I would still warn against getting the Senns against the Beyerdynamic. The I've tried many of the Sennheisers lately and have not been happy with any of them.

professional audio listening?does that mean they would sound boring?if that's the case, i wouldn't buy them.
I've had the HD650's and found them too muddy. Also have owned the hd600 and found them too analytical and harsh. Also have had the HD518 and were the most boring sounding headphone I think I've ever heard. I would get them from somewhere that has a good return policy just in case you don't end up liking what you get.
No! They're not boring at all! The soundstage is much greater than the Grado, and they make perfect gaming headphones (along with music and movies.) I'd chose them over the HD 558, but if you want below $150, go for the HD 558. Again -- it depends on your gut. I'd say watch some reviews, but DON'T listen to people saying the HD 558 and HD 598 sound the same. They are absolutely different. I've done it, and it sounds horrible, in my opinion. It also ruins the fun sound.
Happy listening!
I used an Audio GD NFB12 and didn't like the way they sounded. I've found Beyerdynamics gel better than the Senns with my sources. But don't get me wrong I own a pair of vintage HD-545 that sound awesome. I just don't think their newer products are as good.
BTW, they would sound good with the E6, right?
I just recently owned the HD558 and was completely disappointed with them for trance which is my primary music preference. After 100 hours of burn in using both a fiio e07k and a vali/modi stack, there was almost no sub-bass there at all. I had also purchased a Gemini HSR-1000 (Takstar Pro80) at the same time and added Brainwavz HM5 pads and they blew me away for trance. A/Bed them severaltimes with the HD558s and packed the 558s up and returned them to Amazon. The Gemini is closed though and costs about $55 on Amazon. In my experience it is hard to find an open back headphone that does sub-bass well, especially in the lower price ranges. If anyone knows of one, I'd be all ears (no pun intended).
