guy my cable just tear off, do u know where i can order replacement ?

which headphone/earphone ??order replacement cable for hd580,600,650?

If it is HD650 u can think of upgrading to symphonica...

Nice recommend here

im just a poor guy
with hd212 pro

not sure for replace cable for hd212pro...or do u mind to upgrade to other sennheiser headphone?like Sennheiser HD555,595? or more higher model HD600,HD650,but indeed u would spent more $$$ for upgrade cable,amp,sources.... ,For mid level...I recommend HD595~Personally I liked that Comfort,easily drive,balanced sound~even can upgrade SQ after amped,try to consider

add me in... HD280 Pro user here

Hehe~Correct me if i got wrong,HD280PRO is the Best of Monitoring Headphone in Sennheiser

not so sure is it the best or not... but its a close cup monitoring headphone... noise isolation is quite good...

you shud recommend em the hd555
a simple mod by removing some foam tape inside will convert it to 595 sound quality

u believe that? ...no idea for that

kinda sayang my hd212pro just a year, my second plan hd555 but deep bass quality not even meet my hd212pro.
hd595 totally out of my budget, any other recommend ? rm500 budget
i like deep bass stuff for house n club music, movie, not into gaming

If u prefer deep bass,i think even hd595 can't satisfied you so much,except you amped for it ,as i know,PX100 can perform great bass as well,but it was open design & portable headphone,it might be can satisfy you?

noob question:
how to know the bass level handle on headphone ?
base on frequency response ?

ps: i prefer closed headphone, better isolation

frequency response only tell you what sound is produce, not the amount. even very slight amount of sound is also counted as response.
hd201 is 20-22kHz.. very light bass.. headphone, big driver
hippo vb is 22-22000kHz.. very deep strong and layered bass, earphone, ultra small driver
most good speakers are 50Hz+.. but can produce ungodly amount of bass...

off topic.
sony MDR-XB700?

so... how to understand the headphone technical data(below my hd212pro data)

Nominal impedance 32 Ohm (this for ?)
Frequency response (headphones) 12.....19000 Hz (bigger/higher range produce more heavy bass, am i right?)
THD, total harmonic distortion <0,2 % (this for ?)
Sound pressure level (SPL) (this for ?)

Nominal impedance 32 Ohm (this for ?) - resistance of the headphone.. higher means harder to drive.. i.e, requires source with higher output and volume to sound well and not distort.
Frequency response (headphones) 12.....19000 Hz (bigger/higher range produce more heavy bass, am i right?) no..
THD, total harmonic distortion <0,2 % (this for ?) - how clean sounding the headphone is.. lesser means less noise, but i do not know how this is measure or how it is affected, and where.. techies will have to answer
Sound pressure level (SPL) (this for ?) - this is how much air the driver can move.. affects bass the most

believe in spec sheet all you want.. but i digress...
manufacturer never put all the details in spec sheet..
they always put something to look good. that is called marketing.

give HD280 Pro a try... im using it and it has quite good isolation and bass response

Those HD555 upwards audiophile headphones will need an amp. And amping them will present marvelous results. HD212 is more user friendly, simply plug in also sounds nice.
