Hey All,    Have these headphones and love them, only issue is that the headphone cord that comes with it is way too long for my liking.     Anyone know where I can find a SLIM 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, 3-4ft that will have one end that will fit in the jack on the headphones themselves?  ...

how is the bass on the 595's? I guess if possible, compared to the a500's? since thats all i really have to compare

These will be unamped, fyi...

Just built a new gaming rig, and I had a pair of ATH-A500's I had from a while ago and didnt really use all that much. I just picked up a pair of ATH-AD700 (read they are awesome for gaming) but they sounded to flat to me...I like the bass of the ATH-A500's better. The cans will be used for...

just got my pk3's from fang at head-direct today, and i am absolutely blown away by them. I am by no means an audiophile, but i cant believe the sound from these things. My music on my ipod (192kbps vbr lame encoded) seems like im listening to the songs for the first time. The soundstage on...

i too was one of those people who wore j-corded buds the wrong way, in the front like you would a y-corded set of buds...i will be wearing them correctly this time lol

well i went ahead and ordered the pk3's from head-direct, i cant wait to get them! thanks for all the info guys

the pk3's are that good huh? Guess I might have to get them...no use dismissing them if i havent even tried them

just pm'd Nankai about if the pk3's can be ordered with a y cord...*crosses fingers*

thanks everyone for the detailed responses... i will look into getting the pk3's with the y cord from head-direct, because now that i know what a j cord is, id like to stay away if i can (owned a previous set of buds with it and couldnt stand it)

ipod nano/ipod classic use, i listen to metal and rock, and i cant use the in ear types, only looking for buds I narrowed it down to these three: senn mx500 yuin pk3 - j cord, what does that mean? Beyerdynamic DTX10 what do you think?

anyone?

Hey guys, im in the market for a set of yuin pk3's because of my budget and the great reviews on them, and noticed on head-direct that they are j cord. In my browsing of this site before joining, it seems j cord styles arent liked? What exactly is a j cord? i know what your standard y cord...

id also like to know the same thing...i recently sold my grado sr60's because i couldnt hear anything on them when used on my commute to/from NYC each day on the subway

Hey guys, after lurking for a while, I decided to join. I have read about how great the Yuin PK2 buds are, and im about to order a set from head-direct, however, the cord is 6 feet long?? Is there any way to have it shortened? 6feet is way too long, im looking for earbuds not a jumprope. thanks...
