HD 280 Pro not satisfied Options

[zerowalker]

Okay so i bought the HD280 Pro as i read it was good, with accurate sound and such.
But i am not satisfied with it, the first is the pressure it gives, it´s like i am on the verge of getting a headache, but still not getting one.
Maybe it will disappear through use, maybe not.

But more importantly, the sound.
even my Cheap AKG something, sound better with the bass.
Now i am not one who wants enormous bass or something, but you know, normal vibrations feeling kind of bass.
That gives you that feeling.

This just, sound like there is bass, but it isn´t there;S

I tried putting on some bass sound through the night, about 10 hours to see if there is any Burn In effect.
It does sound alot better than from when i first listened, cause then it was like a Tin Can or something.
But it still doesn´t give me that Real sound feeling.


sorry for bad explanation, maybe someone knows about these headphones?

I am thinking about sending them back, but i don´t know what to get.
I want something like this, isolation, more comfortable and better sound.


Thanks:)

Cushions can change their form. And , yes, I have my doubts about burn-in too.

It taked me a few months to understand the sound of HD 650. But it's not necesary because of burn-in process. Probably because it was my first audiophile-class phones.
It wasn't the case for HD 800. The sound has stopped to change after 2-3 days.

Also the sound changes a lot (huges differences) depending how You wear them. http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/tipstricks.htm
The main rule is: headphones should be put a little bit down from ear channel and a bit in front (well, the picture says it all)

Even an audiophile-class phones can sound inappropriately if You don't wear them smart way.

Well i do try to wear them like that, though i don´t really notice a difference, except if i move my head a gap is made. That makes much bass disappear.

But i was wondering about the High Pitch sound from the letter S.
It´s really annoying on these head phones on higher volumes, i do remember it annoyting on my other pair as well, but it was a bit better. The AKG cheap ones have a duller sound so it even that out.

Read that one said HD280 takes forever to burn in and the high pitch will even out eventually, but can someone clarify this?

Thanks:)

Well pretty much anything, nothing special;S

Okay, think i really need to return this for some others.
Whenever i try some kind of bass thing, i think hmm, it sounds okay;)!
Then i try it on my other two pairs, and they sound alot better on the Smash Bass, where the Hd280 pro sounds like hitting the metal disc.

I can´t think that burn in will make that much difference anymore;S

Not to sure about how it is with the policy of returning headphones.

Can i return them with that 30 days money back thing?

And as i asked before, what can i get for other pairs that is better?
Similar or a bit higher in the price range is possible:)
