Coming to a computer exhibition is one of the hobby itself. With a little luck can try something new and exciting on offer in the exhibition booth. Accidentally during one round at the accessories booth, I saw Seinnheiser HD 555 headphones are allowed...

These are open style headphones so if you don't want others to hear what you are listening to buy closed type.

Spacious, detailed sound
You still want a closed headset for the ultimate listening experience ; softer cushion would be preferred
Meticulous sound reproduction that enlightens not strains the ear, and a good retail price.

Sennheiser HD 555 Headphones Review - Intro
By Mark Brezinski (headphoneinfo.com)
The HD 555 headphones hail from Sennheiser's lineup of over-ear home theater solutions. They have open backs, which will provide a more natural, airy aural experience. This quality also means people in the same room will also get an earfull, however....
The design is simple, but still looks good. The long cord can easily span the distance between the couch and your home theater setup. ; Good performance in frequency response and distortion.; Comfortable to wear, partially thanks to the cloth-covered...
The design might seem plasticky. The top and bottom halves of the band don't have much tolerence for bending; the place where the cup meets the band is a bit fragile.; They don't provide very good noise cancellation, and have high leakage.; These...
The Sennheiser HD 555 headphones are clearly meant for a home theater environment. While they fit this role well, they are unfortunately limited to it. These headphones aren't a good choice if you're looking for something you can also commute with....
Further, the lack of isolation and propensity for leakage means it isn't ideal for public places. The HD 555 headphones currently retail for $179.99, and are available for sale off Sennheiser's website. Section

Sleek styling ; very comfortable ; rich tonal balance ; well suited for home theater
Open-backed design may not be ideal for private listening ; so-so music performance
The HD555s' speakerlike sound is the hot ticket for DVD thrill seekers.

A great headphone for the home theater
The open-backed design of these headphones provide more comfort, and lightness on the ears. Sound effects from movies sound more like they are coming from speakers, which makes them more realistic
Some mp3 players may find it too hard to pump any volume into these headphones. The closed-back style of the headphones leaks the sound to the outside

Sennheiser HD 555 Headphones Review
By Mark Brezinski (reviewed.com)
The HD 555 headphones are part of Sennheiser's home theater line. They have an open-back design, which is great for creating a more open-sounding sound, but terrible from concealing your taste in music from those around you; a lot of the sound from the...
The HD 555s have cloth-covered padding on both their ear cups and their band, which provides a nice cushion for your head. Additionally, the ear cups can swivel around a bit, in order to better conform to your head. The only comfort issue we ran into...
Of course, since these headphones are so big and their cord is so long, the HD 555s aren't the most portable option out there

Comfortable ; Excellent sound ; Well packed ; Changable parts ; Good price ; Long cord

I think I said most of what I had to say during the testing phase but I can conclude this with saying that I doubt there are any better headphones for under 150$USD out there on the market right now. You get superb sound with this even if you just use...
I have had Sennheiser before and I know that they make quality products and this is no different from the older headphones, you can really trust these and also trust their support. It was extremely well packed and there are guides to change cords and...

Sennheiser HD 555 headphones
By (dansdata.com)
I've mentioned Sennheiser's HD 555 headphones in passing on previous occasions, but I've only now gotten around to reviewing them. That's because only now has it become possible to actually buy the darn things again
For this money, I doubt you can buy a better headphone anywhere. Highly recommended
