Hey team, My Sennheiser HD-590s recently broke, and I'm considering getting a new pair of headphones. If I decide to go with a pair of Sennheisers again, and if the choice were only between the HD-590 and the HD-595, which one should I go with? Is there a big sound difference between the two...

For school I have to design and build a device that is meant to address a safety issue. My idea is to make a device which measures the sound level coming out of a set of headphones and then alerts the user if the sound is too loud and potentially damaging to a person's ears. This could...

I think I may have damaged my beloved HD-590 headphones, but I'm not certain. I had used them with a guitar amp for the first time (not a great amp either), and now when I play music with them, it seems like the music is a lot softer. Am I just imagining this, or is it possible the amp damaged...

When using an amplifier, if I turn the source volume up all the way and use the amplifier volume as the volume control, would that give the best sound? or is it better to keep the source volume low?

I have a quick question about my HD590s. I read that the cord can be replaced...how is it removed? Is it just pulled out? Or just screwed out? Also, I see on the sennheiser site taht you can buy replacement ear cusions with discs. What are the discs? are they the flat cloth covering over the...

I'm thinking about getting a new computer, because my laptop is just...bad. I was wondering, how does the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz compare to the Audigy2? Can they both drive a pair of HD590s equally well? Do they both have good bass?

I know that all of you say that bad source=bad output, and that sound cards can't drive a pair of headphones (my HD590) without an amp. I have an Inspiron 3800, and i'm looking at the sound card specs. Apparently, it has an ESS Maestro 3i, which has a 16 bit (analog to digital and digital to...

I have a WOW thing for my game system, and I discovered that when I plug in the headphone jack of my hd590's, there is a loud popping sound in the headphones. I found out that if I let the wow thing stay on for about 10 seconds before plugging in the headphones, there isn't a very loud pop. My...

I've had my HD590s for about two weeks now, and I love these things. I run them directly from the headphone port on my laptop, and I'm wondering, what's the advantage of a headphone amp? These things can get way louder than the safe volume I have them set at...are the outputs on desktop pc sound...

After reading lots of reviews, I think that I might get the Sennheiser HD590. I just want to make sure...will these things sound great without an amp? Or is it worth it to buy an amp and get different headphones?

Can someone tell me the names of places which would let me try out headphones? Near the Maryland area, would like to hear Sennheiser, Grados, AKG, Beyerdynamic, Sony, Philips...

I noticed that the price of headphone amps are pretty high...and I was wondering which of the following would be best without a a seperate amp, and used with a laptop: Grado 125 Grado 225 Beyerdynamic DT 831 Beyerdynamic DT 250-80 Sennheiser 580 AKG 501 I'm looking for sound good for...

I posted something like this in the headwize forums, but didn't get too much of a response, and would like to see what you all suggest at this site. I need to get a nice new pair of headphones, with the max price somewhere around the $150 range. I currently own a cheap pair of Sony MDR-60...
