Thank you for showing me how the cable looks when not fully inserted. I read all the comments about needing to push them in completely and thought that was what I did, but thanks to this review I saw that both my sides look like your R side.. not pushed in all the way. Fixing this has made an absolutely huge difference for me and I find it hard to believe you didn't notice (as stated in the comments)...
It still had the same issues, and I returned them already. Possible reasons is that it became slightly unplugged when moving it to my review desk from my listening desk. But it was still muddy, still had staging issues (to my ears), and still had a problem with bass. Another possible reason is that this may have been a faulty unit.
The cables are not pressed in far enough into the cups. I can see it in the video, especially on the right, but the left too. Not being connected completely will make these headphones sound horrible. Give them a firm press. The cable's cylinder should be all the way in, recessed a little past the inside of the hole. They sound great. Tons of people are making this mistake.
@@nyvoreviews5443 At like 1:35 in your video look at the right input. The thicker part of the plug shouldn't be sticking out like that. You have the left side further in, but that one is still sticking out too far too. Just trying to help you figure it out. You still have an extra click to press past on both sides. I almost returned them because I thought the same thing as you, but these are great. I think I'll end up using them more then my HD 660s.
@@N3rdR4ge I know what you are saying, but after your comment I made sure it was fully inserted and turned it on and it still sounds the same. It may have come loose before the video when I moved it from my gaming desk to my recording desk.
Cable isn’t pushed in all the way, these can be very tricky to work in. I needed to use my nail to push the last bit in by pressing the portion right above the stain relief, that changed its sound significantly. The stain relief should be the only part sticking out. In your video it is the right side that clearly isn’t plugged, check 0:51 it was the same side giving trouble for me.
@@Enzo_560 need_rage already mentioned this, but that didn’t help the headphone after I made sure it was fully inserted. It still had the same exact problems after ensuring it was fully inserted.
this cans gave me one of worst rendition of violin, piano they sounded so thin and hollow.... a modern recording is like listening to 50s black and white version.. upper mid on this one is a disaster.... and vocal slightly muffled, not sure if i want to keep it
@@nyvoreviews5443I’ll bet that is an awesome pairing. Right now for headphones I am loving the Sennheiser HD490 Pros paired with my FiiO Q15. Compared to my HD600 set I have real soundstage with the HD490S. The 490s scale very well as you increase the volume. No shoutiness or treble frequencies that come and bite your head off…even at VERY high levels. My favorite IEM set is a XLS X-One, retuned by Michael Bruce to approximate the MiM Dark Magician (the X-One has the same transducer as the DM).
Good to see you back.

Just checked. They are definitely all the way in.
