Sennheiser HD 555

== 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?

Review of Sennheiser HD 555

Review of Sennheiser HD 555

...I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 457's at £26.99 RRP (25 - 21000 Hz) and even though they are approx. 5 years old I initially found that that the differences weren't as substantial as I would have hoped. I expected them to be three leagues apart from each other because you are expected to pay about three times as much for the HD 555's... To be honest they lacked a vital bit of luster that, for me, would justify a £99.00 price tag. Maybe I expected ...
...BIT OF BRILLIANCE..!) Now, with that said, after living with them for a couple of months my opinion has changed. As they have worn-in* over the past couple of months they have improved. Initially i felt that they could only deliver lean bass but as they have worn-in the bass has got - how shall i put it... - Juicier and more rounded. Overall, after 3 months, the general sound from the headphones has improved to feel deeper, stronger but still quite ...
