Pretty please? All I need to know is if it's safe to leave the wire inside the left earphone dangling in there and possibly making contact with the driver. Is there risk of the wire melting, does the driver heat up during normal use...? I admit, this is a very nooby question...

I just did this mod today... Everything went well, except I'm concerned about one thing. In the video by Skikarl where he details how to do the mod, the wire that's inside the left earphone, that connects the main cable outside, to the driver, in his video was taped to the inner grill, I...

Thanks I'll keep that in mind when buying my next pair of headphones (it's either these or some Sennheisers).

If you don't mind me asking, how did things turn out with the AKG K450s? I'm planning on buying a pair, but I've only heard mixed opinions, and not much on burn-in. And I'm curious as to whether they improve with burn-in. Thanks.

I will contact them, and I'm hoping it will be possible for me to return the headphones. There's also the issue of the very tinny sound that I've noticed, and I'm really not so sure burn-in will help much. Thanks for describing the way these are typically sealed, this info should come in...

Thanks paaj I agree that there should have been signs that they were new, some kind of seal somewhere. So you're probably right that I got a returned product. All the evidence points in that direction. Thing is, I don't know how I could return them myself, they don't cite a return policy...

A local (romanian) online store that's supposedly run by an authorized Sennheiser dealer.

Hi, First of all, I'm new here, so I hope I'm posting this in the right subforum I ordered a pair of Senns online, and just got them today. After a few hours of listening, they're kind of a disappointment. Coming from mostly (cheaper) IEMs, they sound pretty tinny, and I'm not referring...
