1000+ Head-Fier
Well, I finally got the Senn's from that Amazon deal posted here earlier and all I can say is... wow. I don't know if it's my amp, but I definitely can't hear the "veil" that everyone complains about here so frequently. Even with the stock cable, and right out of the box, these things are amazingly smooth. In my opinion they do absolutely everything right, excluding maybe the heaviest of rock. Soundstage is dramatically larger than with my ety's, and the instruments sound much more "real" in comparison. There's a certain airiness that the ety's completely lack, although I find the ety's excel in their own way. Also, contrary to what I previously believed, these actually sound good with old recordings.
If it is the amp (haven't yet tried them directly out of a headphone jack), then I salute headamp. If not then the whole laid back thing is a bit too overstated here at head-fi. They certainly don't sound as if I'm sitting 10 rows behind the stage
By the way, could it be possible that they are already burned in since I bought them refurbished? They look brand new, but they don't really sound as harsh as some of my other headphones did right out of the box
Just some short comments...
