point form update
From: Jessica Murray <death.to.koalas@gmail.com>
To: the initial landlord
hi.
sorry about those rambly emails. i'm a reading person, and sometimes forget that other people aren't. so, you wanted this in point form...
1) the handle is really unusable. my options are between ice cold and steaming hot showers. the point in the middle that would be normally chosen is the point where the shower turns off. i've realized that if i turn it just a tad to the hot side then there's just barely enough flow to have a hot shower, but it's a problem on two levels - (a) i'm really showering in little more than a trickle and (b) it really is ridiculously hot. and that's coming from somebody that likes unusually hot showers. if it's too hot for me, it's absurd! so, i'm wasting all kinds of hot water...
i guess i can take a look at it myself, if you want. i have no idea how it works, though, so i'd be fumbling around trying to figure it out...
2) the little bit of moisture on the ground seems to just be condensation, probably magnified by the ridiculous temperature. i think the caulking is a little weak at points and could probably benefit from a second run. but that's not imperative. the shower is *not* leaking right now.
3) to clarify about the windows - they seem ok. i don't think they need any work. but i'd like to put some plastic around them anyways. it could save you a bit on heating, but what i'm more interested in is locking the heat in to boost the air temperature, whether it makes a difference for the thermostat or not.

Fw: Neue Anfrage aus dem Sennheiser Kontaktcenter vom 2013-11-03 [##SVS-Web-SK]

Thanks for writing.
Twenty years would be just about right.
There have been a number of successive generations to the 440 over the years, and if you're looking for an exact replacement, you'll be looking for a long time!
First: In that style range, there are no more supra-aural models. Doughnuts rule. The only supra-aural types are the more miniature 2** series. Pretty good headphones in their own right, but perhaps a bit petite for your requirements.
My recommendation, based on style, type and sound quality, not necessarily price or specs, would be HD 428 or HD 448. These are closed back models, as opposed to yours, but they acquit themselves well in overall sound. Wearing comfort and weight are about par.
If you need open style, you really have no choice but to move up to the 500 series. The 518 would make the most sense here. Quite a bit larger in style, these are considered *High End*.
All of this having been said,
Why not fix yours? You can get pads, you can get cables, you can't get capsules, but if they're still working, why ditch them? You know better than I do what shape they're in, but I'll put that out there.
(Interesting email address. Good thing I'm not a zoologist. My sister is, though.)
Kidding aside, need more info? Please let me know.
