got my 497's .. questions

[hellomcfly]

got my sennhieser hd 497's this afternoon and they sound alot alot better than my old sonys ... but i have acouple questions

1. would i notice a differance if i plugged them directly into the back of my sound card .. rather than the headphone port on my speakers ?

2. is there another set of headphones around the same price / quality which complely cover my ear not this "open air" kind .. these are just not comfortable at all to me .. ( maybe it is just something i have to get used to .. but right now i dont like it)

3. would newegg let me exchange ?

thanks for the help Mister X

i think im just gona try to stick it out .. and keep these for now .. the restocking / shipping fee just does not seem worth the hassle for this small of an item ..

hopefully i get used to them

if not maybe my brother will like and take them off my hands so i can get the 280's

Try stretching them out for a day or two... it usually helps.
