I can't tell you guys how much I appreciate the resource that is head-fi.org.

I recently received my first ever set of audiophile in waiting headphones (Sennheiser HD555's), and I must say that listening to music in the computer age has NEVER sounded like this to me. My goodness is it fun listening to my iTunes music with these things on.

Impressions (and remember, this is coming from a complete and total noob to the advanced sound world):

1. Damn, are these things comfortable. I don't know why anyone would want anything other than velour on their headphones after wearing these things.

2. Amazing sound compared to my Altec Lansing 2.1 computer speakers (Duh!)

3. The highs seem particularly fantastic in these headphones

4. The lows seem a bit mushy maybe, but I don't really know what I'm talking about

5. I got them for from a member here, and I honestly feel like the money I spent was probably the best $75 I have ever spent in my life.

6. Thanks again everyone!!!

One happy dude

that so great to hear. I was also glad I found head-fi when i received my 595s for Christmas. the 555s are a good place to start your audiophillia. They are very good cans but also leave much room for upgrade. Your first cans are a gateway drug to the search for the best sounding setup, good luck

"sorry for your wallet"

from now on


u've entered the forbidden path

Lots of people start out with the HD555s. Its like the gateway headphone =)

Enjoy them...i had them about a month and then sold them for some 580s. Then a amp...ohh it doesnt stop...then Shure e4s and still looking...hahahaha

It all starts here ......sorry for your wallet =(

Okay, let's get right to it then. I think I could spend $500 without the wife minding, but how much better will $500 of headphone goodness sound over my HD555's?

Are we talking immeasuarbly? What?

Deminishing returns is the well worn phrase....

$150+ gets you some greater definition and articulation to the bass freq the next $100 buys the potential for more and ever more subtle improvements dependant ever more on their amp and source offering up this sonic goodness with which the phones to articulate, adinfinitum...
