I purchased a pair of HD 25-C II headhpones about two weeks ago for late night producing sessions in my studio. I am running them from an M-Audio Firewire solo. I already have Sony v900s and Beyerdynamic DT880s. I bought them to because they are supposed to have a flatter response than the v900s and because they have a bit more volume, low end punch and isolation than the DT800s. Plus the reviews of these headphones are glowing all over the net!
I researched the crap out of these and the "C" model I believe is exactly the same headphone as the HD 25-1 II with a coiled copper cable instead of a straight steel cable, amirite?.
I have been burning these things in over night, every night with dance music and pink noise for two weeks now and the sound is still very dull. The high end simply is not there and snares sound more like thuds. Shakers are inaudible and congas sound dull and very far back in the mix.
I am at work right now for 12 hours and I am trying the ultra high frequency filter sweeps .wav I got on burninwave.com while I am away.
There is surprisingly little information about the C model with the curled cable on head-fi. Does this cable have something to do with the dull sound of these cans compared to the steel cable?
Does anyone have any tips that will help burn these cans in to bring life to the high end?
I must have played 100 hours of pink noise and dance muisic through these things and they still sound lifeless and dull!
