This headphone provides great sound quality with booming bass. It is also extremely comfortable to wear

Some mp3 players may find it too hard to pump any volume into these headphones. The closed-back style of the headphones leaks the sound to the outside

Headphones designed primarily to be used to listen to movie audio with, the Sennheiser HD 555s are a great addition to the collection of any ardent movie fan who wants to watch movies in private while getting the best sound possible. The open-backed...

Detailed sound, great mids and treble, comfortable

Leaks like a sieve, Bass was a little lacking

Offering a solid alternative to the Audio Technica A900s, the HD595s present a warm, slightly dark sound that will please many listeners.

Superb build and excellent comfort ; good sound quality

Unfortunately, not quite so good when compared with the Grado SR80is

Excellent, open on-ears that will last a lifetime – but there are better at this money

Great sound quality; very comfortable; smart headphone bracket included.

Extremely leaky; not terribly stylish.

The Sennheiser HD 595s sound smashing, and come at an accessible price. The open-back design has many benefits in terms of sound quality, but it does mean these headphones are very leaky, both in terms of your music leaking out and ambient noise...

Sound quality is outstanding. Not only do these headphones have a crystal upper range and powerful lower range, but the sound resolution is superb. These headphones allowed me to hear nuances in music that I never realized existed ; for gaming,...

I would say expensive, and bulky, but they are worth every penny ; it spoils you, you find flaws in all other headphones and stereos you listen to (even bose speakers)

Incredible sound. Works great with stereo, Nokia Nuron, etc ; Reminds me of Klipsch high end speakers

Wires. Spoils you for anything else. I'm currently looking for something to wear that is less obtrusive in the car ; I want THIS sound quality though

I've owned these headphones for almost 5 years now, and I still love them just as much today as I did the day I bought them. Fantastic sound quality, and while they do their best with an amp (I have a Xin Supermacro with OPA627 op-amps), they still do...

The 6.3->3.5mm requirement is a bit clunky for most uses. The open design means you can hear anything going on around you, and people around you can hear what you're listening to ; Not user-repairable - after five years one of the velour pads has...
