FIRST OF ALL: I'm no Audiophile expert  I bought the 598 in eBay on the JR Store for 170$ msrp i believe 340$ I have used these cans for 2 days now, both for inside and outside (yes outside). I must say the cable is pretty long but the 10 foot cable was good for me to rest on my couch and...

Hi! I've been looking into some new headphones and I came across this site :) I need some new cans :P Anyways, I currently own the Beats Studio with I do not like at all. Now I realize I could have got some really nice headphones for that price. Anyways I mostly listen to EVERYTHING but I don't...

Hi guys,   I've recently acquired some older (pre-05) DT880s, and I'm falling in love with their sound.   The only downside is that my ears (mainly left) are being pressed reasonably hard by the foam covering the driver. I'm wondering whether it's the pads - they are clearly quite old...

I've long had HD580s as my main headphones, and I like them a lot, but I have a feeling that, over time, they've lost their sparkle. The high end sounds pretty laid back, and I'm not enjoying listening with them as much as I used to.   I'm wondering if it's worth going to HD650s. Is the...

Hey guys, I just wanted to mention one headphone I managed to get pretty cheap that is easily worth the price of entry. The Pioneer SE-505 (dated 1973). They weigh a tone because they are pretty much 100% metal and leather. They clamp with authority, but really are not horrible...

I've had a pair of HD600s running through a LD MKV for about a year now and I've loved them since I first opened the box. However..... I've recently purchased a pair of Pro900s (which are nowhere near finished burning in yet) and they completely blow the HD600s out of the water in every aspect...

Hi there,   I did a lot of reading lately (great forum btw) but still cannot decide on what amp should I get for my HD650. The biggest decision factors are:   1. I have around $350 to spend. 2. I have sensitive ears, esp to high frequencies and high volume. 3. I like deep, extended...

Hi,   I am just wandering if anyone could point me in the right direction, I am after a pair of cheap (£20-30) earphones to replace the ones bundled in with the iPhone that provide better bass performance than the bog standard apple ones. I would also like these headphones to have controls...

I just bought a pair of HD650s from someone here. I've spent about a day with them already and love their sound. They're currently running off the original Little Dot amp, probably not the ideal amp for them, but I'm still amazed at how good they sound. I just purchased the ASL MG Head amp on...

Thanks to trolling in these forums I upgraded from my bose over ear headphones to ultrasone hd580s. I always thought that bose made good products but boy was I wrong. The ultrasone opened up my mind to good sound and now I want more. I am seriously thinking of an upgrade and want to get some...

I just want a decent comfortable headphone for watching movies on laptop and listening to music. I'm not an audiophile, so what would be difference between buying a  $30 vs $200+ headphone? I don't understand what could be the difference audio wise and if it's worth getting a headphone more...

My father has a pair of HD-580 that I left him several years ago.   He says the replacement cable has already broken at the point it goes into the earpiece and I can see that the padding on the earpieces and band has no "air" ie. it's no longer really padding.   Currently I'm in the UK...

Hi   I have the opportunity to buy some Sennheiser HD 595s for £70, in as-new condition.   Are these good headphones? I know nothing about them.

I think I've got it now - the idea of how impedance works with cans. Now, I'm trying to figure it out with amps, and I'm hoping the answer is way more obvious than it seems to me. I began trying to figure this out while looking for a new jack to plug my HD580s into. What I seem to have...

I recently got my hands on some hd580's which my friend gave me.  I have to say I am a little disappointed in them when compared to my DT pro 770s.  The soundstage is not as vast and the lows and highs are not as bright or clean sounding.  I am running these unamped through my macbook.  Maybe...

Hello,   I'm looking for a headphone that has a nice lush mid range, but also has solid bass.  I'm not looking for skull pounding bass, but I do want it to be solid and not too thin.  Something that can reach down to the sub bass as well.  I'm not into bright treble as I get hearing fatigue...

there has been a great deal of discussion about the v6 and the 7506 headphones being the same, aside from some cosmetic differences. almost all of the comments i've been able to find are hearsay: "i've heard they are the same cans", etc. i know macdef has a hybrid pair with a v6 earcup on one...

For the past few months I've been here, I've read more than my share of topics in which people say "the **** is good, but amazing when amped" or "the **** sounds extraordinary, but will sound flat and uninspiring when unamped." Truth is, for the average user, there isn't a really big difference...

Tell me why everyone loves sennheiser so much? Why are they better than other brands

So I listen to a lot of Hip Hop and Rap on my Ipod 3g. My price range is preferably $200 or under, the more bang for the buck, the better! I've done quite a bit of research recently and have narrowed my search to the following headphones.. Please tell me which you think is best (or the worst)...

These are the two headphones I have on my list at the moment. I understand that the HD580s are quite old and I would have to buy them used, but they are basically the HD600 without the ugly faux-marble finish. I'm not sure about the HD580, but I've read that the HD598 are a very fun can to...

Hey guys, I wanted to focus the topic of the thread I started the other day (IEM vs. hd 580 and amp options). Except for what the title already says I want to add that I'm mostly looking for a mixing headphone, and that detail, separation and extension are my top priorities. Also, I'll be using...

i'm looking for my first full-size for abt $150 for vocal and jazz Plz recommend some Thx a lot :D  

Just lost another bid an a NIB HD 580's that ended up going for $234.50 shipped on eBay. That is getting fairly close to HD 600 prices is it not? I'm basically a minimalist by nature I don't want the nice HD 600 box and I don't care that the 580 are a stripped down version of the 600's. I...
