They're decent starter phones that can benefit from being eq'ed. Should be able to get 'em for $90-110 on ebay.

I got mine from Amazon for about 100, had 'em for just over a week, absolutely amazing.

I got mine from Amazon for $79. It's amazing!

They're $129 at newegg and amazon, but i found this deal at ebay:
Sennheiser HD555 NEW !! - eBay (item 160400077382 end time Mar-01-10 06:17:40 PST)

Dakmart always have pretty cheap refurbs. They have a amazon storefront and a website I believe. They are also licensed to sell B-stock from Senhessier, Sony, Denon and some others, aka it means you get manufacture warranty.

They used to sell HD555 refurbs in the $50s before people started catching on to this store and prices has gone up since then =[ but still cheaper nonetheless.

they have the hd595 for $125. is it worth it compair to the hd555 for $89.

Careful with Dakmart. They're unreliable.

 

[valtopps]

slow shipping or dont have it in stock?

 

[Ze_Blitzkrieg]

Don't buy any Sennheisers from ebay as they will NOT under any circumstance accept any headphones for warranty or repair if purchased from ebay. . .or so I have heard. This is due to the amount of "fakes" out there on ebay.

I doubt if Sennheiser is afraid of fake higher end phones (555 up) as there's never been any. In any case headphones are among the safest items to buy unwarranted. In 40 years of buying headphones I've never had to send a pair back for repair under warranty.

I bought them a refurbished Denon receiver. I can't tell it's a refurbished because it looks totally new! So far so good. But I don't know about their CS tho since my Denon is running good.

The $79 HD555 was a great deal. And plus no tax no shipping. I bought it from Amazon but I forgot the name of the seller.

 

[valtopps]

buying headphones is harder then buying a car lol

 

[KCChiefsfan]

No it's not. Buy them from Amazon and save yourself the later hassle, trust me.

If you're feeling adventurous, this mod is simple, and it supposedly turns the 555's into 595's (the sound anyway).
