Hello everyone,   I've been meaning to ask this for a while, as I've entertained the thought several times. I used to be fine with my PC's onboard Realtek audio and a really old SB Audigy 1. However, a friend of mine suckered me a bit into higher end audio. I've still got some sense...

I'm looking for a new headphone storage case for my Sennheiser HD600.  Does anyone know any good cases at a reasonable price?  Currently, I have been looking at the Pelican 1400.  Has anyone tried the Pelican 1400 with the HD600?

Introduction   This is mainly a review of two Cable Pro products, the Panorama Sennheiser Upgrade cable for the HD580/600/650 Series and Dimension RCA Interconnects.  I will also be posting some listening notes on the Apogee ONE DAC/Recording Interface and my Meier-Audio Corda Arietta...

After reading the thread by HugoFreire asking for interest in HE90 leather earpads, I thought it would be nice to have something similar for the rest of the Sennheiser users HE60 users probably know what to expect. An improved version of the stock earpad: it would look much nicer, be more...

Hello everyone,   It seems long posts don't garner much interest, so I'll keep it short and simple this time. Besides a soundcard from Asus or Auzentech, what are my options for an external dac/amp or dac+amp for driving HD600's, along with SRH840's and my Audioengines? That in itself...

Hi, until now i've used portable amps and mp3 players. But now i'm burning my music onto cds and ill be making a home setup :)   It will look like this: Yamaha dvd/cd player -> DAC(when i can afford it) -> amp -> HD600   So i have been reading a lot about vintage reciver, this post etc ...

Hi all.  Just joined Head-fi today and this is my first post =).   After listening to music for a long time on average iem's, I decided it's time to finally get a good pair of headphones to enjoy the music more.  Since I'm new to headphones, I thought head-fi fould be a great place to ask...

Hey guys and gals, especially you Vancouverite Sound Hounds, I'm looking for a pair of closed back headphones for the office after breaking my old Sony 7506's . After doing some research I ended up with a pair of Shure SRH 840's, but am not happy with just how narrow the sound stage is even...

I've heard so many varying opinions. I'm stuck with the basic flimsy HD600 cable and wanted to know if those $200+ cables out there really make that big of a difference? I have a modest setup, but i'd hate for this thin cable to be my bottleneck.   Would the (cheap!) upgrade to the HD650...

Im just getting into high end headphones and am looking to spend between 500-1200$ on a good amp and a good DAC or even a combo.   There are so many amps out there I just dont know where to start.   I have been looking at the Ray Samuels Audio "Raptor", because I have always preferred...

Hello all,   My friend recently purchases a new pair of the AKG K702's.  Along with this purchase, he ordered an amp (Shanling PH100) as from reading he knew he was going to need one.  So a few days ago, while still waiting on the amp to come from China  he apparently made an additional...

hi guys,    I think I have spend money for no advantage.   I was about to buy some headphones and decided to buy the HD600 as many people say they improve with better source/amp. This way I wouldn't buy headphones any more. Before these I only used headphones which came with mp3 player...

Hiya folks, What do you think are the best headphones in the 300$ range for casual at-home listening. I listen mostly to Blues, Jazz and Classical. (I also enjoy long walks across the beach) I have had a pair of SR60's but the cord got loose and now the right ear won't work. I called...

I have the UM3Xs hooked up to the Alo Rx and love the sound I'm getting. I listen to classical and acoustic exclusively and need the most detail oriented phones I can find.    I want to keep the price point around 200 bucks. Also, they would have to hold up to (or be better) than the UM3Xs...

They sell Senn HD600 for more than HD650.   http://www.amazon.ca/Sennheiser-Lightweight-Open-Air-Audiophile-Headphone/dp/B00018MSNI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375399697&sr=8-1&keywords=hd+650   CDN$ 545.21  ...

guys, do you know where can i get equalizer presets for foobar? i'm not good at adjusting them myself(i don't get it), i need something like Bass and Treble preset for rock Thanks!

I'm kind of upset that I can't fall in love with a pair of headphones. I've owned HD598s, Momentums, HD600s, DT990s, SR80s, and now have HD700s. Sure, they sound great. The 700s beat everything I've owned so far. However, when I unplug them and listen to my Audioengine A2 speakers...

Something I have always wondered....   Can I use two separate stereo amps to power one headphone?   Using a Darkvoice 336 as an example, because I am familiar with its bigger brother 337 having owned it for a couple years.  The 337 I think is just two 336 circuits running dual mono in the...

I think the above equation "sums" up my question.   Regarding budget, I'm assuming improvements on the HD600 will require entering Summit Fi territory. The LCD3/HD800 are the most expensive headphones I'd consider buying.   Depending on which headphone comes closest to the sound signature I...

I am taking my first dive into the world of vinyl and basically know very little, even after some intimidating google sessions.  With this set-up do I need a phono-preamp?  If so, what is a good one you'd recommend? Would I still benefit from my dedicated headphone amp?  Do I need anything else...

Hello friends, I have taken apart my HD600's earpads and in the process of a few days, lost the big plastic ring that is slotted into the earpads and then "clips" into the headphone housing. I've emailed Sennheiser USA and the part they recommended, 050635, appears to be only the earpad, without...

Sorry if this is old content, I've been away from HF for a few years.  Fast forward to today, are there alternate earpad options for these cans?   Another member mentioned using Shure earpads as replacements.  Has anyone tried this and how do you get them to mount / attach?  Any pics you can...

Good morning Head-fiers,   Next month, I'm going to NY and I'll buy my first hi-fi cups, but I'm having trouble choosing the best pair for my taste.   One of the main reasons is that I don't have the headphones on hand to test, so I will have to base on some feedback from you head-fiers =P...

Hi all,   I own the Sennheiser HD595 for around 4-5 years now. I recently noticed something wrong with the sound. I can clearly hear stereo, but the left side sounded more full and louder. I checked it with a tone generator, and it became clear all bass was gone from the right side. A 100hz...

I just ordered 2 HD600 Grills from SennUSA, and they are in stock, so if anyone was wanting any, you might want to order now. They were $7.something each with a 3dollar first class shipping. The lady I talked to was very friendly! Gotta love good service!
