Before people spend fortunes on all the cables (like me) don't overlook the easiest & cheapest way to radically change sound of Senn 580/600/650............replace foam oval behind ear cushion with another material.
The ear cushion is just friction fit and easily comes out with a couple tugs allowing you to remove foam oval. The foam really dramatically muffles sound and cuts treble energy.
Two alternate materials I like are:
-finest mesh plastic screen replacement, small roll under $5 (home improvement store by screen doors, screen windows)
-black nylon stocking (womens dept)
Use the foam oval as template and cut out oval shapes with scissors and place behind ear cushions, you will hear major difference! I am using fine plastic mesh screen with Senn 600/Cardas and it sounds much better to me.
There have been threads about this long ago, but this may be news to some newcomers here.
