Hi,    Im relatively new to audiophile-ness, as you can probably tell from my current choice of headphones. Prior to these, I've had only $10 Sony over the ear earbuds.   That being said, I absolutely love my 202s. They're pretty great but I'm getting to the point where I'm looking for...

I bought HD558 from local hi-fi shop about a year and five months ago.  I have taken good care with them since I love their sound quality and heard about their poor build quality before but never expected to see it myself.  It was started when the Sennheiser logo in both left and right side...

Hello all,   I've recently purchased a pair of Sennheiser HD 558s and I've found a slight hissing noise with the on-board audio (ALC892) on my MSI P67-GD55 mobo and it's a little annoying. I've read that for the 558s you need a good source and the on board audio probably doesn't quite cut...

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...

Hi everyone.    Currently I have the Sennheiser HD 558 headphones (foam modded). I love these headphones a lot, great sound and excellent sound-stage. However, I am looking to upgrade headphones and I am looking for similar qualities that exist with the 558's. Such as sound-stage. Closed or...

My HD558 is almost here, and I don't have any headphone Amp for it. The DAC will be my X-Fi Titanium HD, but the Headphone Out has a pretty high impedance, not adequate for the HD558 50Ohms headphone.   I almost bought an O2 headphone Amp, but it didn't fit my needs, I don't want...

Hey guys   My Sennheiser HD558 arrived a couple of days ago, and I'm loving it so far. Really good sound, not fatiguing at all, something that made me sell my previous Gamer Headphone ( I know, very stupid ) but I'm noticing some High Treble Distortion. It's connected to the Headphone Output...
