I know no one probably cares since these are old and discontinued but here goes anyway.
Anyways, I missed my chance on the 565's and I was too impatient to wait so I thought I'd give the 535's a try. Well the good news is they are very efficient and anything will probably drive them easily. The bad news is they seem to be very picky about the source. On my crappy old sound card they sound little better than my $20 sony's. On a portable stereo they definately sound better but still not worth the $80 I paid. Overall I'd say that they're pretty bright and on some songs the midrange seems a little withdrawn, like the singer is in the background. I expect an amp might take care of those problems though.
I also find them uncomfortable. I know Senn's are supposed to be comfortable but I really hate the way these are supported by the top of my head. It'd be nice if there was a little pressure on the sides. When I look down they try to slide off. My cheap Sony's are much more comfy.
Now for the problem I'm having. Whenever I listen to them, even for a few minutes, my ears feel all stuffed up and my head feels kinda weird. This didn't happen when I first got them but started the last couple of days.
Oh well, now I have to decide whether to swallow the 15% restocking fee and send them back or maybe buy a better sound card to test them on.
Anybody have any comments?
