    Revisiting the HD595...

    I have owned a pair of HD595's along with various other high end open circumaural headphones for the last year or two and up until today I never was able to get anything close to high end sound from the 595's. Then I tried fiddling around with the headband adjustment, extending the headband...

    HD555 or HD595?

    Greetings all. New to the forum and actual "audiophile"-isem. I know what I enjoy, and maybe I put too much emphasis on brand/looks of equipment. After doing a bit of looking around, I've decided to get the NuForce Icon for it's DAC capabilities. But that's where my direction goes a stray. I...

    hd555/hd595

    Heeello people at head-fi! This the perfect place to discust about headphones. My first question is: 1. What is the significant difference between HD555 and HD595? 2. Does HD 595 worth more than Hd555 for the price? 3. Does the sound reflecter in the HD555 create a surround sound-like...

    So I've been researching extensively for the last two weeks (including tons of anonymous browsing of these forums), but I couldn't find a definite answer to a very important comparison I need to make between these two sets of headphones.   I'm not exactly a hardcore audiophile, though I can...

    Koss DJ100 vs AKG K240 vs HD595

    I was doing a portable headphone shootout, so while my bed was covered with headphones and wires, I decided to pull out a few more pairs to compare.  I used a Macbook Pro connected to a udac and then to an Audio-gd Sparrow.  However, I believe that the only headphone that benefits from an amp...

    Sa1000 vs. SR80

    Looking at spending about $100 dollars for some portable headphones. So unamped, but I do have an amp at home. Which do you think would be better between the SA1000 and the SR80? I own HD555's, also. I guess I'm looking for something that isn't too lacking in the bass department, and hopefully...

    I know the AKG 701/702 and the Sennheiser HD 800, HD 650, HD 600, HD 598 are suppose to be very comfortable, but is there a stand out?

    JVC HA-RX700 Quick First Impressions

    So I got these from a fellow Head-Fi member and I have to say they are very nice beginner audiophile headphones.  They are very similar to the Sennheiser HD-555 in their bass and soundstage.  With the recable of 28 gauge silver teflon wire that I did, I think it brings out the highs a little...

    Not that impressed with Sennheiser HD-555 ( modded ) - could they need a amp perhaps ?

    I recently purchased a pair of Senn HD-555. They were in absolute mint condition, haven't been used much - also they have had the "595 mod" done by the previous owner as I have opened them both and checked.   I am not very pleased with the overall sound. I am no audio geek and my sound...

    Your first eargasm...

    I just got a pair of Grado SR225is. Absolutely fantastic. But the proverbial hit the fan in my previously naive mind when I listened to Philip Glass' Koyaanisqatsi (sp?) soundtrack. The opening ominous bass line blew my mind, then being able to hear almost every single person singing...

    Sidegrade to the HD555 suggestions

    I actually got these things less than two weeks ago. I got a feel for a few different headphones when I was doing my research. I got the HD555 for gaming initially with music in mind as a secondary purpose. For games, I find these to be perfect for my liking. As far as music goes, I like them...

    [Suggestions] Looking for new open-back headphones...

    Replacing my HD555's, help appreciated.

    Hello, as the title suggests, I'm on a hunt for a new pair of headphones. The right channel driver on my HD555's has broken. There's buzzing at the low-mids at fairly low volume. Now, the only decent pair of headphones I've ever heard are these 555's (with the 595-esque mod). I have enjoyed...

    How to make IEM more comfortable?

    I have always tried to stay clear of IEMs because they hurt my ears after a few hours.  I stick with my full sized to game and watch movies and IEM to listen to music.  I was recommended to use Foam Tips to help, but those actually make it worse.  Is there anyway to make it not hurt the inner...
