I sent the headphones back to senn for repair last year and they also gave me new pads, so stock.

I seem to get an annoying issue with pretty much any headphones I use and even earbuds after a while where my ears get really hot and uncomfortable. It feels like I am wearing fucking earmuffs. I have heard "air cooled" headphones might be good, but I am not really sure where to start on good ones. Any ideas? If not that, anyone know what can be done with getting overly hot ears with headphones?

So where do you get your chopping boards from?

Off amazon, Boos.

>slightly better than hd600

they didn't invent internet in australia for part of population? good deal

They are measuring DACs not too far of to say they are a inbred tribe of filthy DAC measures try to establish some kind of monocrac.

>anyone know if this will change the sound for worse?
it will change sound, for worse or better only you can tell
most people say for worse.
I want off sennheiser train just because I need to change pads once a year, and they are $40!

me too, I wear mine so much they're basically always flat and filth, worst part about this headphone

>tribe
Give em a bath my dude.

could have bought stax

I bought mine 6 years ago I didn't know about stax then

time to buy stax

I'm going to soon I think, waiting to see if the d50 is any good since I need a DAC

>waiting to see if the d50 is any good since I need a DAC
no you don't.

half of the time I'm using my computer it's on my thinkpad which has an awful headphone jack and really bad sound, I definitely need a DAC

strap a fiio a5 to it, it's an amping problem not a dac one

is that pcfactory?

I wash them monthly. and lint roll them weekly.
sennheiser pads suck.

So these hucksters measure dac from Esoteric, DCS, MSB, Ayre, Berkeley Audio Designs etc. or just entry level garbage?

I feed it into my stereo receiver right now and it sounds really bad, I get all kinds of cracking and popping

50.000 pesos as a max, but I guess I can save for more. I don't know other good stores around here (Puerto Montt).

it will take 2-3 months to arrive and you may have to pay taxes (26-30%), it should still stay within your budget and they're better than anything at that price range
you can also buy the Koss KSC75 from amazon, they're really good and really cheap

don't have to prove anything to anyone

good but overpriced, massdrop plus iems are a better value, if you don't need them to be closed the stax iems or audeze lx if you use an iphone

You’re reeling in buyers remorse, eh

Congratulations for owning one of the best headphones on the planet.

SDR modded too :3

fuck argon user actually does exist

i thought he was a myth this whole time

So how are they? I still can't decide whether I want the HD800 or SRS-3100 as my next upgrade...

is there any good bluetooth headphone under 200$

These are the measured changes on the HD600: dekoniaudio.com/frequency-response-curve-new-dekoni-sennheiser-hd600-pads/

Why do you think he can give you an opinion on the hd800 vs srs-3100?

The sounds is clear, sharp and precise.
Instrument separation is also very accented.
You can hear exactly where sound comes from, due to the soundstage on the headphones.

I listen to lost of electronica and metal in general, but have taken a liking to live recordings now because the HD800 can bring all the detail out and front.
footsteps, finger picking, coughs, chit-chat on the backgrounds, etc.

I'd say try both before you set on something but I'm definitely liking what I'm hearing with this cans.

What makes you think you can?
Own any of those headphones faggot?

nice stax

I want to lick her feet

I've heard both actually and can prove it, but I wasn't giving an opinion on them so why should I need to clarify that to you?
