For djing you need a closed back headphone, even a closed back with worned out earpads will cause leak problems. Headphone for Djing need to be powerfull and have a good seal around the ear, if its semi open it will be fighting against massive dbs coming from the main or monitor speakers. You cant compare the sound of a listening room to a club or venue with large loudspeakers and a noisy crowd. I use pioneer for djing, these sennheisers work fine for the control room in the studio, not for tracking of course.

Except that Sennheiser doesn't seem to know what BASS is. I wouldn't use those for DJ'ing.

synapticflowSweeping generalization! Much depends on the rig driving the phones. I suggest a balanced driver circuit for best low end. While older 300 ohm Sennheisers are less bass-oriented, the 6XX can provide plenty of bass. Plus, for ‘monitoring’ the goal is to have the phones represent the rest of the system so you want them ‘neutral’. Be careful with heavy bass from earphones - it is never the same as from speakers because you can't 'feel it' outside the ears. It is easy to damage your hearing if you try for the same sensation as from a kick-butt subwoofer.

FrancolargoNo offense intended. I've just had that issue with every Sennhesier I have ever listened to. I even wrote the company about it recently and they responded that it was something they are trying to improve. I'm not looking for boosted Beats bass. I just have felt that Sennheisers never provided enough of the bass that is actually there.
I have listened to the HD-280 Pro, HD-650, PX-100, HD25, HD300 and several others. I can't remember all the model numbers but every single one disappointed me. And I wish they didn't. I would like to love them. I can get a huge hookup discount on all of their products, but none of them ever impress me enough. My brother has a lot of them here in our apartment. He has the Momentum 3 still sealed in the box. Sennheiser told me that it is their deepest bass performers, but I personally do not due wireless. I remember listening to some techno on the HD-650 and I could hear them physically crying at the low end when I turned them up. (not deafening levels either) Now is it possible their owner had gotten some of his hair stuck in the drivers? Yeah maybe, but I just feel it was all the headphones.
Sorry again if my post was offensive. I was really complaining about Sennheiser, not about you using them.

I really recommend changing the earpads to the nice leather ones because the difference is so substantial I thought I could switch back to the normal ones but they are like cardboard in comparison

Ringing in PC38X's
I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x
Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.
