I started with Sony MDR-ED21LP (£15), upgraded to Sennheiser HD202 (£30), then Sennheiser HD280 Pro (£60), and here we are today with the Sennheiser HD595 (£120).

A superb set of headphones. Sound reproduction of all genres is fantastic due to long frequency range. I listen to classical, pop, disco and even some of my brothers hard house and vocal trance all of which are handled superbly.

The best headphones by far i have ever owned. Check the website for ... more
