   Good mofu morning fedi, my headset died completely this morning, the cord got snagged by my chair and they took a dive straight onto the floor, where they were then kicked because I have shit reflexes and tried to catch them with my foot so they wouldn't hit the floor. Now the mic doesn't work at all anymore, and the left ear has had something damaged badly, as it sounds really muddy now and I can hear something rattling every time the bass starts playing :jahy_pain:
   
   Fortunately, the new ones are apparently coming in tomorrow instead of Wednesday, so at least there's been some good news today. Now I just gotta hope they're actually good and not just audiophile bait :awoo_worry:

     I looked around a bit, but the HD599 is apparently low-end enough to not get a whole lot of attention from what I saw. Admittedly I didn't do a super deep dive, but I don't know of any dedicated forums for this kind of thing, and most of what I found through searching was either sponsorslop or focused on a similar but different product. At least in the Amazon reviews every complaint I saw boiled down to "I can't believe these open-back headphones leak sound!!" or "not enough bass!!", so I'm pretty sure they'll at least be serviceable even if they aren't perfect. That's why I went with Sennheiser to begin with, from what I understand they more or less don't make bad headphones, period (even if you really have to pay for that quality :snale_pain: )

     Did you check audio sites or forums? Even though there are plenty of audiophile goobers, there are guys who do give good information.

     :ohiocured: snekbro, it lasted a good long while, much longer than some of the others I've had. I'm just hoping the replacement isn't dogshit now that I'm basically stuck with it if I want audio. It's Sennheiser, so it shouldn't be bad, but I know that "audiophile" stuff can be very hit or miss for normal people, especially if it's one of those sets that wants a custom amplifier or soundcard to work correctly. Amazon didn't say that, but Amazon isn't exactly trustworthy with regards to page listings either. :akko_weary:

     What dac are you using? I thought about it but I really didn't want to spend another hundred bucks on top of what I already had, and my last set worked without one just fine.
