Wow. You really know sound
Getting good sound seems more complicated than I thought. Just the idea that you get better sound by changing the Sennheiser HD600 cable seems weird. Why can't you get perfect sound out of the box with the HD600...? At that price Sennheiser should provide the proper cable to unleash the headset's full sound capacity. And a headphone amp as well? So the sound coming directly from my computer's sound card will not give me the best sound?
Confusing
I have never researched this too much. I really don't have the cash to buy expensive headphones or speakers. At least not until I too have won the lottery
Until then I am satisfied with my Bose headset. What kind of Bose headset do you have? I went to the store and listened to both the AE and the OE. The OE sounded a bit better than the AE, at least according to my hearing that day
So I went for the OE, but still can't understand why the AE should be less good? The AE is slightly bigger, but that is probably just because of the "around ear" design. Maybe I didn't like the AE as much because the speakers were further away from the ear. The OE forces the speakers closer to your ears, giving more direct sound. I'm note sure. I'm just thinking out loud
Maybe I should try the HD650 or the HD600 some day. The HD800 is definitely out of my price range!
I would however like to listen to them one day if I get the change. Just to hear what kind of sound it has. I'm not sure if the hifi-stores have these expensive headsets available for testing...
