Hi guys!
This is my first time posting on Head-Hi.org and nice to meet you all!
I'm currently considering buying a Sennheiser HD558 since it is on sale for a 80 dollars off in the store.
But I already have a Bose Quiet Comfort 15 and I mainly use it as an equipment of noise deduction.
And whether I'm going to buy it depends on whether the sound quality of HD558 is better than the QC15 I have now or not.
I did some research and I could not really find any useful web pages that compare the sound quality of the two.
And through the research I do know that HD558 is a open-back design and it will leak sound; it is better to be used in a quiet environment.
And here comes my main consideration:
1. For sound quality, which one is better? Bose QC15 or Sennheiser HD558? How much better? I normally listen to soft music.
2. How worse is the leak of the sound of HD558? I live with my parents and I don't want to disturb them next room with open doors.
3. I saw some people said that the 6.5mm to 3.5mm jack adaptor comes with the HD558 is quite bad and I need to buy the Grador adaptor. Is it right?
EDIT: and I always listen to lossless soundtrack.
These are all my questions and thank you very much in advance!
