Sennheiser Wireless Headphones: Sennheiser HD-555 Audiophile Headphones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This phone is the cheaper version of the Sennheiser 595s which are some of the best phones you can buy(at least under the 500 mark). The are remarkably similar to the 595s both quality wise and sonic signature. The 595s have slightly cleaner treble and bass but for a good bit more money.
THe 555s have slightly warm and foward sound with a natural soundstage, with excellent detail... though not quite as good as the high end level phones. They are efficient phones, in that they can be driven by sources without an amplifier.A lot of people don't know that phones have to burn in to reach the sound to which they were intended. So give em a good 100 hours of burn in at least before making conclusions.
For this price though, these phones blow away everything in it's class. I'm coming from the HD 497s and and if you thought those were impressive you have to try these...these are in a different class altogether. The 497s sound like garbage compared to these bad boys. Plus they are very very comforable. If your coming from those crappy basshead sony phones...I dare say you'll think your ears are decieving you... they are that good.
555s>500 dollar speakers...that simple. Highly recommended.
