Hello,   I happen to have hyperacusis, specifically on low bass (& only that). I'm hearing low traffic rumbling very loud. Ear plugs are great against higher-pitched noise, but bass, not really. I recently got a pair of ATH ANC9 (for the only reason that they gave specs on how low they...

Hello,   I am Seeking your help and advice about buying headphones using the following parameters:   Budget -200-250 $ ON EAR headphones Comfortable headset for continuous use (I have a big head, not heating up fast) Mainly for domestic use - Music / Movies from my PC, TV Without...

I am in the process of shopping for a set of headphones. I will be driving the units with a Rotel RC-995 preamp that has a headphone jack with 150 ohm impedance. My understanding of impedance matching is that the driver and load must be as closely matched as possible to acheive maximum power...

Three years I purchased a set of Sennheiser HD590s. I was happy with the sound and the physical comfort of the ear cups and the headband. However I found that regardless of the type of music I listened to, even at low to moderate volume levels, my ears would hurt after 20 minutes or so. I was a...

I have only had these phones since last night, and the only burn-in they've had is from being attached to my FM receiver overnight, running at moderate levels. So I don't really know where they will end up, sonically. I do know, from personal experience, that Senns need a lot of burn-in. My 590s...

Ok, I know this has been beat to death from the hundreds of posts, but bear with me! I found this site after wanting to upgrade the cheap headphones that came with my Nomad Jukebox 3. And of course, the Pandora's Box has been opened. I now HAVE to get some good headphones - I am weak! The...

hi I know it's a long shot but can anyone help please? I recently acquired a sennhieser watchband reading some forums I have found that it was given free with a set of hd590's question I have is does anyone have the manual or any other info to go with it thanks

Hi, I used to own HD590s for more than 10 years at the moment. (these are really great cans sound-wise as well as incredibly comfortable (here much spoken about)). So when I took off the earpads for cleaning - I found that one of the driver appears to be damaged - the very top of the membrane...

A long time ago I had a chance to try out a bunch of Sennheisers, and I really, really liked the HD 590s.  Alas I was working with a fixed budget and had to settle on a lesser model, which actually didn't turn out bad at all.  Now I'm wondering if there's anything out there right now that has a...

    Man I loved those headphones. And I only just replaced the velour pads a few months ago as well. I tried to glue it, but it didn't stay..haha Too many falls off the desk, unfortunately.   At the moment, I'm thinking of the HD598 for a replacement...though I did hear a complaint or...

hi there,   been reading for a while now here and thought it was time for my first topic. (mods: please move if not in the right section)   i owned and used a pair of sennheiser HD590 for ..what is it? ...over 13 years now? wore em on a daily basis for at least 5 hours a day in the...

I'm looking for a headphone that's similar to the HD-590.  It has a laid back sound to it and has been a favorite headphone of mine for a long time.  The HD-598 was much more forward than the HD-590.  Are there any headphones these days that are as comfortable and laid back as these?  Any...

I new to audiophile headphones and just bought used Sennheiser HD 590's. They sound Much better than what I am used to, but reading on this forum it seems that they are in dire need of equalization..   I would like to eq them for the flattest most natural sound.  I know people say eq to what...

Title says it all.   I have been pondering over this for a few days, its for a friend, I suspect and AT or Beyer is the solution, and I am not familiar enough with those brands.   Criteria: Circumaural - comfortable Atleast decent isolation (leakage not an issue) pretty much drowning...

Thanks to the generosity of bkelly, I recently received on loan his Senn HD590s and his pair of Senn HD600s. Why would he do such a thing? We've dealt with each other in the past on some fairly big-ticket items, plus we've corresponded a lot in the interim. Brian really wanted me to finally...

This is pretty personal, or at least it can be.   The Question Is Simple: ################   What made you a Head-Fier?   What made you listen to what you listen to? What made you buy what you bought?   What was the Game-Changer?   It is not a closed topic - go ahead and...

Good afternoon Head-Fi'ers,   Been lurking around for quite awhile now and just starting to get back into headphones and such. Long time member over at Overclock.net as well   Anyways, I am starting to piece together a new system and audio setup and would love to have some advice in...

I am thinking of replacing my aging Sennheiser HD590s. I've very happy with them, but I think I have blown the right speaker.   What I like about the 590s: comfortable, light weight and good fit for my head good sound quality worked fine in my Soundblaster X-Fi (discrete sound card)...

Well, Hi Folks! This could be quite a long post, so please bare with me here. Anyways, back in 2010 when I was looking at something worthwhile to spend my tax return on I happened to stumble upon this site. I'm not really sure what made me want a pair of nice headphones, considering...

I took the cap off one ear of my trusty old HD590s as the driver had somehow come free of its housing. I pushed it back in but it wasn't lined up properly and the super thin copper coloured driver wires snapped. I guess they were a bit brittle after a decade of use. I tried to reattach them to...

Would this be an upgrade? The cable broke on my 570's, and I'm not sure if the fitting on the phones is bad, or if it's the cable itself. I don't feel like ordering a new cable if the phones are bad. Are 595's all that different? I do not have an amp, and I enjoy bass and a good midrange.

i was wondering if there are filipinos here, who and can help me.. where i can purchase the HD-595/(if possible the magic red edition)... im having trouble buying online.. maybe someone can help tnx if not then o well..

A friend of mine gave me his old Sennheiser HD590's and compared to the K701 headphones I've had for a year, I think in every way these cheaper and older headphones sound better. I can can listen at loud levels without getting any distortion on the 590's and there is way more bass and crispness...

With all the (deserved) buzz about the KSC75's there has also been a lot of talk about the other Koss 60 ohm headphones, namely the: KSC35, Portapro, Sportapro, Portapro 2 and even a little chatter about the KTX Pro1. But in the myriad of threads about these little gems there is one headphone...

I'm glad I'm so lazy about throwing old stuff away. Recently I've been dealing with some TMJ issues, so I needed a much more relaxed fit than my trusty HD280 Pro could provide. (You can imagine what those things were doing to my jaw hinge....) I put on my old HD590s that I'd been neglecting for...
