ok, i should look for 280... -30dB isolation - very impressive.. and what is the difference between 280 and 280pro? does it worth extra money? which of them suits best for portable source?

hi, head-fi guys! please, help me pick some new senn cans.. my wishes: 1) good "closeness" (greater isolation -> better) VERY IMPORTANT 2) good sound without imperative amplifier! (powered enough only by mp3-player, like iRiver or iPod) VERY IMPORTANT 3) comfort, sufficient for long time...

Seems to me that I'm not sane - borrowed extra money and got that 595!

Yesterday went to the store going to take 555 but they run out of stock... I listened to 595 and it was great - comfy, clear mids... the shopkeeper said that 595 much-much better than 555, that in case of sennheiser every coin adds to the sound and 555 is from another "sound category" - is he...

m_memmory, what does it mean "I wonder what they'll sound like when they're burnt in"? phones sounds differ from time to time?

Vermicelli Orchestra - Byzantium St. Petersburg collective. Its hard to explain the type of music they play... some call them "Ethnic-Neo-Barocco" And I say it's the only rock-band that play Accordeon and flute instead of guitars, and they drive! Try listen to a demo-piece of "Dancing...

Thank you, guys. I just read here a bit about 555's and i'll take them. Think it's my choise. 595's would be nice, i suppose, but they are too expensive to me (near double price). I'm not sure that they have better price/p ratio.

I want to take some new phones from our local store, but they have only Senns (almost all models). Here is the drirect link to the catalogue (in russian, but with photos). http://classa.ru/main.php?cat=45,3 I'm tight on budget so 3000 pyb (100$) is a cap. From what I read my ideal would be Grado...

Does the RS1 sounds much better than the RS2? After reading all this stuff about RS1 I decided to purchase it, but I have failed to get RS1's in the stores (there are no ones), and I found only RS2's. Are they basically the same (like Sennheiser's HD-580 & HD-600)? OK, if we take the difference...

If you say your Etys so clean, can you understand words spoken in the end of Drowse song (Queen/Jazz Album-1978)? They are VERY faint, but clearly they speak something... I only hear smth about Jimi Hendrix.
