Encouraging news! Let us know how you're doing after the antibiotics.

 
I have just finished the course and there's an improvement. No itching, pain and pressure. Still going to see an audiologist though to do more checks.

  Thanks.. Word of caution, the wires are VERY easy to break.  Be careful and take your time removing the lollipop driver housing.  Also keep metal objects away from the drivers once they are removed.  The magnets are small but powerful enough to attract paper clips, staples, tweezers...etc.  The very tool you use to re-bend the springs could jump across the table and crush the driver diaphragm.  I use a wood/bamboo BBQ skewer, whittle it down to a flattened point with my knife... like a small screwdriver.

 
When removing the lollipop is it just held in place by the plastic clips circled in red? Or do I need to do something with the gold pins circled in green? It seems tough to remove.

Just pull the whole thing out.. it will go. Nothing holds it near the golden pins, AFAIR.

Thanks. i managed to get it out of there. I spent around 20 minutes trying to bend both springs, they are very stiff. I don't think it made any difference since when I replaced the driver in the assembly and connected the cable back I still had the sound cutting in and out depending on the cable position.

This is what the springs look like. I might take another crack at it later.

yeah thats them alright.  I just use a wood BBQ skewer and carefully bend the spring coils back so they are closer together.  Note that at some point around ~2007-06 senn updated the spring metal to a much stiffer material.  it sounds like yours are the updated springs.  Mine most likely are the older/softer ones.

I used a BBQ skewer whittled down to a flathead. The springs were so stiff they were bending and stripping the wood from the skewer. I then tried it with a miniature screwdriver used to secure the screws on my phono cartridge which made it easier to bend the springs. But they always went back to their original position. The headphones were purchased around 2005 I think. I guess I'll contact Senn to see if they can provide different springs.
 
When I plug the cable into the naked assembly the pins go between the larger holes in the spring that can be seen above.

  Woohoo 1000th post
 
Thought I'd make it this thread and say my HD600s and my TH600 are the cans I'd keep forever. One open and one closed, one for EDM ad one for everything else.

You like the TH600's for EDM only?

You like the TH600's for EDM only?

yes I think the HD600 is better for the vocal stuff

 

[Francisk]

I've found that the HD600 has a high sensitivity to distortion even playing at low volume. Anybody here experience the same?

What do you mean? That it brings out the distortion in the recording more, or that the amp distorts easily with it?

 

[HPiper]

What does that mean, high sensitivity to distortion? You mean your amp is clipping even at low volumes?

 

[Ophiel]

just want to say to those with tinnitus, stay strong. I had it before with a very bad tonsilitis and I was really scared it won't go away because it is very disruptive. the sound is similar to gritting ur teeth against each other, and it came every 5 secs..not fun at all

 

[Eee Pee]

And I just wanted to say the HD 600 and Schiit Mjolnir is killer together.

 

[Francisk]

Sorry ProtegeManiac & HiPiper, what I meant is that recently, my HD600 highlights the distortion of the recording very clearly but I've double checked with another headphone and it turns out that the particular track is distorted. I was a little worried that my HD600's driver is giving way. Does anybody here experience a damaged driver with their HD600 yet?
