When you come to think of it, the HD800 is only 363 more than 437. 363 senn points?

My last significant headphone purchase was $60.

My next headphone purchase will be pretty close to $300 (both floats, hopefully, in the FS section)

After that, I'm skipping to $1000 for the best of both worlds.

I hope I don't though in a way.

Curse this hobby...

i plan on upgrading to the sennheiser hd 555 or hd 600, but not for a while

Honestly, who cares how much this hobby costs? You can always sell your stuff and get most of your money back. Money lost = the fun of the experience.

alrights, heres some pics:http://i40.tinypic.com/bgzeki.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/i27yab.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/vaniv.jpg
first off, price: i got these for 50.99$ retail, so you could probs get them for 30 online.

first impressions: i thought these were quite good when i got them, but they must be used in a quiet enviroment because they're open. now, you may not like them, but my ears haven't heard many high end audio stuff, so they're a good pair of intro headphones i guess.

build quality: i think they're build quite well, and the headphone cups (i guess that's what they're called?) can swivel around. the actual headband part is just plastic, and could snap if you bend too hard (duh). since i'm protecting these with my life, they won't be breaking on me

sound quality: they sound quite well, decent amount of basss. seeing as im a junior, i can't really go into the mids/highs/whatever. i did notice though, that on some of the higher notes of songs it kind of crackles a teensy bit. doesn't happen all the time though, and i don't really notice it as most of my songs don't have really high notes.

looks: i think they look ugly, but who really cares. im using these for home use, so nobody really sees them.

comfort: i thing they're VERY comfortable. nice foam at the top of the headbands, and on the ear pads.

So yeah! theres my mini-review. if you have any questions 'bout them, feel free to ask and i'll TRY (i emphasize try) to answer them.


EDIT: pics were too large, click the links instead

Congrats

I still remember how I felt when I got my first decent headphone, so enjoy your new toy

 

[bananaman22]

oh! forgot to add in the review: what is that thing in the third pic for? i know its an adapter for something, but what? doesn't say on the package either...

 

[tenzip]

It's a 1/8" > 1/4" adapter, so you can use your headphones with equipment that has a 1/4" jack, like a home stereo receiver or a mixing board.

Don't forget to do the "Dennison Mods" as well as the "Kirkland Cable Upgrade", They'll sound just like the HD650's

HaHa... Just yanking your "Upgraditis" chain. I just made those mods up.

 

[paaj]

nice start, and that many reviews may follow.

can you make those images a bit smaller? or linkable?
