Disappointing

I had a pair of Sennheisers back in the 70's which were outstanding. So, when I needed to get some headphones to upgrade my old Walkman headphones, I assumed Sennheisers would be a sure bet. How wrong I was. While the bass was an improvement over my...

I'm seriously considering returning my HD56 headphones. I bought these headphones for doing yardwork to replace my intra-aural folding Sony headphones. I wanted something with a little more bass and more isolation from lawnmower and grasstrimmer...
