Default Senn 595's have landed! (Pics & First Impressions)

Well my 595's got in this morning ! So far I'm pretty impressed with the sound and build quality. These are the first headphones that have opened my eyes (or ears rather) to the audio world.

So I've tested them with some bass intensive songs, favorite movies, and some FPS' games and I gotta say they've blown my mind at times. There are things that I have never heard before that are now as clear as day I give a big thumbs up for Sennheiser for this pair
(On a side note, the leaking isn't as bad as some have been saying)
Next on my list is to get myself an ASUS Xonar Essence STX. Currently I only have the X-Fi card that came with my motherboard...

Now excuse me as I do some burning in in the mean time here are some pics for your viewing pleasure:

They did actually. I ordered the cans from Amazon and I wasn't sure if they would come with the holder or not but everything was new so there they where.

150 hours on my 595's and they keep getting better. really opening up. Are these cans only for the PC? think about getting a headphone amp if you use your cans elsewhere.

I am enjoying those as well
Good luck with the 555's. You won't be disappointed, I've heard they are pretty close to the 595's.
