Lil off topic but how do you like those Sennheisers you got there? I think my buddy just ordered the 485's.

I think they sound great, I only got about 20 hours on them so far if that... Some may say they are a bit warm and or laid back...but to me they are a nice switch up when I am not in the mood for the brightness of my Grados.

The one that particually stands out is the bass response

don't get me wrong its not overally boomy or anything, it just really can hit the low notes there spec's at 16 to 24,000 khz. Also they have a little bit of a sounstage, albeit not a very large one, but its there

Yea, I no what you mean. I would jump from my Grado's to my Sennheisers and its definately more bass friendly. Plus most of the Sennheisers arent as fatiguing as the Grado's "Or to me anyways" . Definately a nice change up from the Highs of the Grado's. Are they pretty comfy? Wow and on the specs it says it comes with some headphone holder??? Is that pretty useful ?

 

[c0mfortably_numb]

It is very useful....I leave it clamped to the top of my desk...I plan on keeping the sen's there as it is very handy to just have them at arms reach...the stand will be to hold the rest of my can collection

Comfortwise....once you get past the head clamp effect of Sen's these are very comfortable...the band is heavily padded, and the cups have a very comfortable valour pad..and not to mention single sided cable entry..gotta love that

To keep on topic, I am having Headphile stands built as we speak, unfortunately I have two new sets of headphones on their way to me and the stands I am having built are going to be full with what I already have. At least the Sony SA-5000 comes with its own stand.

Looks very nice. Gunna put anything on the bar to keep the headphones from slipping off?

STAX 404 styrofoam works rather well:
