How would you guys rate Sennheiser overall? My company started offering them, and I was thinking about getting a pair. I just use some 50 euro Sony headsets now. Will I hear that big of a difference?

Really great if you spend right.

Sennheiser 555 open headphones

Sennheiser 555 audiophile headphones

These are an awesome pair of headphones. I use them for listening to music,gaming,and watching my favorite movies. These HD 555's have an open ear design, so I use mine for home use. These are not noise canceling headphones, because of the open ear design they allow for sound to enter and escape.

I found them to be extremely comfortable to wear. I've had problems wearing glasses with other headphones, however these have not caused any difficulties. If your looking for a great pair of headphones at an affordable price, I recommend checking out these HD 555 headphones.

simple yet...

I like Bose. Not too pricey. Decent sound. Really lightweight.

question: anybody have any good DACs that they would recommend? thinking of getting one for my iPod. not sure about compatibility with other devices and such though, do they plug in via 3.5mm? or directly into the iPod 30-pin?

recommendations?

i have IE6's. :) (love the bass).
