Are you seriously running them from the headphone out of your Logitech speakers? I once tried that on my old Z5300s and it was one of the worst sounding sources ever. You'd be better off running them straight out of the soundcard.

haven't tried that yet, but planned to. it's late night here so i'll do that tomorow. i did asked about this before and was told to just max out the volume on the E7 not the other way around, and should be fine.

Listening to these after my HD555s has gotten a bit difficult! The HD555s are like the most comfortable headphones ever and the M50s feel like they're clamping pretty hard on my head now, whereas before, they actually felt kind of loose on my head.
 
But, I stick it out just because of how good these things sound. I love them so much!

Lol, I just had the same experience.  I never had any discomfort w/ my M50s before.  After the 555 the the M50 head pad felt like a wedge slamming into the top of my head.  WTH?!  My M50 headband just turned into an Ultrasone headband.  Weird.  Btw, if you think the 555 is comfortable you gotta try the ESP950 someday.  Feels like wearing air.
 
Edit - I just realized my settings were off on my M50 from being tossed into a box.  Still....

Try some Beyerdynamics. 2-3x more comfortable than the 555/580/600/650. Like pillows from heaven.

I got these in a local trade and seem like a pretty good value at the $100 or so price they go for on Amazon. I think I got a great deal as I traded one o my earphones that I wasn't using for these today. It's been a while since I had a headphone as it's hard for me to find time for them since most of my listening is done on the go or not at home. They seem pretty comfortable but not as much as my AD700 but you can't really take those portable and expect to hear anything. I'm assuming there's proper time on them as the previous owner had them for around a month but they sound pretty good so far. I was expecting something like a bass monster or V shaped at this price range but it doesn't seem that way which is a good thing for me.

I've been trying my best to stay away from headphones..at least open full sized headphones and have done a good job so far. It's more expensive and takes up more space. Luckily for me I am not able to be at home for longer than ~4 hours a day not counting sleep so that doesn't give me much time for headphone listening and saves me money

If my math is correct I'm saving hundreds of dollars by buying portable/transportable stuff instead!

If i'm lucky there will be an amazon box sitting on my front porch when I get home today.  The wait for these things has been brutal... 

 

[proteinpig]

If you run them from a nice DAC, you should be surprised that cans at this price can sound so good. I put them on at 9PM yesterday and couldn't take them off until 4AM in the morning. My ears (and eyes) are sore and I feel like a zombie today :|

Yep, the result wasn't good. i hear distortion at high 2/3 knob turn.

I've had these for a good part of the day and I'm definitely enjoying them. I feel like I robbed the person I made the trade with but he seems happy with the trade so we both win

These aren't too hard to drive with my J3 and with my dac/amp they sound better. I'll admit I did around zero research before making the trade but I knew I could sell them pretty easily if I did not like it. They probably do get a bit hot after some time but not as much as when I had the Denon D1001. Just out of curiosity are there any mods for these?

Ordered mine today, pretty stoked
