Audiophile headphones at a reasonable price

Advantages: Great sound quality, comfortable
Disadvantages: Long cable, large connector, slight lack of bass

Introduction Sennheiser are a well known name in the music industry in terms for high quality, producing mainly headphones and microphones, both for businesses and personal use. The HD555s are one of Sennheiser's "audiophile" offerings according to the website, sitting between the HD515 and the HD595. Currently selling for £69.99, these are hardly the cheapest headphones, but with so many rave reviews around I decided it was worth at least ...
...needed though - why don't Sennheiser offer a shorter cable? The only place to get them pre-made is through audiophile websites, and these sites are hardly cheap - $70 for a cable? These negative points aside, I was still very much looking forward to trying them out, so I connected them up to my PC... Testing To test them, I decided to play 3 very different tracks, from a variety of genres. The first was Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5 In C Minor: ...

User test- Sennheiser RS120 Wireless Headphones

Advantages: Sound Quality, Cost, Mobility, Design, Ergonomics
Disadvantages: Weight

...bass response and like other Sennheiser models has a pretty clear 'top end' (or high frequency response). - I was pleasently supprised when they charge was finnished and I first tuned them in. The sound quality is obviously not as good as a pair of headphones costing 100+ pounds, but then you're getting them for around 60 quid, and they're wireless! - If you are after top quality studio or reference headphones, then the RS120's aren't for you. If ...
...that I've found with other Sennheiser models of headphone is that they don't look very 'cool' on your head....Don't get me wrong, the design in nice but they tend to look quite bulky on one's head....basically they don't hug the shape of your head that well, but then again this is purely cosmetic and it's not like you'll be wearing these out on the street! Functions / Controls: On the base unit there is only 1 switch. This switch allows you to ...

Where the search ends

Advantages: high quality sound, wireless and excellent fittness
Disadvantages: none as of now

...some amazing thing about the Sony MDR-RF860RK headphone. This is product so far surpassed my expectations as to what i noticed with the silence its got when theirs no music playing, the excellent high quality for the music it gives and it goes off when it receives no signals to conserve the batteries. The sound drops when the signal is interrupted and that's so good. The wireless headphone is highly recommended for lovers of loud music. It fits well ...
...you are moving around. It is very comfortable when you wear it. With the double use of rechargeable batteries and normal batteries makes it possible never to run out of charge. I have not so far have any disappointment with the headphone and i will say they are just where the music ends. Its just a perfect reach for a sound quality. ...

Unbeleivable.

Advantages: amazing sound quality, comfort is awsome.
Disadvantages: price

Ever been to a electronics store in search for headphones for your ipod or zune and the salesman has sold you seinheisser in ear headphones and promised they were good. Then you get home and try them out and the bass is good. the volume is good. their comfort is good. well... These headphones are a whole other level above anything i have ever heard in my life !. the bass is outstanding. the volume is unbeleivable and the comfort is like somebody ...
...that but the box in filled to the brim with add-ons extras and even a case. Things like the bigger headphone extender, a cable for listning as normal, a cable for iphones (bassically the same with a mic on it) and a cleaning cloth. The case is well designed and smooth on the inside to minimise scratching. Then there's the look. its like angels have crafted a pair of godly headphone out of unicorn fur and silk. Simply amazing. the price is a little ...

Impressive headphones but maybe not for everyone

Advantages: Great looks, classic design, strong build quality, amazing sound
Disadvantages: A bit too big to use with portable devices

...them out in my local Sony Centre and was simply amazed by the sound quality. I was used to the Sony MDR-EX71SLW in ear headphones which I used with my iPod Nano, and in comparison to those, the sound from the MDR-V 700DJ had much more depth and clarity. I was also impressed by the look of these headphones, the classic design still looks fresh even today. They felt comfortable to wear, and the materials felt strong and chunky, with an impressive feeling ...
...this first taste was enough to sell them to me, and I have now had them for over two years. I must however admit that they have not had as much use as I had initially intended, or indeed as they deserve. The main intention of use for the headphones when I bought them was to use them to listen to my iPod or phone on the train. The main problem I have with this is that they are simply too big for this function in my opinion, and the cable is too long. ...
