The Monkey Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 What are you worried about? I don't know if the Pimeta will cut it until the eagle lands... Quote
Nebby Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 That definitely doesn't sound right, esp. for something right out of the box. Quote
n_maher Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 I don't know if the Pimeta will cut it until the eagle lands... I have another option for you should you find the Pimeta inadequate. Of course this raises the question as to where the balanced mini3 went to? I can't keep track of you lawyers and your gear whoring ways. Quote
The Monkey Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Good point re the Mini, which is still perched next to me, but I don't think I want to balance the cable then use an adapter when I go back to single ended. Though I suppose it would be nice to have the option... Quote
kelvinz Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 That doesn't sound right at all. Send them back. kelvinz, mine do not creak like that. :palm::palm::palm: Great sending a email out to Headroom now hopefully this is painless Quote

boomana Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 I don't know if the Pimeta will cut it until the eagle lands... One of my biggest surprises at CanJam was how good the HD800s sounded with and ipod and the new millet portable, since you know how prejudiced I am against portables, amps and sources, with the other flagship Senns. Maybe the pimeta will be fine. I know I'll be plugging mine into the pico tomorrow. Quote

grawk Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 I had a 4pin put on my hf2 at canjam (thanks nate and thrice) even tho I no longer own a balanced amp. More flexible Quote
The Monkey Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 I had a 4pin put on my hf2 at canjam (thanks nate and thrice) even tho I no longer own a balanced amp. More flexible Ok, so based on grawk's post, here's my dumb question for the night: If I reterminate the HD800 and/or the HF-2 to a 4-pin XLR, then I just need to get a 4pin-->1/4" TRS adapter for single-ended use, correct? Quote
grawk Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Yup. I ahve a 4pin extension cable, a 4pin to mini and a 4pin to 1/4". I used to have a 4pin to dual xlr, but a lawyer in cali stole it. Quote
The Monkey Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Looks like I'll be doing some soldering soon. Thanks, Dan. Quote
grawk Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 talk to nate and thrice about what it takes to do that senn cable Quote
Eric5676 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 This is really dumb and I'm not sure if it matters or not but here goes: When I registered my headphones on the Sennheiser site, it made very clear that it wanted a 6 digit serial number. The serial number on my headphones is 5 digits. There was a 6 digit serial number on the box and that's the one I used despite that number being different from the number on the headphones. Any big deal? Incidentally, I haven't seen a peep yet from Sennheiser confirming that registration. I registered mid day last Friday. Quote

I just added a extra leading zero to my S/N to make it six digits. Quote
boomana Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Mine just arrived and are on my head now. Tested for creaking and other unhappy noises. Fortunately none, but damn they smell....er....not great, but then I hate new car smell also. Quote
Hopstretch Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Mine are out for delivery right now. C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! Quote
Eric5676 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 I just added a extra leading zero to my S/N to make it six digits. Which is probably what I should have done. Oh well... Quote

Is the stock cable really as inferior he claims? Not that I don't trust him, I'm just curious about others' opinions. Depends what you think about Senn's decision to use silver plated copper cabling. It initially suggested to me that they had put some thought in to the 'sound' of their cabling, but then again it might have been marketing junk. I can't really believe that with all the other work they put into these things, they didn't bother to use an appropriate cable... Quote
TheSloth Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 What is inappropriate about the cable? That's what I was asking in a rather round about way... Quote
Hopstretch Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 I seem to recall Nate saying, after reterminating several of them at CanJam, that it appeared to be entirely adequate in both materials and construction and that he would not personally bother to change it out. Quote
HeadphoneAddict Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 I'll recable my K1000 before I do the HD800. Quote
