WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SENNHEISER

[nabwong]

hd595 for home
px100 for portable

So far I have only heard 2 plus the junky earbuds.

So --> PX100 is my favorite

HD280Pro is at the bottom of my list, due to head-clamping. Good isolation and sq though.

 

[saturnine]

The HD-650, but only with the right system (ie: bright ss amp).

Toss up between the Senn 497 for the cost/performance ratio and light weight, or the PX-100 for he cost/performance ratio, practicality right out of an ipod jack, and cool man foldability for the gym.

HD 580 out of the 2 I've heard (HD 202 and HD 580, not really a comparison)

I did like the way the 580 sounded though.

I find it very hard to pick a favorite Senn. I like the HD600 and the HD650 about the same. They both excel at different types of music.

But with the right amplification, the HD650 really does shine!!

I have yet to be disappointed in ANY Sennheiser. However that being said, I would have to vote for the 650 (I have not heard the Orpheus)

My opinions (just cuz I'm offering them)
MX400 - Best 'bud under $100
PX100 - Sound incredible (not just ultra portables)
PX200 - Similar to the 100's but closed (I tend to prefer open)
HD555 - Probably the best bang for the buck high end can out there
HD595 - Near perfect
HD650 - I can't imagine a better can when properly amp'd

But that's just me.
I am not a Sennheiser only kind of guy, (I am saving up for some Grado's) but I really enjoy their sound signature, and they are all VERY comfortable.

I've only owned two Senn's and my fav is a HD 25-1 with the HD 580 cable. This is my #1 portable and it sounds like a downsized, closed Grado.

I've only heard:
HD-455
HD-580
HD-590
HD-600

Definately the HD-590.

Had some unique to it, also it was light and extremely comfortable. Felt like a nice ear muff for the snow. Even with the same pads, the 580 and 600 felt like vices on my head (especially the 600). Also, I was bored by the sound the reproduced. I would be willing to give a 580 a second chance, through my Gilmore Lite, considering how cheap they are...though they are just too darn ugly. I'd rather spend the money on some K501's...though I'd just save up and go for the K601.

Ive owned the 595, 650 and 600.

My favourite is still the HD600 + Cardas. Still have my 595s but I will probably end up selling those to fund some Grados.

My favorite is the HD650, but it's my first and only pair of Sennheisers. I am quite happy with them.

I also very much like my HD590s, also through my Gilmore Lite. My Equinox cable should arrive today, so I'm looking for additional improvement. I have been happy enough with them that just bought a second pair while they are still available. I have never had the chance to listen to the HD580/600/650 though. I also have the following Senns:
MX400/500 - excellent sound for $10
PX100 - very comfortable, portable and good sound, especially for price
PX200 - not as good as the PX100, but good for work because of less sound leakage
HD25-1 with Cardas cable - probably the best portable for ipad (or iAudio in my case) - can easily be driven without amp

I guess my favorites are HD590 for stationary use and HD25-1 for portable.

HD600s

Its a bit more balanced then the 650s

mm, gotta reright my post:
because of the price/portability I must say that the px-100 is on the second place after the hd-650, the hd-580 on the third place(it's better then the px-100, but the px-100 is portable, easily driven, cheap, has a great case and is more comfortable to me).
