Sennheiser HD 485 Reviews
Cons: There may be better sound avaiable
I use these at work; I listen to them for hour after hour. I'm very happy indeed with the comfort level; They are open-back design but the amount of sound leakage isn't so much it annoys the neighbours.
I compared them to a colleagues Grados for a while; The Grado's defiantely sound different but is different the same as "better"? I decided the grados might kjust have the edge but when I gave them back I was happy half an hour later or so. and the Grados can be heard clearly by the neighbours on low volume levels.
Very happy with these; might upgrade one day as I know there is better sound out there; but I've been using them for a lot of hours now and I'm still a happy customer.
The Sennheiser HD 485 is a good choice under $100 if you really like bass. The headphone does do very well with bassy genres. I would consider a different headphone if you are going to listen any other genres. The Sennheiser HD 485 can be efficiently run off portable players.
