Hi guys, I want an 'open' set of cans for rock/Classical/acoustic music. Comfortable for long listening sessions. I am not a basshead. I stay in India and so I cannot try out or audition many headphones here, however I do understand(have heard) what decent sound is like. I searched a lot...

Ran into a very strange issue today. I havent had a decent set of earbuds for a while since my senn's broke, Ive been running off the pair I got with my phone. I've only used the E7 with my 595s till this morning, plugged the earbuds into the left hand socket, and all I got was distrorted noise...

Hey all, new to headphones and trying to find a good headphone for the $200-$300 range--can be used, so like a Grado 225i new 325i used or Sennheiser HD595 or HD600.  Just started my research.    Listed to mostly rock which I understand is Grado's territory.  Some jazz and a lot of acoustic...

I am looking for a good pair of closed headphones. I have not had much experience with full sized headphones though. Ive gone through 5 pairs of in ear earphones the last month. I lost 5 of them actually, i don't know how. At first I had monster turbines which i loved and lost, lost three pairs...

Ive had my 595s for over a year now, and Im awaiting a pair of 598s in the mail But I have a little spare, enough for the sr225i's. I'm thinking I want to try something with a different sound to the sennheisers, and from the posts on this forum it seems like that would be the way to go, your...

Hey everyone, I was thinking about picking up some new headphones this summer off my work salary. Don't get me wrong, the way a headphone looks is not the most important factor when buying by far, but I think it would be a good starting point. So, what do all of you think are the coolest/best...

hello guys!   so, i need some advice on what sort of headphones to purchase. the most i would be willing to pay is around $130.   i want headphones that provide extremely high sound quality. i'm going to use these in my room, hooked up to either my iphone or laptop, for listening to my...

About 5 years or so, I purchased Sennheiser HD595 and an amp.  Sounds amazing and I love them when listening to music at home.  However, I travel quite a bit now.  About 40-50k miles in flights every year and commute about an hour a day to the office via train.  Since the HD595 is open ear...

Ok guys, so like many of u here, my thirst for sound quality was born reading through in-numberable posts on the forum.thus starting a journey to the place where i love the sound of my rig. Now, i started with Sennheiser HD212 Pros, then brought my Sansa Fuze V2.built a HeadBanger amp, then a...

After a year of lurking around this site and overclock.net sound forum i finally saved up the money to buy my first hifi [i consider it hifi, leave me alone!] set up. I bought myself the Xonar STX soundcard, some m-audio BX5a's, and a pair of Sennheiser 595's. let me just say WOW, i never...

Hey all, I'm looking for a new pair of full-size headphones, and have a PA2V2 amplifier which I will be using in conjunction with my HTC Desire (not the greatest source I know, but it's all I have to work with!) I currently own a pair of Sennhesier HD 228's, and was happy with the sound...

You know what to do. please, none of the "i cannot afford this headphone so it looks ugly even though it really looks nice" crap. also, no matter what anyone says, jecklin floats will always be the best looking headphones ever. I'll start off with the sennheiser HD 515, 555, and 595. It's...

Hello,   My problem is that I brake headphones very easily. I have had bunch of Sennheiser HD-595, HD-550, Grado SR-60 and Koss Porta pro  headphones and they usually last 1-2 years. Recently I just broke the frame from my HD-590 and the repair shop told me to send them in. Well, apparently...

i listen to dance music , i want bass, but also very clear sound!! , which one is it??

Hey guys and gals. Alright, this might sound weird but I like the Sennheiser HD238 (general sound signature and comfort). Mine is modded with aluminum instead of the foam in the cup, so that might be why. I know a lot of people have issues with this headphone sounding muddy but it's really a lot...

Hey all, I just bought some Monster Studio Beats today at best buy, I needed a new pair of headphones for listening to music on my PC and iPhone while laying in bed. I only bought these because these were $100 off with the Boxing Day sales. They do sound pretty good, I guess.. I was under the...

I've been lurking around a bit and finally my new cans have arrived! I started out with a 2nd-hand HD595 (really worn out) and used that for a year directly plugged into my MacBook. I never used iBuds after listening to those cans.   Here's the story on how I got around to getting the setup...

Hi,   just wondering if, from your experience, the jack from an integrated amp with 220ohm output impedance would drive these fine.   Thanks

I've always been obssessed with audio quality when it comes to games and especially music. I've been looking for a decent pair of headphones that are very good for Metal music and Gaming online in games like Starcraft 2, Bad Company 2, Crysis, etc. I have an X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion PCIe...

So I've had my 595s for about 18 months now, my first set of high end headphones. About a month ago I went out and picked up the FiiO E7 & E9. I was caught between spending my cash on either a reasonable desktop amp or a great portable one, and I figured I listen to my music mostly when away...

Hello all, first of all let me say this is my first post to the forum and I just joined, though I have been reading the threads for a few years.   I recently purchased some Sennheiser HD 600s as an upgrade from my Sennheiser HD 595s. I have been using an Arcam Alpha 8se CD player as my main...

  Hey guys first post :)   Been looking about the site for a few months now, and finally decided I wanted to purchase some new cans and an amp and or dac...   My main question is with the items I wish to buy what would be the best way to set it up, or even get something different.  ...

I am on the lookout for new cans, with a budget of roughly around ~100-125 CAD shipped. I dont know much about headphones so I was pointed here by a few friends.   I received some suggestions:   - Sony V700DJ - Audio Technica ATH-M50 - Sennheiser HD595 (slightly out of budget) -...

So my IE8 cable has been broken for a few weeks now. All this time that I am awaiting my new cable I have been using alternatives, such as: HD 280 and HD 595.    Now the strangest thing happened to me... I favor the earbuds I found lying around in the closet that my mother got with her...
