Currently waiting for my shipment for the headphones, man I can barely wait any longer! I want to see what all the hype is about, and my Sennheiser HD-495's on my laptop just can't cut it once I try turning up the volume halfway decent.

You're gonna love 'em!

I'm groovin' with mine right now and they sound fantastic considering how little they cost!

I'm loving mine, but I still feel like I have a huge head. I might have to give this bending thing a try.

Just got mine. I'm really liking them, but it's not as amazing as it's been for other people here.

I did buy them from someone on the forums, is another burn-in going to be beneficial to me? Also, the bands barely go out enough to fit, is this normal? Thanks.

(hope it's not this case, so... let's see next case) 2. The way you wear them might be incorrect. Try to wear them on your head so that you get seal on both side, and adjust it until you hear sound coming from both side form a correct image in your head. Hope this helps

Yeah, I edited my post saying I wasn't wearing them right. It turns out one earcup was at 8 and the other at 10.. Silly me.

Since this is my first real set of headphones I have a quick question. Someone has to have a copy of Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused. In the beginning is that the snare rattling in the background as the bass is playing the first few notes? Or is that my headphones?

I don't hear any rattling ThirtySixBelow, is it actual rattling or just a hissing sound in the background? Through all of my headphones I hear a sort of hissing sound in the background, but no rattling.

It's more of a buzzing noise. It's either a snare rattling or my driver is loose in my headphone. I don't have anything else that I can compare with. There normally isn't just bass with silence to be able to hear if it were something loose.

I just tried it again with my K81DJs and I don't get a buzzing sound, but you might try a different copy of the song first? Unless it's the original CD or your rip, I'd try another copy of the song if you haven't noticed the buzzing with any other songs.

 

[ThirtySixBelow]

Ok, I tried it right off the cd and I even heard it after trying my ipod buds. I guess I just never noticed. Thanks for your time and dealing with my worrisome self

 

[LuckyKarma]

No problem, you've got me curious now though! The copy of "Led Zeppelin I" that I have is downloaded because I left my original CD at home, but I will listen to it this weekend and see if I can hear it

Thank you guys for all of the posts in this thread guys, I am currently enjoying my K81DJs! I can't believe I actually read probably around 60 pages of this thread before deciding on buying these headphones. I already made up my mind probably 30 pages worth into reading but I wanted to hear more. I would've read all but I was getting tired (was reading from midnight to about 1am or so). Anyways these are great phones and I really want to hear all my CDs/mp3s through them just so I can really get to enjoy all my music collection as it was meant to be! K81DJ = Best Phones under $100 period.

They will be even better once they get broken in! And I haven't tried taking out the foam inserts as I enjoy a little more bass.
