Experience clear, crisp stereo sound with these headphones that feature computer-optimized magnet systems to minimize distortion. The headphones feature a detachable OFC copper cable and can be directly connected to high-quality sound systems.

How Often Used:3-5 times a week
Just received a terrific surprise from the big brown truck, the Sennheisers are here.
I happened to be listening to music on the speakers and was about 1/2 way through Stairway to Heaven.
Got these babies unboxed and plugged in right away, restarted the song and i am very pleased.
Went back to the Creative Aurvana Live headphones and the Sennheisers produce some sounds in the cymbals that the Aurvana Live do not have, I would also describe the sound to be more well defined. Maybe there is just more details that can be heard.
I have used the Aurvana Live headphones for several years and have always liked them a lot, but the 600's certainly reveal more details in the music.
Trying them on the iPad right now and I am satisfied with this too, can't really discern much difference compared to the AVR, But there could be some crispness difference in the cymbals.
Might also be my imagination on this.
To get about the same loudness as the creative headphones requires 2/3 volume vs 1/2 volume.
The sound is still better defined and more clear compared to the Aurvana Live headphones.
Admittedly I do not listen to headphones real loud and I have only been listening for about 45 minutes but I am not hearing anything listening on the iPad that would make me hesitate to make a strong positive recommendation that these work fine.
I seldom use my phone for music but thought I would give it a try, sounds different than the iPad and the AVR but the phone sounds different with the Creative headphones too compared to the iPad and the AVR.
Different is not necessarily bad, just different. I am on the third song using the phone and I have just about forgotten it sounds different.
Nothing I am hearing is objectionable to me.

Music on the home system (Pioneer VSX 23) is mostly .wav files on a hard drive connected via USB.
Music on the iPad is MP3s mostly @ 320Kb.
Music on my Galaxy II phone is MP3s @ VBR max 256Kb.

I had read elsewhere that indicated the lynch mob would be summoned if these were connected to a phone or iPod and even an AVR was of questionable value.
In my limited session I certainly do not find any issues with using these with a portable device or an AVR.

What's great about it: Sounds great
What's not so great: Nothing yet
I would recommend this to a friend!

Equalizer
I have a vsx23 Elite PIoneer Receiver would it be possible to add an Equalizer to the A/v need some help on that.....thanks
The VSX23 has built in equalizers for every channel so there is really no need to add an external equalizer.
Page 80 of the manual begins the description of how to manually adjust the equalizers.
If you have not run the automatic calibration with the microphone I recommend doing that first and then using the manual adjustments to fine tune the sound to suit your preferences.

what does satellite speakers mean, are they wireless?
The term 'satellite speakers' is often used to describe very small speakers intended to be used with a subwoofer.
These speakers are commonly sold in packages of 5 with a sub-woofer.
Most of the time all of the speakers are connected with wires, but there are some 'satellites' that are wireless.
I know this answer may not really help you. If you could say exactly what product you are looking at it would be easier to be more specific.

iam a 13 year old boy and iam getting a laptop i want one that can do games and that i can make videos what brand do i get
Just about any laptop with a webcam will record videos, if you are talking about using a stand alone cam-corder make sure the computer has the correct inputs (firewire is popular on cam-corders).
The real tricky part of this is the games. Getting a laptop that will really play games is expensive.
I would stick to the Intel Core 2 Duo processor and generally speaking the higher the number with Nivida or Radeon graphics indicates better performance.
If the budget only allows integrated graphics I think the Intel GM 4500 is the one I would go with.
