Momentum cables look like they might work, but don't take my word for it i have not tried it yet.
They don't work, won't fit. Been there, tried that.

That looks gorgeous.
Those are old posts, Sennheiser fixed the problem a couple years ago. If you buy used, put them on your head. Of you hear creaking, then it's probably an old version.Hi all.
Does it still has a headband crack problem? I found some old posts saying that its quite common for hd 558 and 598. I really want to get those for gaming, because my skullcandy cracked at the headband on both sides and duct tape makes them look ugly.
Well, the 558s weren't necessarily meant to be fun-sounding.I was ready to give my 558s away because they sounded boring compared to my X1's. Glad I gave the foam mod a chance before ditching them. The mids feel more present and snappy while maintaining the appropriate warmth. The only EQ adjustment I made was turning the treble down 2 notches.

A little bit of bothRight? The cable's fantastic. And if you were talking about the photos themselves, thanks! Just a little photography and editing every so often. Those weren't even the actual lighting conditions lol. The originals were all yellowed cuz of the indoor lighting.
The only thing I find interesting is that I feel the vocals and mids are still behind everything else. People with this type of setup and tube seem to usually rave about vocals and mids. But they always seem much quieter than everything else. Maybe they're supposed to be, but I dunno.
Ok, signed up for this. Hello all. Anyone have any idea why people seem to complain about bass on Sennheisers so much? I have had a pair of HD 558s for a month or so now, and I just got ahold of an Aune T1 MK2 to go with them. Have one of those new-made Genalex Gold Lion tubes in it. I had HD 280s years ago, but I barely remember how they sounded and I fed them from a crappy onboard sound card then.
So uh, what's wrong with the bass? I LOVE the bass I'm getting. The presence of it is unlike anything I've heard before. Usually right in the center and deliciously full. In every genre I've tried it's there. Even modern drum and bass tracks like Pendulum's Visions (bassiest one I could think of off the top of my head) have that awesome feeling of a low rumble in my head. Just like my JVC HA-FX3X buds which are made to be super bassy.
Are people saying there's phones out there that give you the actual body rumble as if you were standing in a concert? I find that hard to believe, but I've come here to ask. I've tried classical, classic rock, newer acoustic indie stuff, drum and bass, house, and more on these and have been nothing but impressed. Especially by the older genres. Dear god my old favourites sound good not coming out of an FM radio. The soundstage and separation are amazing as I learn for the first time what they truly are and how to appreciate them.

I think some of the time it depends on the production of the music you're listening to.
