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:)

I read about the ATH-M50 and one said he and a friend compared it to 280 after some burn in...

Again, burn-in doesn't hurt anything (if done properly), but burn-in is nonsense! Do you really think these reputable manufacturers are making such an unstable/unreliable product that the sound changes after a few of hours burn-in??? How can they publish specs if the specs change after leaving the factory? Why do audiophiles always hear an improvement, and never degradation after burn in? If the product needs burn-in to achieve peak performance, why doesn't the manufacturer burn-in before the product leaves the factory?

Where I work (non-audio electronics), we burn-in at the factory. This is not to improve specs/performance... It's to weed-out the early-failures before we ship. When everything's working properly, the stuff comes-out of burn-in performing exactly the same as before burn-in (within measurement tolerances).

I've never read an audio review where something tested differently after burn-in, and I've never heard of blind listening test where a burned-in model was compared to a non-burned-in model. This burn-in "magic" only happens in totally non-scientific, non-blind, listening tests where they have one copy of the item, making A/B testing impossible.

I don´t know, i myself think there is a difference, cause i tried a song which had som beats at the start, and then tried it next day, and it went form Klang to Bam.
One nicely but it that it´s like breaking in a new pair of shoes, and if it´s true, then i can believe in it.
But well i can´t tell if it´s true or not from my perspective.

But still, i need to know if the ATH-M50 has the warmer sound i want, as the 280 is too clear and cold for my taste;S
Or of course if there is any other comfortable headphones out there:)

Then why bother?

If you're to do something, do it with purpose
