[flood]

I gave in and upgraded my Sennheiser HD-580s to the 600's.
I cant wait for them to get here! Carbon fiber lovin.

[DesignDawg]

Extremely-high-quality, ridiculously-overpriced headphones.

<----Has no idea about what you're talking about!

All I know is they're really expensive headphones...

 

[flood]

I was waiting for a deal on them, but I got tired of waiting. I forked over the $280 for them.

 

[VoodooExtreme]

/Me listen to Sennheiser also... but the &quot;not so damn expensive once&quot;

Still it sounds good as h£ll!

 

[flood]

VoodooExtreme- which ones do you use?

 

[VoodooExtreme]

HD 433

Use them listen to CD's or Mp3's at work, so there it sound excellent. There are just one small problem with them and that is that they leak sound so my people at work tend to get a little mad if I play music loud...

WTF! I've gotta see a review on them headphones. :Q

 

[flood]

ah, not too shabby. I owned those at one point, but gave them to a friend, as they needed them more. I used them as a pair I could beat up at LAN parties and such.

Audioreview
These are true reference sound quality- to match this accuracy in a speaker, you'd spend $10k+ and need a specially built and treated room to avoid room artifacts. From that standpoint, these are not expensive-they're a bargain! I use my two pair at home or office with M-F X-cans v2 amp- very delicious sound, even with a portable CD player as source. These are significantly better than others I have owned. Only the Orpheus is better in my experience(at $13000).

The top of the line Sennheiser headphone...it's simply the best dynamic headphone. Sound. Comfort. Everything.

ouuuuuch

 

[Cheapster]

Geez, do you live at home where you can't use speakers????? You could have invested that money is some 5.1 digital surround system instead.

 

[bolomite]

That much for headphones?! Wow.

 

[BDawg]

I've been very happy with my Sony MDR-V600s. Not as pricy as your Heisers, but they work very well!

 

[SuperGroove]

My HD545s are great...but I want HD600s...you lucky dawg you! I upgraded from HD525s. What a difference!

<Geez, do you live at home where you can't use speakers????? You could have invested that money is some 5.1 digital surround system instead. >

Im at college, and i DO have speakers. Monsoon MM-1000's to be exact. For $280, you'd get really crappy sounding 5.1. Sure, I could get 5.1, but it wouldnt be worth listening to. I got these headphones (and the speakers I have) for sound quality, not features.

 

[luv2chill]

I have Senn HD500s (modified) at home that work just fine... Of course I'd love to have the 600s, but couldn't justify the expense. Also, the dual cords on the 580s and 600s are bothersome.

Anyway, but my new favorites are my Sony 888 earbuds... these sound absolutely fantastic and don't hurt my ears either.

luv2chill-
How are your 500's modified?

 

[flippinfleck]

Wow, thasalata bills for a pair of headphones. But if they make you drool while listening to mp3's excesively loud, YAY FOR YOU!

 

[flood]

unlike some people (you know who you are!), I actually buy my CDs.

 

[bigbootydaddy]

dude we all buy cds.





cdr that is.

 

[randomlinh]

ouch, $280.. that would kill my pocket book I want the 495's.. i can realistically get those (eventually...)... my roommate has the 570's i think.. or something.. and i never realized they were cloth... and oh so comfortable!!!!

I have some cheap koss r100's for now ($35 shipped). I needed headphones, and something i can bring around to lans w/o worrying too much.. as my clonked my mdrv600's on the table and now they rattle stupid me...
