Bang for your buck! (comfortable also) [Posted on 2008-08-07]
I've had these headphones for over a year now and still adore them. I did quite a bit of research on this range of headphones and am still satisfied.
My only slight negative is the cord "could" present a problem if you were to stress it since it does not plug in to the actual headset. The cord is long and you have to be mindful of where it is if you use it at a desk with a wheeled chair.
Extremely comfortable for the size. The sound is amazing to me.

I actually have the HD580 headphone. But about a year and a half after ordering them from Amazon, the plastic headband part (that holds the thing together) broke. Mind you, I baby my headphones so it wasn't a result of abuse or anything like that. I realized these puppies had a 2 year warranty, so I shipped them back to S and after a week and a half, I had a good to go set waiting on my doorstep. So not only do they sound great, but you can bet you'll get top notch warranty service.

I love the sound of these headphones. I listen to various types of music - these headphones are clear, the low end is distinct and not boomy - the bass sounds 'blossom' forth in a space all their own without muddying up anything else.
Of course these are not headphones to block out the rest of the world - the design is open and you will hear extraneous sounds. That is the nature of the design.
For quality listening in a quiet environment, I'm not sure how much 'goodness' one could really gain by spending more money.
They are plenty loud on a iPOD without an amplifier - however I use them with a small headphone amp and they sound fantastic. As others have said, the adapter will place a strain on your headphone jack, so pick up one of the suggested extension cables so you don't have to plug the big adapter into your headphone jack.
pretty good [Posted on 2008-09-15]
These are great headphones.
Only downside is, I use them for V-Drums and they start to "crack" and "pop" with low tones at moderate volume.
OK headphones - but just OK [Posted on 2008-10-04]
I bought these headphones primarily to use when on trips, to use with my iPod. So far though, I have only used them with my home system. I have probably listened to 35 - 40 albums, both directly from CD, and from 256KBS MP3 sources. My experience so far has been a bit disappointing.
Based on the reviews that I read here at Amazon, and my previous impressions from listening to music on headphones, I expected to be blown away. That just didn't happen. I have a modest system at home, comprised of a middle level Yamaha 7.1 receiver, a pair of $750 front speakers, a pair of $550 rear speakers, with two SVS 16-46 subs driven by an 1,100 WRMS power amp. The sound of this system has been generally pleasing.
I expected outstanding clarity, with solid mid and high response from the Senns, and with good to excellent bass, compared to my full system. What I have gotten is a somewhat compressed sound. Highs are not at all sparkling. Mids lack punch. Bass is compressed and very lacking in extension.
I guess that after spending > $180 on a set of headphones, I expected more.
