Great Entry To Audiophile Headphones [Posted on 2008-05-09]
These are Sennheiser's entry level audiophile headphones. They are excellent in sound quality, bass performance, and soundstage. Since they have an impedence of 50 ohms, most any device can power them from a portable mp3 player to an integrated amplifier. They are comfortable, lightweight and stylish. The HD595's are a step up and competitively priced.
I really cannot fault these headphones in any way. They are not closed headphones, so others may hear noise as you listen. Not a lot of noise, but it is there. You may find your ears get a little hot if you listen for extended periods of time. That is a good thing as we all need to remember to give our ears a break periodically.
Many audiophiles recommend burning in your headphones. There are many ways to do this. The objective is to have all the components settle in and perform at maximum efficiency. I can't say that my ears are finding major changes in the sound quality as I pass the 100 hour mark. My suggestion, listen to them and enjoy them.
Overall, the HD595's are an excellent value and will provide years of pleasurable listening.
Wonderful headphones [Posted on 2008-05-10]
These headphones are comfortable and with great sound. Although the earbuds that came with my cD player work great they hurt my ears so whenever I can I use headphones. These are wonderful.
Excelente sound but shared! [Posted on 2008-06-16]
Wow! These are a great headphones great response and quality, but the sound escape from the sides so people talk to me all the time that They dont want to hear my noise! so, not are good for a office enviroment.
Excellent for music and gaming. [Posted on 2008-06-17]
These are some of the best headphones you can buy at this price point.
The sound coming out of these is amazing. Very clean and balanced.
Anyone who says there is too little base is probably use to the over-emphasized base that spews out of headphones designed specifically for portable use.
Bass is not suppose to overwhelm the music. It is only PART of the music / sound spectrum and should not be booming. That is not how it was recorded.
Also, if you are on a tight budget, get the HD 555. They have a very similar sound, but not as refined.
If you can spar the few extra $$$, definitely go for the HD595.
I listened to both side by side and at first it was hard to hear a major difference between the two. I then had my wife try them....she has a better ear for tone, pitch, etc than me....and right away she said the HD 595 were much better overall.
The B.E.S.T. [Posted on 2008-07-03]
I've been looking everywhere for sound like this.
I went out on a limb and purchased them without having listened to them before but only because no one around me sold them.
I must say it was the greatest decision ever.
Gives true sound, front row-like reproduction, amazing.
These are audiophile headphones, so they're not going to produce banging bass naturally, unless you pair then with an amplifier. With an amp, you can make them sound pretty much however you want. And of course, they will still sound great.
You can hear everything. I mean everything. People in the background (like a jazz performance), deep breaths being taken by the singer, and absolutely nothing is muffled or overpowered.
There is no comparing the sound of these Sennheiser headphones. And especially at the price here at amazon.
I almost forgot that they are also extremely comfortable. Sennheiser, along with their sound, is always praised for their comfort. The earcups are encompassed with a screen like plastic cover and a chrome trim on the outside. The inside is lined with microfiber fleece which is very soft and comfortable and it also allows listening with glasses. The band of the headphones, which rests on the top of your head, is lined with a thick but soft leather pad. You will forget that you are wearing these headphones easily. They will not hurt after long periods of listening sessions, and they will not become hot and steamy inside the earcups because they have an open-ear design, which also means that whatever you are listening to will be easily heard by people around you. When you are blasting music through these cans, they could easily be mistaken as speakers in a headphone shape. Therefore, these are not at all for public use and i wouldn't recommend using them in a car unless you are alone.
Warning: The 1/4 to 1/8 mini plug adapter does cause strain on the connection between the adapters. With that being said, you might want to purchase another adapter, or just use an 1/8 mini plug extension cord so that the connection between the included adapter can lay on the floor or some flat surface.
Note: the strain is not at all tremendous but you want to avoid strange events if you can, although these headphones do have a 2 year warranty.
Use with the iPod: pretty good. Some people say not to use them with an iPod, but you will be fine. Especially with the newer iPods because their backs are curved which allows easy insertion of the plug.
Included: a little clip thing that can be placed on the edge of a shelf or a table and then you hang the headhones on it. Looks quite elegant actually. Even the clip is encompassed in leather for a "prestige" appearance.
The adapter.
And the box also can act as a storage container because it can be locked by means of sliding cardboard hooks.
Recommendations: As with all great cans, you do need to "break-in" these headphones. I recommend 30-60 hours. You will notice a tremendous difference from listening to it right out of the box. The drivers will become more fluid in their movement, and the response will be spectacular.
Also these headphones sound great by themselves, seriously. But...a speaker amplifier/headphone amp makes these bad boys shine.
Even a sound card on a comp. sounds great with these.
Please buy these headphones if you always seem to be unsatisfied with every headphone you try on. I cannot stress how great these are especially for the price. (Let's thank amazon for that. When I bought these Digital Media Source had the cheapest price for new).
