    Enhance your audio experience

    Movie and music aficionados will definitely appreciate what the new HD 558 has to offer. Not only does it feature Sennheiser's E.A.R. technology and optimized Duofol diaphragms, but also a Surround Reflector that generates an extended spatial sound field for an enhanced audio experience.

    Eargonomic Acoustic Refinement (E.A.R.) for High Performance

    These high-end open circumaural headphones use E.A.R. technology for outstanding sonic accuracy and clarity. Sennheiser's innovative "Eargonomic Acoustic Refinement" (E.A.R.) design channels audio signals directly into your ears. State-of-the-art, advanced Duofol diaphragms deliver transparency and minimal distortion, while highly optimized, field-strengthened neodymium ferrous magnet systems yield an excellent dynamic response. A surround reflector creates an extended spatial sound field for the lightweight aluminum voice coils chosen for high efficiency and excellent dynamics. The special diaphragm geometry reduces intermodulation distortion, while highly constant, compressed cellulose fleece reduces total harmonic distortion.

    Had many headphones but this is the best up to date
    4 Stars
    Had many headphones but this is the best up to date
    Well I had owned previous Sennhesisser 201HD headphones which sound great but was a bit lacking in bass, also owned phillips shl9560 (good bass but unconfortable, cancels out noice also),shp2500 (great in all aspects, cheap but not suitable for mp3 and portable devices)But getting back to the Sennhessier HD 558: Overall 4 1/2 /5 starsCons: For the price slightly unconfortable (I have a really big head) but having said that they are quite comfortable never the less lots of soft coushins. The uncomfortable part is that they really press against your head, I sort of got used to it but never the less bring it up.The 3.5mm adapter is quite big, therefore the headphone is suitable for home use only.Pros:Really Long cableIdeal for mp3 devices if you want to listen at home.Great for movies is like having a Dolby surround system on your head, you really feel like part of the movie with these. When in rainforest you can hear the birds singing in the forest it feels like your there.Also great to use with skype if you already have a microphone it feels like the person your talking to is in front of you.For music has the right amount of bass that lacks the hd 201, speakers are quite powerfull, sound are very clear and music depends on the quality of the recording. Some radios on the internet transmit Dolby which sound great on these headphones.When I first got them I was a bit dissapointed because they sounded quite a lot of like the hd 201, but once I burnt them in the difference was quite noticable. They are great for all types of music regae, clasical heavy metal and specially for movie soundtracks. Also they are great to listen to dvd videos that have Dolby surround sound included like live concerts.A lot of reviews say they are great headphones for gamers, I have not personally used them for games but I have no doubt they perform well in this type of scenario.They didn't get 5 stars because like I stated previously I have a really big head and are a bit uncomfortable but this is not that bad either.String instruments sound out of this world, and live concert and recorded music sound awoseme.They are built from a strong and flexible plastic, that will last for years to came. Cable can be unplugged from headphones which is good if you have pets in your house which like to chew on things.In summary I feel this was a great purchase it took 2 months to burn them in but once that period passed you will hear that this headphones sound great.
