Also, the bass boost feature of the fiio e5 provides enough extra bass to add even more of a theater feel for soundtracks, movies, and games. I also use these for watching blu-rays from my PS3 and I couldnt be happier with the results. The HD555's really make it feel like I have an expensive home theater system. Also, gaming with these is really great. from Amazon.com I have bought many headphones in the past. Normally all in the 20-$30 range. I first started noticing the vast quality differences after experiencing a different set of less expensive Sennheiser headphones. If those sounded so good I dreamed what the more sophisticated headphones would sound like. from Amazon.com I am more of an in ear monitor person but I prefer using headphones at home. I own the Shure SE530 IEM's which are the best I have tried. I have owned a few over the ear headphones such as the Grado SR-60, AKG K240, and Sennheiser HD202. These Sennheiser HD555's are the BEST I have tried for sure. from Amazon.com If you're the casual musical enthusiast, looking to put a little kick until your listening experience, GET THESE HEADPHONES! After listening to these, I began to wonder how I ever thought the stock white ipod buds ever passed as decent. While these aren't quite of the professional caliber as some of Sennheiser's more upscale models, they are still absolutely splendid for the everyday listener. Plugged into an iPod or standard computer sound card, I found very little difference between my HD-555's and my roommate's HD-595's. from Amazon.com Honestly, I really didn't know if Sennheiser was a reputable brand, etc. I was stuck with choosing either the sennheiser or the sony headphones (Sony MDR-V700DJ DJ Style Monitor Series Headphones). from Amazon.com Love the sennheiser brand of headphones. Comfortable. from Amazon.com First, I must admit ignorance to audiophile headphones, as this is the first ones I've bought and used regularly. And the reason is, I hate pressure when I'm wearing glasses. Well, with the Sennheiser 555 that's not a problem. They're comfortable enough to wear for hours. from Amazon.com Almost everyone knows about Sennheiser's reputation but I'll say that it is one of the top brands up there making good headphones and other audio products in almost all price ranges. The HD-555 has been in production for quite some time. from Amazon.com When I first used them, I wasn't terribly impressed. Everything sounded bland and inaccurate. After giving them several hours of music, they began to break in and that's when they began to live up to the Sennheiser name. Pros: from Amazon.com Back in 2001, I purchased a $250 pair of Sennheiser headphones, with detachable cables. They lasted maybe 5-6 years, but I went through 2 replacement cables, & 2 sets of replacement ear pads. from Amazon.com
