Hello people. I am stalking headfi for a few years already (yeah, not all the time, got longer delay) because i love listening to music with quality gear. Now came the time when i find some money, so i think its time to get some new headphones. Now just to specify my choice a bit, maybe you...

Hey, I stopped using headphones 5 years ago cause I had a problem where my ear would always hurt inside afterwards, I've no idea what caused it but it started after I started using ipod earbudds, I went to doctors they didn't find anything wrong so I just switched to speakers and havent used...

Which headphones have more bass? Because I was using my turtle beach's and they had so much bass they were like the subwoofer's on my friends Skull Candy Skullcrushers.   However I do not like quality on either. So I was wondering how much the bass compared to the HFI-580? Anybody know?  

Hello all!     I finally messed up one my HD555's drivers doing a re-recable.    Instead of just getting the "standard" 555/595 driver, I was thinking I might go ahead and see if I can track down a pair of HD598 drivers, along the lines of linuxworks' "Project FrankenSixFifties."  Does...

So I managed to pull the wires off of one of the drivers in my HD 555.  This picture should give you a pretty good idea of the problem. http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/1996/1001298fm.jpg  I used some electrical tape to connect the wires to the solder joints, and it's working, but the sound cuts...

Hello i am new to site and the headphone world.  I have spent the last month reading about headphone amps after getting serious with headphones with gaming.  I picked up a set of HD555 which I know are not the best but they work for now.  I am wanting to do a little project I recently saw a...

Hey Guys i'm new to the forums here and i need your help choosing some headphones, I've got some sound stage modded HD555's and i love them through my X-fi sound card because i can turn up the base alot, However when i use them with my HTC desire.. the base is totally gone... And i can't use...

Yes, I know Bose equipment is overpriced for what it does but how is the Bose Triport OE version for $60?

which would give me the best performance, to my uses? music(more then gaming)- from acoustic relaxing music- to dubstep, deathcore, hardstyle and all that... gaming- FPS, mostly. at the first, i thought to take the hd555, but i understood he got lack of bass, for dubstep hard style and all...

I am very new head-fi and headphones, I now have a beyerdynamic DT880 600 and a Xonar Essence STX. Coming from an HD555 user what can one do to make sure he/she is enjoying the most out of the headphones BESIDES upgrading my setup. I'm talking more in terms of, listening and interpreting what I...

I've just recently bought a pair of used Sennheisers and now im having some very annoying issues concerning the balance of the headphones themselves. the right channel is completely gone but both sides are still playing the left channel... its really odd and very frustrating. ive checked over...

OK so these headphones are amazingly good, but i have a problem with them, i've not had them for very long (less than a year) and they are already cracked and look like they are going to break at some point. This worries me, i don't have the money for a replacement set, can i get the part...

Hi:   I have a pair of Sennheiser HD555 headphones that have served me fairly well. However, I have recently had a problem with a buzzing of sorts in the left channel, especially if I'm playing something loud or with lots of bass. Pushing the earcup against my head seems to attenuate it...

I'm currently using Alessandro MS1s, which are fine for general music use, but I have a hard time using them when messing with softsynths on the computer for hours on end because the sounds they make are very bright. I also feel like I'm not hearing the sounds properly when I make them so my...

Hey guys, I was thinking that you could help me here. I am just entering the audiophile world, absent much money<lol>. i had my eyes fixed on the HD555 for over an year, and now that i read the review, i think i'll be going for the HD558. The problem is, i use a phone for music and onboard PC...

New here but not to Mid/HI-End audio. I've just never dipped into the headphone pool.   I've been doing tons of research reading reviews here and on Amazon and I'm drawn to the Sennheiser HD555 due to to MANY saying it's a good introduction to High End headphones.   I know these aren't a...

To anyone has lived with both of these cans or used them on a regular basis.....   If you had to choose one over the other state your reasons.   Or do you simply prefer to use each on different styles of music or gear?   I want my first pair of open back phones and have narrowed it...

Hey, i'd like to be able to go to sleep with my headphones on, but i can't figure out how to do it well. First, how do you sleep on your stomach with a air of giant circumaurul headphones preventing you from turning you head slightly to breathe? How do you prevent the headphones from slipping...

  I am wondering if I should go with the sennheiser hd 555 (which is basically a 595 when you take out a piece of foam) or the ATH AD700 open (not closed back A700s). This is coming from a guy who has heard some budget cans such as the hd280, m50, and the budget iems brainwavz m2, etymotic...

I currently own the AD700 accompanied with my onboard soundcard. Oddly enough you guys might think, I think these sound amazing with just my standard Realtek Audio Manager functions and some enhancers in iTunes.  Anyway, I feel like wasting some money.        So I see HD 595 is $120...

Hey guys. I'm fairly new to all this audiophile stuff so please bear with me.    Here is my current setup:  FLAC > Creative SoundBlaster Audigy2 ZS (sound card) > ATH-M50s / HD555   Anyways, I've been thinking about getting a decent desktop DAC.  What would you guys recommend for me?  My...

So the right channel of my HD-555s stopped making noise when plugged into any source. Left channel sounds fine.   There's no visible damage that I can see so I assume it's probably a shorted or frayed connection somewhere.   I have a multimeter but I'm not sure how the different bands on...

Hey there! I feel kind of bad about asking this question because you guys probably hate it when people around here ask such questions, but in all honesty I have no idea what to do. Is buying Sennheiser HD 555 headphones silly if you already have AKG K-240 cans? All the local shops in my area...
