Well-balanced, truly wide frequency response
- Comments: If you have a relatively high quality sound system, these headphones will deliver clean, accurate sound. They sound great with lower-quality amplifiers also, but if your amp puts out any kind of hiss, these sensitive headphones will let you know.
These headphones output what you put in them with minimal distortion and terrific soundstage. Bass, midrange, and treble all sound amazing.
Important: When you first buy these, they will not sound very good until you let them "burn in" by playing semi-loud bass-heavy music through them for at least 100 hours. If you don't do this, they will sound like cheaper headphones unworthy of their price tag until they eventually burn in. This process "relaxes" the new magnets in the headphones.
If you would like to read reviews by people who call themselves audiophiles, I reccomend searching the web for forums that discuss these headphones.
Obviously, headphones of this quality may not be worth their cost to you. With headphones, as with most products, the cost goes up exponentially with increased quality, and isn't really paralled by exponential performance gains. Let rationaliy be your guide.
Amazing.
- Pros: Very clear and crisp with the correct sound card, loud, very high quality when compared to other headphones.
Plus the lining feels very soft =D
- Cons: Like others have mentioned, can rattle at really high sound levels, but to get there you would be putting your ears in dangerously loud levels of sound.
- Other Thoughts: I have the X-fi Xtremegamer paired with this, undoubtedly a must for games required the art of sound detection.
I've been banned from many CS:S servers for accused walling.
They're really soft =D

Comfy
- Pros: I haven't bought myself a good pair of headphones in some time. These do the trick. Most comfortable HP that I ever wore. And they're large, I have a big head (like Stewey on family guy) and there is plenty of headroom.
Great quality as well. I did a lot of research and the consensus is the HD555 are the best there are.
- Cons: Haven't found one yet.l
- Other Thoughts: I use these for late night movies on my PC and when I play games so I don't wake up my wife and kids. I can have these on load and the sound doesn't leak through to wake wife up.
Solid purchase
- Pros: I'm extremely satisfied with the fit, performance and build quality for the price of these headphones. Extremely comfortable with excellent range of reproduced sound. What more could you want? Whether the source is the onboard audio chipset from my six year old MSI motherboard or the 15 year old Yamaha amp in the living room, excellent spacial reproduction.
- Cons: They are so comfy I fell asleep one night about 3 months after I purchased these, listening (thanks to the 10' cord) to some music and I must've leaned on them too much. A small stress fracture developed in the left cup holding attachment - right through the brand-name. But it hasn't expanded in the last 12 months, so. Just don't fall asleep with 'em on. heheh
- Other Thoughts: I've tried a few headphones in the local big box stores and though I couldn't find the Sennheiser brand to test drive, I bought them on the reviews of previous purchasers. I would say that I'm average with my knowledge of audio performance, but I specialize in other areas, and I know what my ears enjoy. If you don't mind spending the money on a good set of very comfortable phones (I wear a size 8 hat) which don't cause ear sweat or headaches and deliver excellent sound whether on your pc gaming or plugged into your entertainment center, then these would be your selection.
Sound is incredible
- Pros: Awesome highs, mids and lows- all frequencies sound clearer than any other headphone I've tried. As I'm not a fan of noise-canceling phones (they tend to lack the range and they're overpriced), these do a great job of drowning out external sounds. These are soft and comfortable, and I've worn them for over 6 hours straight without any discomfort on my ears or head. The build quality is excellent, and while I'm careful
- Cons: While they are circumaural, they still have an open ear design (which is partly responsible for the crisp, natural sound). Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend these to people working in the office- you'll probably bother your coworkers. For that purpose, I'd recommend Sennheiser's lower-end (but still awesome) EH-350 headphones- unfortunate that Newegg no longer carries them.
- Other Thoughts: These are not the kind of headphones you put on for privacy- rather these are for audiophiles who want to hear every nuance in their sound. While I originally bought these to listen to music, they work incredibly well when gaming- just be sure to get a decent soundcard- most integrated audio chipsets lack the SNR for quality playback (Realtek 889 or better).
