SENNHEISER hd-595's are ear ***.

i snagged a new pair off ebay for like 180 shipped and just got them today.

and i am already in love. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/inlove.gif.6846f78f06b405429ef3a00129788a2a.gif

the only thing i dont like about them is the 1/4" plug on the cord, instead of the 3.5mm plug.

which means i have to use an adapter while using it on my mp3 player.

but that isnt really that much of a problem.

i also just ordered a little dot micro+ to use with my zune since the output on it is pretty low with these higher impedance headphones.

i just felt like sharing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

considering the best phones i have had up till now were some $20 sony cans these are just a little bit better. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

they sound so much better running off my onkyo receiver than they do off my zune.

but hopefully this amp will fix that.

Yeah portable units just don't have the right output to get the most from big 'phones.

i bought a zune because i want to have something to listen to while i am at work.

and there is nothing wrong with the quality, it just doesnt have enough power to drive these phones.

hence the amp.

i gotta question

i got Grado Sr-125's off of my yamaha reciever

will i benefit in any way by purchasing a dedicated head phone amp?

 

[~Magick_Man~ 10+ year member]

while i cant answer that i can say these are so much louder and just sound better overall running off my onkyo reciever.

most often than not, high quality phones usually benifit from a 15~20w amp.

http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/audio/6cd8/

eaither will work well, im guessing you could afford the origional T amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

mine is fantastic on my HD570's.

but i had to get a 3.5m to phono, and then phono -> bare wire and jack them all so i could input the phones to the amp. but it puts out 30w. *you also have to get a 12~15v 1a power supply for the $30 Tamp*
