Sennheiser HD-555 Audiophile Headphones Reviews
This one is overrated. However, HD555 is somewhat disappointing. For similar sound quality (in my opinion, actually SR60 is slightly better), SR60 is at least $30 cheaper and doesn't need to be amplified, should be a much better deal if all you care is sound quality. When I connected this through an amplifier (one self made and one "bit head"), this goes away, and every word sounds clear and crispy. As a comparison SR60 doesn't care much whether amplified or not, and always performs very well. Sound is veiled when connected straight to a computer or mp3 player.
I own both SR60 and HD555. So my point is: if you have to use this with an amplifier, why not buying something as good (or better) that doesn't require an amplifier. It can even be difficult to understand the lyrics sometimes. For vocals, it sounds like someone is singing behind a curtain.
Overall, Senn HD-555 is a wonderful and good deal phone. Sennheiser HD-555 Audiophile headphones satisfied all demands of a picky guy, like me. Its bass will bring a full deep spirit of whatever kind of music you listening.
Was like those high end car audio even better actually. Bought this plus a Asus Xonar DX sound card then fired them up together and the first song I played was Salt Shaker by Ying Yang Twins and bass never sounded better. This is worth every penny as Sennheiser rules.
I recommend you get a proper sound card like Asus Xonar DX or D2X then you will really see the true quality. Please note do not run this on any Ipod or integrated pc audio you are just robbing yourself of what these headphones can really do. This also plays Trance music great anyone who says these cannot play music are sadly mistaken. This has got to be the lowest deepest bass I ever heard in my life.
Plus mids and highs are awesome.
Almost as good as the very good 595s. Sound is not as laid back as 650s or many other Senns. Easy to drive. These are a real bargain. Seem to be durable. Comfortable.
Good SQ. IPOD friendly. Still, I wish it had just a bit more punch (I like rock). Well made.
I think my friend put it best. I can wear these for hours and not have any sore spot or anything after the session is over. Just wish the bass was there a little more, but the mix of the highs and lows is very pleasant.
The only thing I wish about the sound quality is the bass. When I first started looking at headphones, I swore that I wouldn't spend this much, but I can truly say that I am glad I did. I feel like I will now always stay with the Sennheiser name after these headphones. Second is the comfort level of these. It is a good mix of soft and hard highs. They provide an excellent mix of highs and lows.
He put them on and he said "I feel like I am wearing a cloud on my head." They are lightweight and don't weigh your head down at all. I am a bass guy, and these provide quite a bit of bass, but just not quite enough for me. Also the padding is phenomenal, and surprisingly not hot.
I don't have any problems with these headphones at all. First, of course, is the sound quality.
Then again, I am bass hungry, and these are bassy enough for me. These are simply amazing. These are my first pair of Sennheiser's and they are worth every penny.
They provide the highs evenly, without making them sound twangy, or just over bearing.
