Summary: Excellent quality headphones 2008-11-30
Comment: These headphones are made out of a good quality fabric that cups around the entire ears, making them very comfortable for hours. Also, their design makes them especially comfortable for people who wear glasses. The cord is very long and the cushion for the cranium is nice. Great set, pick 'em up if you got the dough. :)

Summary: GREAT SOUND.....THAT"S ALL! 2008-11-26
Comment: i bought these as a recommendation from a friend after my bose headphones broke (great sound + cheaply made = bose). i was very excited 'cause all i have heard is how amazing senheiser is and how i am going to love them. well, i received them and tried them out and now i am sitting here writing this review with a pair of sony mdr-v6 headphones on cause i returned these. i bought the sony's at frys for 80 bucks and love them.......why, you ask? let's just say i was pretty disappointed in the senheiser headphones. the sound was great and if you care about NOTHING else, then you are cool. other than that, these headphones are:
1.) pretty uncomfortable to wear.
2.) squeeze your head and make your jaw hurt.
3.) block absolutely ZERO outside noise
4.) let everyone that is around hear what you are listening to. not just at high volume, but normal volume. my wife was able to sing along with the song sitting 10 feet away. not good for the office enviornment. you think i am stretching the truth a bit....just buy these things and come back and tell me i was right! :)

Summary: SENT THEM BACK? 2008-11-25
Comment: I believe these are good quality and I've owned Senheiser headphones before but I had to send these back. I got a hissing vibration sound in my left ear only in gamers DVD and other movies. It was not the loud clicking sound that means you have the bass up to high. The vibration sound was intermittent and I felt like something was loose. The only option was to get a refund from Amazon. I took the option to have UPS pick them up and I paid nothing. TIP: If you want UPS to pickup you better have the box waiting outside your door or be ready to chase them or they will just leave you a label and run.

Summary: step-up 2008-11-24
Comment: I decided to replace my aging Sony MDR-V6 monitor with the Sennheiser HC-555 . Wow, what a difference. The tonality and clarity is so much defined. The bass just presents itself, it does not overwhelm everything else. Great midrange. I have enjoyed them for several hours at a sitting. The comfort level is superior. I would purchase them again if I needed a second set.

Summary: Buy Grado SR60 and save yourself $30 2008-11-05
Comment: This one is overrated.
I own both SR60 and HD555. However, HD555 is somewhat disappointing. Sound is veiled when connected straight to a computer or mp3 player. For vocals, it sounds like someone is singing behind a curtain. It can even be difficult to understand the lyrics sometimes. When I connected this through an amplifier (one self made and one "bit head"), this goes away, and every word sounds clear and crispy. As a comparison SR60 doesn't care much whether amplified or not, and always performs very well.
So my point is: if you have to use this with an amplifier, why not buying something as good (or better) that doesn't require an amplifier? For similar sound quality (in my opinion, actually SR60 is slightly better), SR60 is at least $30 cheaper and doesn't need to be amplified, should be a much better deal if all you care is sound quality.
