I have had my HD580 with stock cable for about 7 years now.  I'd like to upgrade soon and my first thought is that I'd like some deeper bass with more impact/kick.  My second thought is that I would like to retain the 'airiness' of the HD580.  Would the LCD2 Rev.2 be a good choice for this...

I am considering this upgrade, but I am wondering if this is more of a sidestep than a significant step up.   I have read tons on the 650 and have an idea of the difference in sound, but has anyone who has listened to both (or hd600) care to give a good comparison.  Thanks.

I have been a long time lurker ...Have not had a half way decent set of headphones in awhile (few year back someone broke into locker at work and stole my portable set-up ) but had the bug for awhile now and looking on her and reading articles feuled my need for decent headphones.. I did not...

Hello everyone! My first post here. I have just begun the search for a new combination of headphones and a headphone amplifier. Thanks for letting me tap into the collective Head-fi intelligence. Some history I bought my HD 580s 17 or so years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed them. At the time...

Hey guys - after years, I'm finally ready to make my first headphone amp purchase.  The old HotUSB1 DAC I've been using for years has finally reached it's limits for me, and of course for my HD580s (white drivers, with HD600 metal grilles). Now, over the past few days I've spent way too much...

Alright, so I'm new to head-fi, and this is my first thread. I guess I'll just get to the point.   I recently bought a pair of Shure SRH440's as a replacement to my Bose mobile OE headphones, which I've had for three years. They recently shorted out on me, so I got the 440's after a lot of...

New member here, please be gentle :)   I have done a little bit of research already on the topic, but would just like some more opinions as I can't seem to find a place to demo listen to the various higher end headphones.   Currently, I have a Sennheiser HD580 with HD650 cables for the...

hi   i have a xonar dg soundcard coming soon and i own a pair of sennheiser hd 580 would i notice a big diffrence if i buy the pc 360 headset? will be used mainly for fps games like bf3 ect

Has anyone tried replacing the HD 580 or HD600 with Shure 940 pads as they look to be a similar size. Would they fit.

I have a pair of HD580 and I like them, but the low sensitivity bothers me. My iMac just barely drives them to good levels if I turn it all the way up, and my Ipod is the same (and that hurts battery life). I really don't to deal with the money and hassle of a headphone amp. I was thinking of...

Possibly thinking of upgrading from my HD580s. I've had them for almost as long as I've had a account here at Head-Fi...so maybe five years? I'm not sure if I should even upgrade, but let me explain my setup before I ask what I want.   HD580 Gilmore V1 (the one that's in two units) A USB...

This posts seems like it could belong in several different forums, but I think I'll take a shot at this one.   My current setup is, from wall to phones:   -Custom built power supply with custom power cord -powering my custom built Millet Hybrid amplifier -going to my current Sennheiser...

Curious.. anyone still have one of these?  Years ago I used to love bringing my HD580 to meets and listening to this amp.  There were always 2-3 at local meets here in the bay area.

Ive had the senn hd 580 for a few years; the only headphone i have.  I enjoy it but felt something was missing.  For source i have the QLS550 wav player going spdif to a fathom 1543 nos dac, to a Zenos portable hphone amp(no slouch, one of the better amps from a few years ago) In my search...

Ok, so I went in on a lark to my local Goodwill and I looked in at their electronics stuff behind the counter and my eyes almost popped out as I saw a pair of HD580's staring up at me. $50 and some change later and I am in my car looking over the headphones and the DSP pro that came with it. The...

Sup headfi,   So the left can rattles quite loudly and is distorted when low frequency sounds play (bass and the like), but I've already had them repaired about 8 months ago (there's a 90 day warranty on repairs).  They recently upped the cost of HD600 repairs $70 to $150, which is more than...

Hi I have had the good fortune of acquiring a pair of Sennheiser HD850 phones and excitedly plugged them in  to my Linn Kollektor pre amp and ............   oh dear!!!   Everything from all sources- cd, phono seem flat and distant. I have a pair of PX100 for my ipod, and comparing...

edit.

I have decided that due to my permanent chronic pain and neck problems, I am going to either use IEMs from now on (as there is no additional weight on the cervical spine), try the Stax portable unit (feather light) or go to speakers (in that order of preference). I would prefer not to go to...

Of course this is certainly debatable but I thought it might be interested to list some common price points and list the hp that you feel is the best dazzle for the dollar at that respective price point. I know that similar things have been done here in the past but maybe a refresh would be nice...

Hello all, I was wondering if you guys would help me out with this dilemma. I want to upgrade from my DT 770 Pro's, They are great. but I was looking for something with some more clarity. I was looking at the Q 701, and possibly an HD 580, but I don't have any experience with either. I will be...

the HD580s were the first high-quality cans i could afford, i have 2 now [in case one goes kaput, their reliability is dodgy, frankly speaking]. they were the first 'phones i could use for critical audio restoration applications, because they truly are neutral with high clarity. what they put...

I've had my Sennheiser HD 580's for years and years now. They're great, but I'm a bass head and I want some more bass. I wear these things all the time, so I need whatever I get to be just as comfortable.   Right now I run them off a Creek OBH-11 amp.   I use them for: 70% gaming, 20%...

I like my 9V cmoy with my HD580 but as i've read it is not decent enough for my cans. Most of these products are described well on this forum but i cant decide without auditioning them all. I can only listen to the Fiio and Mistral stuff in my country. Which one would you choose? 1. Fiio E9...

So this is my first post on here.  I love reading reviews on this site, but it seems like the more I read, the harder it is for me to make a decision.   I've never spent much on headphones.  Honestly the Monoprice 8323 is probably the nicest thing I have.  So that gives you an idea about...
