PROFESSIONAL QUALITY HEADPHONE

 

Crystal clear reproduction of sound and music. It has also got the value for money point! I got it for something like 70quid several years ago, a bargain compared to the current high street price. And, it is made in Ireland, not China!

Music and sound clear as hell! You can actually hear every bit of coughing and noise in a live concert (classical/jazz). Light and comfortable to wear, it doesn't heat up your face or ears after prolong usage.

Best for classical musics, if you are after heavy bass and pop musics, go for other headphones, the sounds is just so different from headphones made by the Japanese. You also need quite some power to drive it, forget about getting the full potential if...

Over Hyped

 

The quality of these headphones is good, but not impressive. From the reviews I read, and the $xxx price tag, I was expecting more from these headphones. But I was sadly disappointed when my $xx Sxxy headphones sound just as good as these.

The most comfortable headphones you will ever wear

As others have said, anyone else even within 20 feet of you can hear these headphones. Take my word for it, they are not over exaggerating! Unless you set the volume pretty low, it can even annoy those in another room ; The sound quality of these...

SENNHEISER HD590 3.5mm/ 6.3mm Connector Circumaural Headphone

 

I have owned these headphones for over 3 years now and they are truly amazing. You can hear every nuance of the music and it really revolutionizes the way you listen. These are no good for clubs or D-Jing though and best enjoyed in a quiet environment...

Amazing sound quality ; Extremely rugged design and stellar craftsmanship ; Can be used as earmuffs during the winter

Fairly large and heavy (almost listed this under pros. After all, you can't get this kind of quality out of ear buds.) ; Elicits strange looks and stares when I wear them in public places ; Expensive for headphones ; They put off and take in a lot of...

SENNHEISER HD590 3.5mm/ 6.3mm Connector Circumaural Headphone

 

I listened to many many headphones, from Koss, Sony, to even Bose. Hands down in sound these were my favorite. I even prefered them to the darker sounding HD580's. It all boils down to personal tastes. Comfort, you won't go wrong. That's a given....

Super comfortable cans

 

I've had these cans for over 10 years and they have been great. Super comfy to wear - I can wear them for 2-3 hours at a time. Rather bulky if you have to cart them around. The sound is typical Sennheiser, clean, crisp and fairly neutral. Lacking in...

The HD590 has often been a gateway phone for many into the realm of hi-fi headphones, and it certainly was for me. The 590 is a good headphone, and can be had quite cheaply these days, ensuring that it will continue to draw the unsuspecting into...

Sennheiser HD590 Headphone

 

These are the most underated headphones in the world. The reason is that most of the headfi forum users love the classic HD600, which is flatter, less bright plus better mids. Everything started when Headroom ( major amp and headphones vendor)...
