SENNHEISER HD 500 3.5mm/ 6.3mm Connector Circumaural Headphone

 

These are good headphones the sound is awesome, they fell great on the head and u can wear them for long periods of time. Only thing i dont like about these headphones is even though they cover your whole ear, u can still hear things from the outside,...

OMG, these headphones are very crisp and clear. Everything sounds wonderful. They are huge. These headphones sound good in bf1942, music, movies, everything compared to my planetronics Audio 90.

SENNHEISER HD 500 3.5mm/ 6.3mm Connector Circumaural Headphone

 

killer phones. I agree with guy below i probably wouldn't have bought at the current price despite how great they are. I would have gone with 497s or gone up to the 580s which also were alot cheaper a while back.

very pretty

 

I was one of the lucky few to get these at $50, although i must say that i probably wouldn't buy them at $90... not because they aren't worth it, cause they definitely are, just cause i'm stingy :/ but yeah, these are great headphones. The sound is...

Got these puppies today. They are very comfortable and fit around your ear rather than on top of it. They sound great. My initial impression is that this product is top notch. I had bought the aopen $12 phones that newegg sells but they were very...

I bought these a few years ago on impulse without listening to them first. I had owned several pairs of Sennheiser phones in the past, and I figured if I didn't like the way they sounded I would give them to my twelve year old as "gaming" headphones. ...

Sennheiser HD-500 Fusion Headphones

 

These "cans" are getting unfair reviews. Granted that, as most people are saying, they can sound very boomy, muddy, and have too much bass, to a very large extent there is a good reason for this. Sennheiser's are known for needing a good driver, and...
