Bump. This is a serious question :(

So I read in another thread   Quote:   I have a Creative Sound Blaster Z and am wondering if the Audio Engine D1 would be a noticeable upgrade from them, using HD598s. Can the two be used together? What are the benefits of that over using USB, besides the Surround Sound features? How is...

Edited first post to answer your questions :)

Hi! I've just gotten paid and am looking for an upgrade to my audio. I'm currently using HD598s alongside a Creative Soundblaster Z sound card.   What would be a nice new pair of cans, as well as an amp & dac, which would sound much better than what I currently have for less than $800? I'm...

Beats are horrible in terms of sound quality. Brother has one... I also only recently purchased these headphones (less than a month ago), and I do love my headphones as with my previous EQ settings, they were nearly perfect. I'm unable to get DT990s, so I'll have to make do with my current HD598s.

Yeah, I know this forum has a lot of very polite people which is very inviting. However by doing this on the EQ, everything sounds the same EXCEPT the bass is horrible and light. It feels so bad and I feel so unfulfilled, because it doesn't shake the headphones and you can't feel it whereas...

Hmm.. I see. So it can cause damage. I'm trying to do it, but the bass is utter crap.. I don't even know if it even is bass anymore. It's weird, it sounds like a pelvis hitting someone's bottom, that light slapping sound (seriously). If you know what I mean.     Am I doing it right?

Alright, so what is clipping and is it damaging to my headphones, or does it just change the way my headphones sound? Because at this current time, I love the way they sound.

Hi... So I don't know much about audio but looking at people talking about using their equalizers they seem to all use it to decrease the decibels of everything and say that "even -7 is too loud". I have HD598s, and I pushed the bass up to the highest the sliders would go (24db) and it sounds...

If the HD 598s sound exactly the same as my HD449s then I'm pretty sure that I want to save my money and stay away from anything else below the 598s...   Maybe it'll sound different after a year of use or something, my HD449s didn't sound any good when I first got them so I always used my...

Sounds EXACTLY the same. crap investment, definitely not worth the $300 I paid. The HD 449s ($100) sound exactly the same.

1) Sennheiser HD 449 2) Sennheiser HD 598 Reason being is that the 449s sound exactly the same as the 598s, while being over $160 cheaper. The 598s are just more comfortable to wear, that's about it.

I know they're good or I wouldn't have ordered them... But does anybody know how much better than are in comparison to my current HD449s?

Edit: Accidental double post, sorry.

Hi guys, I currently have a pair of HD449s and was wondering how much better HD598s would sound. I have already ordered them and was wondering what the difference would be in quality and bass would be compared to what I currently have(I've read from pretty much every single person on the...

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question as it's a headphones forum but I really need help and would like unbiased answers. I have this question posted on Overclock.net but haven't received any answers and this is probably a better forum overall for my question as it's...
