Incredible, absolutely amazing phones
Strengths: Circumaural, open design is second to none. Sennheiser is a winner with these. Great for gaming
Weakness: CAnnot think of a single weakness. Two things maybe, not good for work, since they are "open" and people can hear some noise, and they aren't free.
Absolutely fabulous headphones. Sennheiser has come out with a real winner on these HD555. I bought these for gaming, and with my sound card, the position effects are incredibly. I can game late at night and not wake my roommates. They are exceptional for movies and have tremendous range from bass to several octaves about this, for symphonies or classical music. These were $xx when I bought them,...

Strengths: very comforatble, good sound quality for the price
Weakness: sound leak, a bit heavy, need 1/4 to 1/8 converter, but it comes with the package
I like the design very much. A nice and fit curve of the earcup offers extra comfort. The velour paddings are very soft. After doing some research, the bass on this HD555 ($50 more than HD515) has much better definition and the treble is crisp and clean. Not too forward. The bass is great. Bass is deep and strong. For me, this is the experience I've been looking for. This phone is very nice for...

Amazing Open Supra-aural Headphones!
Strengths: Comfort-amazing Sound-incredible, realistic reproduction Durability, replacable parts, repairs from Sennheiser USA aren't too expensive, new design is quite attractive
Weakness: Non-removable OFC cabling (unless you want to take it apart, check the manual on how to do that), non-folding design (which isn't necessary given the focus on home-use), only a two-year warranty
I'll just expand on some ideas from the strengths section. The weaknesses are self-explanatory and if you're looking at these you probably know all of them already and opted for them because you don't need folding headphones. Strengths: Comfort: The velour earpads are comfortable for extended periods even with my glasses. You could forget you're wearing them, if only it weren't for the beautiful...

Strengths: Amazing sound, quality materials, fit and finish. Very light weight for their size. Sound fine with my iPod
Weakness: No so far - still need some break in time
I purchased these phones for listening to my iPod and watching DVDs on my home theater. The sound is amazingly detail. I have encoded my MP3s at 192kbps or higher, and all the details in the song that I never previously heard with the crappy signature white headphones that came with the iPod I can now hear distinctly and clearly with the HD555s. Best of all, I do not need a headphone amp as they...

Investment you won't Regret
Strengths: Comfort, sound quality, Long cord
Weakness: Portability-not really a weakness
I purchased the HD555 after much deliberation (price) for use with my Ipod and home system. I considered a variety of Bose and Sony products. None compared. The sound is crisp and clear and the bass is not overwhelming. I listen to many genre ranging from Jazz, Reggae, R&B, some Rock, and Gospel. Sound is phenomenal! I did not and still don't understand the "break in" period. They continue to...
