After you are done with an evening's listening, can you just wrap the cables around the headphones? I am concerned because I hear about all the intermittent connection problems. What is the best way to store these headones between listening sessions?

carefully

Carefully is self-evident. Can you expand on that. Is there any correct way to store them?

leave them on the floor out in the open

Hi Jay,
I just coil the cord separately and hang both the 'phones and cord together on a hook on the wall. No problems yet.

A & M.............what's up with that suggestion?

Don't the 600's come with a box? If so use that, otherwise...

Try acquiring a bag that the cans can fit into, check out www.headphone.com.

Yes, HD-600's come with in a very strudy and attractive box. That would be an excellent place to store them, being careful not to yank on the cord at the headphone end at any time.

joe - it was supposed to hint the idea to "not be so paranoid".

 

[jaybar]

Does the cord detach from the headphone so you can coil it separately?

jaybar, it does. btw, when i'm finished listening to the hd580s i place it on the table beside my amp; they aren't fragile headphones by any means.

incidentally i have had a bit of an intermitency problem and have seen some oxidation on the contacts... plugging and unplugging several times solves the problem for me.

best,
carlo.

Hi, jaybar!

First thing: do not unplug the cord unless there's intermittent contact problem - it's design is not so durable as for example jack 1/4'', I expect limited unplug/plug cycle life.

Second: I use glass head when not using big circumaural phones like the HD600. (price I paid was about 20 USD in Czech Republic - from Sennheiser dealer, they have demo phones on them)

bye

There's a headset stand available at Radio Shack for about $5. I hang my HD580 on one. Looks pretty sharp, and always draws a comment from visitors. Makes me look like a serious audiophile. I looked more hard core with those, my V6, CD1700, and SR-80 lined up on stands, but the latter two 'phones are out of my collection and the V6 is hiding under my computer desk (it's in fear of my new KSC-35, heh.)

I'd suggest hanging the 'phones up, either on a stand like me or on a peg like Joe. They shouldn't suffer from just being set down, though, as A&M suggested.

Can you point out this stand on the Radio Shack website? I can't seem to find it. Sounds cool!

Nick,

I can't find it on the Radio Shack web site, but the catalog number for this item is 43-2005 (looking on the bottom of mine).

This is what it looks like:

Thanks for posting the pics.

It's not in their product catalog anymore. Looks like a deal at $5.
