HD555 issues

[1kiwi]

Guys,

I just recieved the above headphones last night and upon testing them with COD4 i noticed that while the sound was a little clearer (than my old cheep Sonys), however the sound of the AK and bass in general was quite tinny. Is this common?

NB: using Asus Xonar DX

Ok, sounds good. I havn't really changed the sound settings since installing my Xonar DX - any tips?

GT: The 7510, is that not just a preamp - do i not need a separate amp to power it? PS: Can't find it anywhere

EDIT: Found it, can be had from beresford direct for £107

And you have one? What improvments did you see going from the HD555's -> using a DAC/Head phone amp?

Thanks GT - i left them on over night to run them in and they now sound better - i must admit though that they do lack bass, especially when play DnB, Hip Hop etc

That amp looks horrible, truly horrible : Do yourself a favour and check the Darkvoice 336 amp, available from a few sellers off ebay. Will get one when I eventually get some HD600/650.

What the 7510?

No have moved one from the above amp some time ago mate - looking at a Beresford 7510 atm
