hd555 discontinued now getting expensive.. u choose another..
i damn interested with hd555 but now the price hiked up

of course..
hd555 is still senns signature..
those looking for sennheiser sounding wont be goin for 558 or 598..

y they not goin for 558 or 598? since those model slightly better than 555..
my friend own it b4 & i tried really nice but not so comfort wearing hours.. bass is light but i'm ok with it..
his AGK 701 2nd hand damn awesome.. AKG701 >>> HD555

anybody here has tried aftermarket cable for senn hd650 beside symphonica? what cable did you try?

in what way is it better? u also did not understand what i meant by sennheiser sounding.
to some, less bass is worse.
also, akg701 is a higher model.. comparing with 555 is obvious.

sound lo.. i'm not pro but AKG sound more truth can said like that. i really don't understand wor..

Cannot compare AKG-K701 with HD555 la bro. HD555 is Sennheiser's entry level, K701 is flagship of AKG.

ok, i'll say akg k701 is better than rm10 cap ayam headphone. go buy it. makes sense?

doesnt matter u are pro or not..
but all manufacturer made their headphone to have a specific sound character...

so when trying all sony headphone, you will find it similar, no matter what range.
same is when trying all jvc, akg, sennheiser, beyers, etc..
that is what i meant as sennheiser sounding.

558 does NOT sound as other sennheiser would. its a totally different character.
and these does not take a PRO HEARING to know the difference.

and as for akg.. again, you are comparing rm2k+ akg k701 with a rm800 sennheiser hd555..
that's like comparing a bmw to a wira, and then claiming bmw is better.
even those who never drove bmw can already make some conclusion.

so which 1 better? 598 > 595 > 558 > 555?

thanks bro..

thx
for the record, go find in music garage sales,
got 1 selling new hd555 quite cheap
not getting this yet, im gonna try other cheaper ones first


arghhh if only i can try listen to these! not much choice if you're located in East Malaysia, Sabah

nobody's responding to my question. lol

reason why people don't reply you is maybe this thread is drowning....Anyway i did try upmarket cable for HD650 conclusion lousy. The worse one is the cardas cable even worse than Stock Cable HD650. So did u try symphonica?? Is yes did you compare with KO cable??

I have tried KO cable, but haven't tried symphonica

i thought you said you wanna meet cyber_speed and try the cable?
