to mp3s. I upgraded...

I started out with Sony MDR V600s and over a month ago I changed them to Sennheiser HD580s and while I have been very happy to get away from the exagerrated treble of the sonys I feel I need more impact. My source is a computer with an audigy soundcard. The 580s sound quite good at 3/4 volume...

I just happened to play a frequency sweep to see what frequency my headphones could extend to and I noticed a pronounced vibration in the left earpiece which sounds like something in broken in there. I bought these headphones off a person on ebay, what should I do about this? Aaron Wilson

I would like to get an amp for my HD580s but looking at the prices for what you get they seem to be overpriced. Paying over 100 bucks for something that runs on batteries in not my idea of fun. What cheap/good amp do you recommend that does not run on batteries?

I was in goodguys listening to fones and the 580s were as good as they had. I brought my Sony MDR V600s for comparison and cried all the way home . The price they quoted was $275 which seemed like a real rip off. I was glad to see that I could get the HD600s for $250 online. So do you guys...
