try using different source, a CD player or your soundcard for instance. just to make sure it's the earphone's problem.

Im looking desperately for senheiser earphones..the best one..Anybody can help here since u all pro in this matter.

You can get all the high end models from Davis's bulk. I bought my HD650s from him.

got a lil question about the headphone burn in. Can v burn in the headphone seperately or must it be one go playing none stop for few days?

what do u mean by seperately?
if u understand what burning in actually does, by simply playing music you're already burning them in
no matter for how long or what kinda music or any volume

What i mean by my last question was. Must i play either any music for a few days none stop for 100 hours or can burn in seperately.

burn-in = wear out/saturates the driver/component. You don't need to do it continuously for a long period, just use it as normal would do.

thats wat i mean. thanks

u can surf around head-fi.org for-sale thread for 2nd hand hd650 if u hav lower budget.

And skip the burn in process which almost drives u insane

Enough with bose I see? welcome back to the lighter darkside

and get some decent amps from there too, and decent source, and sometime got decent cable as well

mostly, all are burnt-in already
can directly enjoy them without dropping a single sweat at cheaper price

One question,I left my headphones connected to an old pair of speakers for a couple of hours to burn-in,only to realise later that the speakers are a little faulty; at certain volume level the right channel become a lot less audible than the left.Does this make the burn-in on both sides of my headphones unbalanced?

it may be due to channel imbalance on the pot of your speaker, or possibly that your speaker has damaged the phone somehow. Try it on some other sources to determine if the channel imbalance is still present, or whether it only appears with the use of your speaker.

Sorry thats not what I meant,the phones are fine.The speakers are always like that.I'm just concerned about whether the volume imbalance during the burn-in would result in the right side of the phone to be slower than the left side in "burn-in hours".Which would make the sound quality of both sides to be unbalanced.I hope you understand what I'm trying to say

I wouldn't worry about it, grado's* channel matching is pretty poor anyway, and technically..they are never the same and I doubt you could hear any difference unless your pair's drivers are seriously badly matched.

*(i presume it's your grado?)

Yep,thank you very much for your replies!Its just me being paranoid again

hi there guys..
