I have the KRK KNS-6400, and the sound is very strange and distorted. The headphones were plugged into my laptop, and I had to restart the laptop to install the sound card. When the laptop started up, the volume levels shifted from what I placed them to a volume so loud that I could distinctly hear the laptop startup noises even though I didn't have my headphones on, as if they were coming from speakers. The volume for my headphones are extremely soft, and the instrumentals sound decent, but the vocals are very difficult to hear. And when they are heard, they sound distorted with a lot of reverb; there's a constant hiss. It sounds like the headphones aren't fully plugged in. I originally chalked this up as a headphone jack problem for my laptop, but then I tried it with my Iphone and Ipod, and I compared it to the sounds of an IEM I owned, and the IEMs sounded fine while the headphones sounded consistently distorted. I'm very careful with my headphones, and I listen to them at a fairly quiet volume, but they couldn't have been blown from that single instant of laptop startup noise, could it?
