Hi all,
I recently purchased Senheiser HD477 headphones b/c my old ones broke. The sound on the HD477 is decent but it's open so on the bus I can hear ppl around me, it's rather annoying. Also because it's open if I crank it up in the library ppl can hear me. So I'm looking for another one (I can return the HD477).
I usually use the headphones to listen to music via my mp3 players. From time to time I hook them up on my computer. Mainly listen to mp3 music.
I looked up on Futureshop and have narrowed down to these choices:
Sennheiser HD 555
Bose TriPort
Sennheiser HD 515
They're quite expensive (~$200 CAN). Which one would be the best for my use? I read some review saying that HD515 doesn't sound that good. A friend of mine has the Bose TriPort. It seems to block out the sound pretty well but I read that there's a plastic part that broke quite often. Haven't read too much on HD 555.
So would it be a good idea to return my HD 477 and purchase one of these? Would I hear much difference at all?
Thanx.
Edit: After reading a few threads no longer considering Bose.
