I'm burning in my Senn HD238s and so far am playing 10+ loud songs on Youtube at the same time to help with the burn in process. It seems to be working pretty well, because a quick listen at the resulting mess is very bassy, with different pitches across the board, with music that can be...

I like love my new Sennheiser HD238 I got for $30 from Amazon. A quick search of the headphones on Head-Fi keeps mentioning the Asteroid mod, where the inner foam (black) is taken out to change the sound. Does anybody know how this affects the 238's

I've read the Sennheiser HD238: Brief Review and Modding   and decided to mod my Sennheiser HD 238 also. I'm not afraid to do the modding myself,  the only problem is that I don't know what are  the materials  mentioned in the review above or where to find them : Soft Felt (Blue), Medium...

Got a set of hd238 which sound damn nice, but one thing I noticed recently (only when I plug it into my Onkyo reciever) is when that deep sexy bass hits hard the vocals get distorted, kinda sound like dude is singing with a fan in front of his face.  Whats that all about?  Do I just gotta break...

I have a pair of Sennheiser 238's that I love, and would now like to take my listening to a new level. Here are some details:    I listen to a lot of bass heavy music (house, trance) as well as lots of acoustic/alt rock. I am very satisfied with the level of bass on my HD238's (a little...

Hello there.   I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD-228's, and they have served me well, especially being modded, and for the fact that I found them in store for $69.99; $30 less. Unfortunately they broke recently (swivel piece), and I'm going to get them repaired (hopefully Sennheiser...

By the way the HD-238 is fine for jogging.  The problem is the longer I run the more times in the middle of a song it will make a two -second bubbling sound and off to the next song.   What's that about?

Hi, i would like to know if anybody have compared both Sennheiser models. I'm interested specially on the bass side. Watching the frequency response of each model seems like the HD 238 has more bass than the 438 but maybe the bass on the 438 (being a closed cans) is  punchier. What do you think...

EDIT: Just dawned on me that there's a separate forum for this. Doh! If a mod could kindly move this for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.   I'm looking into getting a set of portable headphones--something to compliment my stationary DT880 rig. I'm looking for sort of the antithesis, which...

Hey guys! Just recently, I was in the market for a portable headphone so decided to try out the Sennheiser HD238 which I was able to get brand new for $75. Anyways, straight to the acoustics review: My initial impressions of the headphone was that it was terrible. Simply terrible. The...

Hi Head-fiers,   I would like your to ask for your suggestions. I'm researching for an amp that will best drive my newly bought HD 238. I fully broke them in and I can say that they are still lacking bass impact and soundstage. But, on the other hand, I find the mids crispier and the highs...

I bought a set of Sennheiser HD 238s over a year ago.  I really liked them a lot.  Unfortunately, while using them on a plane I accidently bent the plug and it broke.  I figured I could replace it with a plug from Radioshack and a soldering iron.  I have tried a couple times now and have had no...
