Greets HeadFi-ers   I have an old pair of HD555s and they've been great for my usage and I've done the 595 mod on them as well. But as time has progressed and my lifestyle changed a bit, so now I find them to leak too much sound for my preference. I don't want everyone to be able to hear...

Hey, I've lurking for a short time, trying to choose my first closed headphones.   Current and past headphones: I currently own pretty cheap Creative in-earbuds and I owned Sennheiser H555 (modded). I quite liked the 555 but since they were open I couldn't use them as often as I would have...

My budget is about 400 euros (I live in France), and I listen a lot to stuff like Bon Iver and M83, classical music, some rap. I like a lot of genres really, so I want the best pair I can get with the best all around sound.   I have to be honest and say that I was close to buying the beats...

Hi all! I tried searching for info about it but couldn't find anything so I registered and created this thread. :) I bought used HD 555 and noticed that bass in the right ear is much stronger than in the left ear and the overall volume is a little bit higher in the right ear. What may be...

Its down to these two. Im looking for a set of headphones that I can wear comfortably for hours on end while studying. I listen to a very diverse mix of music. Folk, Classical, Jazz, Rock, Rap, Hip-hop, literally EVERYTHING. I know that the Sony's have some extra bass in them (or so I have read)...

Was just kind of browsing around the forums.  Saw a lot of headphones, nothing really about headsets.  I'm looking for a headset that will deliver some great sounding bass as well as being able to hear people clearly (and they can hear me clearly).  I'm currently using the Razer Carcharias...

Right now, I have a pair of Sennheiser PC350's, that came with the Asus Xonar Xense sound card. The mic on it has died (only thing I can think of, is from rolling over the cord with my chair so often), so I've just grabbed a desktop mic. With that being done, I'm looking at getting just a pair...

Just like the title says. Im not partial to any brands or fit so anything goes.My spending limit is 300$.

I've really been eyeballing the Ultrasone Pro900. Until I read a review that the mids were lacking. So what i'd prefer is superior bass like the Ultrasone Pro900 have or close. But if i had to choose something that lacked, i'd choose highs to lack over mids. So.. Bass - like Ultrasones PRO900...

I sold my Denon D2000 a while back and I kinda regret doing so. Sadly they stopped making them now. Reason I did was because it wasn't a drastic upgrade in sound quality from the HD 555 as I was expecting. Bass was legendary on the D2000 though.   I never could stand the Audio technica ATH...

Hey guys, It's that thread again... I hope someone can give me some advice on these headphones. I wanted to upgrade from some random broken Sony headphones I've been using for a while, and I read around to see what fit my needs the best and came upon these 3 models. Basically, I mainly use...

Hi everyone, I was wondering where I could find a case big enough to store a pair of Sennheiser HD 555's. Thanks!

I finally worked up the nerve to try the foam mod on these after owning them for 4 years. I don't think I broke anything, the headphones still work fine but I ran into one problem. When I was trying to replace the screen on the corded side, I noticed it was having trouble sitting in place...

I'm intrested in buying an open aire sennheiser model (555, 558 or the EH350). My main uses are portable ones - working out or the train.    My question is - how noisy do they get? is the open aire feature that bad for my surrounding..? will people hate me? :)   Thanks, nicky

Okay guys, so recently I bought myself the Sennheiser HD518 for listening purposes, and my dad was really confused, as to why I would buy "expensive" cans. He has a pair of Bose QC15, that he uses exclusively for noise cancellation on his weekly airplane trips. I wanted to prove to him that I...

I'm looking to upgrade from my HD 555s to a ~$350 set with a ~$100 amp , so my total budget is $450.   I listen to trance/edm almost exclusively so after reading through past threads I'm leaning towards the 900s, but I wanted to get some more opinions before I pull the trigger.    - I...

Ok, I have a pair of HD280 Pros that have been modified with a Bluetak mod (and further I've put capacitors in them to act as simple first order high-pass filters to reduce that ugly bass hump to a slightly more reasonable level.) Rather than Bluetak since I couldn't find it, I'm using "Loctite"...

Just wanted to point out a not very well known site that i think is great for buying headphones. They have very good prices, especially on the refurbished phones. Refurbs are essentially new, but much cheaper. I got my HD428's for $24 and love them.   No, I'm not affiliated with them, I just...

Hey,   Priority is to improve my gameplay in multiplayer FPS, meaning I want to hear very clear footsteps, how close or far are from me, etc. However I have been told that AD700 is king for that BUT it's bas anemic, which I'm not sure if I should get this for FPS only and whenever I watch a...

I'm looking for a pair of headphones, and I'm not quite sure what to buy. I had a pair of JVC HA-RX 900s before, but the joints in both sides wore out and broke due to constant use. I am now looking to upgrade to something with a bit more quality. They will be mainly for listening to music and...

Hello.   I am looking at buying a new pair of headphones / headset. My G35 is getting a bit old and uncomfortable, and the pleather has started to fall apart.   I have been getting a lot of suggestions, HD 555, HD 558, SS Siberia v2, Astro A40, Razer Megalodon etc. Every headset so far...

Sorry if this is the wrong section, I'm BRAND new here!   Alright, so I've had the Sennheiser HD 555's for about a year now, and I usually have them on for multiple hours at a time. What I'm here for is because everyone compliments them because of their comfortableness, but it's really just...

I picked up a pair of 558's last weekend and absolutely love them and I don't even have them amped yet. I have burned them in for about 25-30 hours now and they are sounding better now but the bass with certain genres of music is only good at higher volume, I am tempted to remove the foam...

Hello.   I'm the proud owner of a Sennheiser HD555 which has served me well for movies, music, and games. But I'm off to college in the fall and as much as I love my HD555, its open cans won't serve me in a noisy dorm or a quiet library. So I need a new closed pair to take with me. I'm not...

Been lurking for awhile and I've been wondering which would be a better contender for FPS games that require excellent sound positioning to easily locate positions. My main budget is 50 dollars and under I've heard these headphones are real nice for the price, but are there any others that would...
