Hi, I'm new here.   I've been reading through these forums for quiet some time now.   I want to upgrade my Klipsch Image S4 earbuds - I think they're still nice.   So in India I am looking at a range of 12,000 - 16,000 INR or something like 200-250$.   I like the Logitech UE 9000 for...

Hello there Head-fi'ers. I've recently gotten into the hobby and I'm looking to upgrade from my Grado SR60i. I am a very heavy headphone user, wearing them 6-8 hours a day while I work, so comfort is EXTREMELY important. In addition to my Grados, I have a pair of Etymotics ER4p, Klipsch S4i, and...

So I got these in a trade and literally had them less than an hour before deciding I needed to make a balanced cable for them.   First up, I had to figure out the wiring. The plug that goes into the left cup is a 2.5mm TRRS. Hmm ok, that hopefully means it's a 4 wire cable already so I can...

I am considering getting a new pair of headphones and as I am new to audio I'm not sure what to get. I listen to a lot of rock/metal. I like tight, heavy bass, good guitar with a lot of instrument separation. If I get the sennheisers I will be pairing them with a fiio e07k and the beyerdynamics...

I have Audio Technica AD700s. Regarded as possibly the best set of cans for FPS games, and I have to say they have won me some matches. They're the best on CSGO. I been looking at getting something else, and always wanted to try Sennheiser's, so I been looking at HD598's. I'm also looking at a...

HI, I was wondering if a sound blaster Z sound card would be enough to drive the Sennheiser HD598 headphones or if I would still need a amp/dac combo as well and if I do need this can you guys give me an affordable suggestion. Also I am very much a noob when it comes to this stuff so any other...

Bleh, meant to put this in recommendations section. Sorry

Looking for a headphone just as comfortable and on par in quality (and price if not less), but just a closed can. Not a fan of sound leakage, especially if I take them to the library to study. This will also be my first pair of more than 30 buck headhones, so I'm really not all that picky or an...

Hello Head-Fi!    I am looking for some help and suggestions. I am looking for the perfect headphones (for me) - currently own the Sennheiser HD598's. I love the sound that the 598's produce with the exception of the bass, or lack there of. I am powering them with a Aune T1 USB DAC/Amp with a...

Hello, I'm new here, this is my first post, and I know barely anything about soundcards and computer audio. I've had pretty cruddy headphones for a while, never really bothered getting any good audio equipment. So I've had pretty average audio equipment for the entire time I've been using my...

I already have a Westone UM1 for use when I'm out commuting, so now I'm looking for a nice gear for home/office use.   Of the following, which would you guys recommend the most?   NAD Viso HP50 Senn HD 558 Senn HD 598   I'd prefer it if it needs no amp, but I guess I could buy at least a...

I'm looking for a pair of open headphones at 500 or less that pair well with a marantz cd 5004 and an Asgard 2. I listen mainly to classical and jazz and my listening sessions are usually an hour or more so comfort would be a definite plus. Thank you.

Please, allow me to run this by you for comment and criticism.   After research, here's my envisioned setup for gaming on a PS4: Astro Mixamp Pro 2013 Sennheiser HD598 Antlion Modmic   I was considering the HD650 at one point, but decided against it because I believe the Mixamp won't...

Hey guys. The audio jack on my PC is messing up, so I need to order a USB DAC that I can use with my 598's. I listen to mostly electronic and instrumental music (with some alternative thrown in every now and then). While I'm buying a DAC, I'd rather go ahead and get something good. I want...

Hey guys, I just recently got me a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80ohm. I have only had them for a few days, but I am really enjoying them so far! The slight complaint I have with them is the brightness. The highs are a bit too much for at times. I am used to my Sennheiser HD598's and Shure...

New member and looking for my first "audiophile" pair of phones. My budget is <200 and these two options have me quite crossed. The 900xs are about $145 on Amazon while the 598s are about $190. I will be listening to a variety of music (minus hard rock ect) and am very interested in the...

I've been looking at a new set of headphones to buy and the Sennheiser HD598 ticked pretty much all of my boxes except for that they are open. They seemed perfect to use as a headset for gaming and for music. The one thing is that I do a lot of public traveling on the bus or train almost every...

I realize the Sennheiser 598s are old headphones, but I am exploring all 20+ headphones since I got 2 new headphone amps. Can anyone tell me where I can get custom cables for the 598s?

Headsets i'm currently thinking about G4ME ZERO Build quality looks awesome. I love the volume control on the side of the ear cup and the microphone mute system (how you can just flip the microphone up and it's muted) ATH-AG1 Somewhat Interested in the 3D wing support. Not sure if it's just a...

So...I got a 598 and it has driver rattling issues at high volumes , seems like the membrane is being overdriven , its there with few songs at high volumes - not acceptable though  Is it apparent with all 598s or do I have a driver defect ? I was expecting robust drivers since my 650s are so...

Hello,   I know this may sound a bit odd, but I would be extremely grateful if someone could provide me with the inner length of the mad dog alpha pads. I have tried searching the internet and forums, even emailing mad dogs themselves to no avail.   The only reason I ask is I personally find...

Hi people,   I've owned the 598 for a week or two now and bought a separate mic to go with it. I'm very satisfied with the sound for both gaming and movies, only the separate mic cable is bothering me. So i was thinking of buying the 360 as it has a built-in mic. My question is if the sound...

I got them the other day, and the bass definitely had no impact. The bass is there, and well defined, but like I said it didn't have any punch, that's probably due to the open design, though I was expecting at least a decent amount of bass. The headphones will probably take a little while to...
