My First Sennheisers, My Only Sennheisers These headphones can be summarised in one sentence:
"You haven't heard music until you've listened to it through a pair of Sennheiser 595s." Sennheiser headphones don't come cheap, so like everyone else I did extensive research before I made my purchase. At the time, the high street was selling 555s at £90 and the 595s at around £180.

Fantastic Not being an expert audiophile I did some research into headphones before deciding to buy these Sennheiser HD595's. I have to say, I wasn't disappointed.

solid performance These are good headphones and unless your using high end separates I don't see the point in spending more. I only have the much cheaper HD205's by way of comparison and the differences are fairly obvious. For starters the headphones are really comfortable.

They are very comfortable - I barely notice that I am wearing them. All in all a perfect product. Worth the price and more...
