You should try heading to Tullamore where they're made at Sennheiser HQ
Got a NAD amp off gumtree yesterday, plenty powerful for my AD700s. Hope it sounds good with the HE-400s. Have a Kenwood amp in the works too.
Be interested to hear what you think of the Nad amp with your headphones. I love how my 302 sounds through my speakers but was never that impressed with its headphone out so got a separate headphone amp for that. Good choice on the CD player btw.0 -

Hope ye don't mind me jumping in with a request but I don't see the point in starting another thread...
I've currently got a set of ATH-M50 which are great but they hurt after an hour or so wearing...big head
I use a set of Bose IE2 for when I'm in work on the laptop or when I'm listening on the go connected to the phone.
What I'm looking for is a replacement set for the ATH-M50
What I want is:
Noise cancellation, I'll be flying a lot with work from the new year
Good set for gaming, surround.
Comfortable
I'd like to keep it under 400 if possible.
Any suggestions?0 -

Have you tried stretching the ATH-M50 out? How long have you had them? As mentioned earlier in the thread my Superlux were quite tight so I put them on a very thick book for a couple of weeks (probably only needed a few days though) & they were far more comfortable after that.0 -

DT770s like reviewed at the top of this page

I think the dt770 fit the bill apart from the fact I'd like active noise cancellation.
I've been reading the reviews recommended....thats some page marko93!!
I think I'm down to these few....probably going to get slaughtered by the audiophiles
Sennheiser MM550X
Sennheiser PCX450 (battery life might be a problem)
Bose Quietcomfort 15
Parrot Zik
Audio Technica ATH-ANC9
Anyone used any of these? Thoughts?0 -

Possibly seen of the greatest things in life today;
Was in the TkMaxx in town and some ole lad and and his son(around 40ish) picked up the Denon AH-D510, the ole lad questioned the son and asked if they'd be any good for his music etc, the son had no idea so said, "sure we'll open them and try". I couldn't help but stand and watch, because peoples reactions to music and headphones etc is actually something I find exciting. Anyway, the ole lad searched through his iPod for a track he wanted and pressed play. I've never seen someone smile so big. Stood for about 5 minutes and just turned to his son "So, that's what that really sounds like, never heard that kind of detail.." He took them off and went to put them back, and the son, was like, "What are ye doing? Don't you like them", and he replies, "I do, but have grandkids to buy for as well" What happened next just gave me the biggest smile ever. "Well sure Dad, I have to look after you, Happy Christmas"
A Father and Son walked out happy, and I walked out with some "Man Tears" rolling down my cheek.
Sometimes you just gotta love Hi-Fi gear.
TL;DR It's the little things
On topic, man my AH1100s are banging. In love with music all over again 0 -

Hey man, how did you get on with the Superlux after?
I will never invest serious money in IEMs again.
Shortly after I gave them back, I seen some Denons in TKMaxx of all places and picked them up and fell in love. The bass in them was overbearing at times but with the eq set to bass reducer they were excellent.
Then I plugged the Superlux back in and well, they're still plugged in :P
They do so much right, and so little wrong.
My audio knowledge is limited so I'll try!
I'll start with what I think is the easiest to write about.
Bass:
On first audition it provided a good deal of lackluster. Nothing to impress, I enjoy my bass so it left me wanting more. 50+ hours later, well I'll be damned Jimmy, we're onto something. It's alive! The headphone feels alive, I can only describe it as fun. Punchy and somewhat accurate?
Mids:
I've only ever owned headphones with somewhat recessed mids. So i'm not quite sure how these stand up to a lot of headphones. Compared to the Denons AH-D1100 I can notice a major difference and to me the music seems somewhat more full? Again, when I can notice it, I love it! So another bonus point for the Superlux
Highs:
I used to own a pair of UE TF10s, if any of you are familiar with them, you'll know about their highs. I found them quite unbearable for the most part. When I first opened these, I found that same high screech as I had in the TF10s. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and carried on with listening/burning in. Now, 50+ hours it seems tame? Perhaps I got used to it, but it's just not sounding as screechy and uncomfortable as before!
Sound Stage:
Sorry, haven't the first clue on how to judge this! :P
I can say it doesn't feel compressed? It feels a good deal open and spacious? I'm not too sure :P
Isolation:
Limited. Can hear most things around me, hell I can hear this as I type it! They're not for outdoors but suitable for indoors
Comfort:
I find them quite comfy, and a bit loose. Head doesn't feel like it's being pressed on all that hard. Earpads do make me sweat a bit, but it's bearable! I hear AKG pads are far better? Will look into that.
Build Quality:
Made of plastic but seem rather sturdy. No problems yet, detachable cable is a nice addition.
Bang for buck?
Certainly, for the 35€ I paid for them, I'm certainly getting my monies worth!
Are they perfect?.. No.
Did I expect them to be?.. No
Am I delighted and listening to a lot of music all over again?.. Yes, sweet baby jesus yes.
Verdict:
They leave me curious as to what High-End gear sounds like, if these can sound so good. Would I buy them again, certainly, they're excellent for the price.
Look, I know this isn't the best review you'll ever read, or all too good. So my apologies if you find it shíte.

Just an E17 for now, might setup my E9 as well and see does it help.
They're only 35ohm, so easy enough to drive.
They're definitely on my most wanted list. I've heard very little (if any) bad reports on them. Going to need to convince the missus that I "need" another set of cans! Enjoy and let us know how they are after a bit of time with them, if you get a chance. 0 -

Haven't personally heard the E17 myself so can't say for sure but it's got pretty good reviews. I think the higher price might be because the E10 is a simpler unit rather than the E17 having a massively better DAC. Personally I'd prefer the look of the E10 anyway - rotary volume controls ftw!
I made a custom little unit that goes under my monitors(wall mounted, and screens not speakers ) that'd be a perfect home for the e10.
Dont have the cash but very tempted to hit buy on that :rolleyes:0
