I'm talking to the big head people, like me, who goes hat shopping and tries on multiple L/XL one size fits all stretch hats.(not talking about adjustable hats) Then walks out with nothing, because they were to tight. Or at least if you own/used the PC 360's and 598's Question: Do you...

I just ordered the HD595 and I'd like to ask just how big of a change I would like to expect in sound quality coming out of a laptop/ ipod touch 2g with 320k Mp3. Currently using Hd201 and Ksc75 Thanks for all replies:)

First of all, this is my first post, and I'd like to say hi.  And yes, I already feel sorry for my wallet, as I've been lurking around here for awhile now. :P   But back to my question, I bought a pair of PL-50s a few months back, and am now in the market for some higher-end IEMs.  (At...

Hey,   I was wondering what a good headphone would be for under $150-200 or so...mostly I listen to ambient/instrumental music and need a headphone that can pick out all the tiny details in a track. I don't mind if they're open or closed but do not want TOO much sound leakage if they are...

im looking into getting one of these, i will take other suggestions aswell though just keep it around the 100 dollar price range. and if you guys know where i can buy these for a good price let me know as well

I acquired this device finally as of yesterday, have put around 8 hours into it now, and I have some questions about it I was hoping other users could help me with.   - Does the stock USB cable it comes with need to be replaced, or is it sufficient? If I were to get, say, NuForce's Impulse...

Hello there, guys! I am looking to buy some new headphones for my sessions as I will apparently will not always be always to use my home theater for a few months and still want that great sound. I review a lot of games for a site that are typically action-oriented so superb quality is a must. I...

Alright, so I currently have Sennheiser HD 380 Pros (54 ohm), which I mostly listen to off of my desktop. My desktop is a 4 or 5 year old HP with a 4 or 5 year old sound card. Now my questions are these: 1. Do I even need an amp? 2. I'm looking at Sennheiser 595s (50 ohm), would those need...

What's Happenin' All   After much deliberation I've decided to sell my Alessandro/Grado MS2i's and pick up the HD650's. I'm not fluent in Audiophilese yet so I'll just say that while I dig the MS2i's (very detailed, great for rock), I found myself simply enjoying the sound of my HD595's a...

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a new pair of $100-200 headphones that completely cover the ear. I've been doing some research of course, and I've come up with either the m50 and the senheisser hd555/595 (I'm aware of the mod thing). I'm probably going to go with the m50 because isolation is going to...

Looking for the best price for Sennheiser HD650.  So far the best price has been Music Direct for $449   Music Direct $449 http://www.musicdirect.com/product/74263   If I need to I will get HD600   HD600 Abe's of Maine $319...

Hey guys,   I've read the forums here for a while. Based on recommendations here I purchased a pair of Klipsch S4i and they were fantastic, right up until I somehow lost them. Now I'm headphoneless and to make matters worse, I need two pairs. With a baby on the way, I can't exactly rock out...

I posted in the "Buying headphones? Seeking guidance? DON'T START A NEW THREAD. Ask for advice HERE" thread but did not get much traction due to the influx of advice posts. I did get one suggestion and found a few others I was interested in, so I thought I'd post a shortened list so I could get...

After some pretty exhausting research have finally chosen one of two Sennheisers above. Right now money is tight, so if anyone can tell me if there are any discernable differences between the 595 and 598 I would much appreciate it.  I can pick up the 595 for about $150 new or $90 refurb and the...

I am looking for some new cans (duh).   The particular problem I've run into is I want to keep it under 200$ I have fond the AKG at right at 200$   My total budget is 209$ which is basically enough for the 601's and the mic I want.. I was reading that the 701's were powered by a mixamp...

I just received my fiio E5 in the mail today. I must say, I am having some really mixed feelings on it. Using my se530's with it, I cannot hear any difference. The only difference is that I can crank the sound Incredibly loud. The only reason(I think) to use the bass booster setting without...

I would like to share this one with you, since I have a misinterpretation choosing by no means a "really good" half a portable and easy to take away DAC Nuforce HDP. Am I going nuts in this issues or the others are experience the same one as well. Dry and flat sound, no bass, uninvolving highs -...

Hi everyone i am not a true audiophile but am looking for some good over the ear headphones.  Im going to mainly use these for gaming and i do most of my music listening through my pc. My price range is around $150 and dont want to exceed $200.  Also i dont use any amps because i am still new...

I recently purchased the Sennheiser HD555's after reading all the raving reviews about them. When i first received them they sounded okay, nothing too special but i realized i had to burn them in so i left them playing pink noise over nite for 2 days and i also listened to them through the day...

I played pink noise/frequency at 100 volume (max) accidentally with my Sennheiser HD595s for about 10-30min until I noticed. I'm not sure if it was there before but in a few songs I can hear a faint crackling noise. Will a simple 30 sec frequency test like 10hz to 30khz be able to show if...

Alright so I currently am deciding between three Sennheiser headphones: the Hd 380, Hd 558 and Hd 595. I will be using the headphones for my electric drums a lot but also will use them for my computer and Ipod. I know the 380's are the best choice for a musician trying to analyse the sound for...

Greetings fellow Head-Fiers! This is a short tale of my one-year quest to find the best possible gaming sound on a gamers budget. This tale is written from a gamer's point of view in spirit of solving some of the issues and questions gamers have when trying to upgrade sound on their PC-s...

I've just recently bought a pair of Sennheiser PX100-II's which I got for £25. I'm not sure what's happening but to my ears I prefer the sound from these budget cans to any of my other pairs (see sig). I don't know if this is because they're maybe easier to drive with my sources or it's down to...

Okay, first off I already own the ATH-M50 and I'm very happy with it, use it for music(electronica), buuut they don't perform well enough for classical (and I listen to a lot of classical). I listen to many other genre's as well but I'm looking for something specifically for my classical tastes...

Not sure what the proper name is, but why do some headphones (like the HD 650) have one wire going into each speaker, while others (HD 595) only have a single cable going into one of the ear cups?   What are the pros and cons, if any, of each style?
