it took me 2 years to get used to the claping force and maybe they are a bit lose now, at first few months it was giving me a headache now they are perfect!

Well the dirt doesn't bother me a bit its normal, the thing that actually freaks me out is that you disassembled the whole headphone! either you are really brave or actually know very well what are you doing! or it can be both :D I can only take out the pads and wash them once in a while with a...

I'll check it out ty

Sure if I ever get to vconnect them I am so afraid to connect a new product to a 20 years old one :D LOL Edit: I just tried hmm, interesting they sound warm and a bit better than SB Zx, cause I think Zx is trying so hard to make them bright and it I dont like how they sound with SB Zx...

Thank You :)

Thanks everyone for all the info and tips I'll try to go with a Schit or may go with a Xonar stx II while building a new PC

hmm so simply put I'm ok if I dont listen with the high volumes and high bass?

Actually I had 8 ohms old headphones that I was using with this amp so if 8 ohm headphone has survived I think 300 will also do lol

The model number is: AM-2450,

This old Akai amp belongs to my dad and it has 4 outputs for four 8 ohm large speakers, and it also has a headphone output too, I have SB Zx card which I think it isn't doing justice to the HD600 and I am just curious if I can use hd600s with this amp, I am really afraid to test them though, I...

THank you for the interesting tip! I heard SB Zx headphone output has a 21 ohms of power, odd enough I can't find it on official spec sheet, and as I was asking around some people said the less the output impedance the better it should be something around 6 ohms or even less like 4, but to be...

My budget is around $200 :D for sometime I was considering Schiit magni/modi stack but I am not sure how it'll work out.

Lol I said that to my friend who was using the *b* word and was trying to convince me he was not impressed by the HD600s :D

I actually love how they sound but I have this strange feeling something's not right with my soundcard I feel like not are not a good match, I was considering WA7 gen2 but it is really out of my budget, So I guess I have to save money for an Asus card. Yes I've disabled the effect but I get the...

Interesting..most people say they are warm sounding headphones but I agree with you, I thought I was the only one who was thinking this way, I like 598s but I only use them for gaming and movies. like the bass of 600s and it has much more clarity, I tested with my friend's SB Z they sounded much...

Guys I am using my HD600s with the Creative SoundBlaster Zx, and I get this feeling whenever I am listening to them they sound sort of odd I mean I know HD600 has a warm sound signature but somehow I feel the SB Zx is trying to make it bright and it's original sound signature gets disturbed and...

Thank You.

or a cover.

as amazing 598s are they have this problem with their headband that they come off after sometime, mine is 1 month old its still in place but my friends has came off completely he had to stick it back with duct tape but I am hoping I can avoid doing that and want to go with a replacing, an Amazon...

I have disabled it from windows I had no idea it should be disabled from BIOS! Thank you.

I am using Sound Blaster Zx's amplified headphone output.

Before buying the HD600s I've read in most reviews that they can reveal flaws in recordings and now I can't believe how some of the music I listen to has some flaws, I am using it with Soundblaster Zx, especially I can hear very light buzzing in the certain parts of the tracks (it can be part of...

Thank you all for your suggestions! I tried Foobar and Musicbee and I can feel they are slightly better than Winamp and Windows Media Player, but the improvement is definitely noticeable, before buying the HD600s I've read in most reviews that they can reveal flaws in recordings and now I can't...

Sound Card = Soundblaster Zx Headphones = HD600, HD598 Software that I'm Currently using = Winamp and Windows Media Player Thanks in advance.

So can I just plug 598 to the normal stereo output and get better sound?
