Guess it depends a bit on your social adventures

, but less important anyway.

Is it just me or is this design flawed. The cans are hinged on one side only increasing the stress at that point if the can is forced to go any way then designed.

They are pretty ugly BTW.

The 515 is ugly, but the other 2 look cool.

So, who's going to be first to listen and post a review? Huh, huh?

I rubbed my dirty lttle paws on these at CES and they do look pretty trick in person. I could'nt listen,but the only Titanium I could see was that ring around the driver on the 595. I might be wrong. The phones were very light and very comfortable so they might be the ticket for some of you. I have no idea about pricing because I was told Senn is doing it's best to make these phones the same price worldwide,

I don't think these could be "versions" of existing headphones. The housing makes a big sonic difference. The only difference between the 580 and 600 is part of the housing material.

I've found that a lot of electronic devices that go for the metal look are of course plastic, and that the metal paint looks pretty bad after a few nicks and scratches. Tuberoller, would you say that most of the headphone is plastic, painted to look metallic?

Have you seen the new triangular ones??...BLEGH!!...they are HIDEOUS!!

I'm just glad they're moving away from the headband design of the HD590. What a god awful design for comfort. Those look nice and cozy. Sound, well, hopefully better than the HD590 because these I might jump on given their apparent ease to drive with their specs.

 

[D-EJ915]

The headband is reminiscent of the CD3000's and CD1700's types mixed together, along with a teeny bit of Sennheiser mixed in. The HD595 is actually kind of growing on me, but there is a huge list of 'phones that look a lot better right at this moment.

Originally posted by sTaTIx Sleek, modern, stylish, and futuristic are words I'd use to describe these new pics. The grill on the first pic looks kinda cheap, but the 'phone still looks okay. I don't even know how anyone could think these cans look ugly. These people need to elaborate more on why they have that opinion and then maybe I'll be able to see where they're coming from. I dunno how many times I've seen people on the internet do this, especially when insulting something/someone. It's THEY'RE, not there.

I think they're all ugly.

Am I the only person who's more interested in how they sound than how they look?

yes, you're absolutely the only person!

just because you see some people discussing their looks, which is all anyone has right now because they are not released yet, doesn't mean those same people don't care about sound. this website is for discussing and that is what we're doing

Yep, the 515, 555 and 595 will eventually replace the "bioneticrap" 500, 570 and 590, respectively. The only thing that the newest 500 line will share with the older "bioneticrap" line is the detachable, single-sided cable that attaches to the left earpiece. But let's hope that the new series falls somewhere in between the dark, muddy presentation of the "bioneticrap" 500 and the overly bright, shrill presentation of the "bioneticrap" 570 and 590, with better mids than any of the "bioneticrap" line.
