i am currently listening to music through comp-> Crossroads amp -> Sennheiser HD212 Pro.

the HD212's have a lot of bass, which is not even punchy enough for my liking. And i do not like too much of bass. after hooking up the crossroads amp, atleast it is better.

but somehow, i have started disliking the overall sound...as even with the amp, the headphones have the loose bassy sound, and the oomph is lost, (maybe its the amp?).

is there anyway to get better sound from these headphones, by adding a better amp or something, or will i have to buy new headphones?

What sound card or other sources are you using? The sound built into your PC?

I've read that dampening the HD212 can help quite a bit. That may be necessary. Surely a better quality source than on board sound would help, and maybe a better amp. However, before trying anything else, I suggest EQing the lower frequencies down quite a bit.

yup currently on onboard sound....

what does dampening mean?
i tried EQing from media monkey, but it was very unstable and made the sound overly bright. and i had to change the settings for every song....

and even if i lower the lower frequencies down, the bass still sounds the same, albeit at a lower volume..

no ideas anyone? please?

have you tried the ASIO plugin?
also there might be ppl in the PC forum here who might have some more answers

Here is an example of dampening. Couldn't find one for the HD212 though, so maybe I didn't read about dampening the HD212 after all.
