"Wouldn't record without them!!!!"

Feature:
Cable could be a little longer, but otherwise pretty good.

Quality:
These get dropped all the time and are fine.

Value:
I love 'em. We are buying 18 more for Studio B, and post rooms A and B.

Desirability:
Very good looking. Nice silver and black velvet design.

Sound:
I use 12 pairs of these in a pro studio running out of Hear Technologies digital headphone mixing systems. I would never record a session without them. Musicians always ask for them once they have used them once.

Ease of Use:
These are comfortable and have really great ergonomics.

Support:
One had coffee spilt on it and they fixed them quickly and for free.

Overall:
It would be very hard to get anything in this legue in any price. Two thumbs up for Sennieser.

"Ideal Headphones for classical music"

Quality:
This is really terrific product. I bought it in September 2002 and it works as if it's new. I work with this headphones 6-8 hors a day and sometime forget I have them on.

Sound:
The most natural sound I ever heard from headphones

Overall:
I don't see any reason to replace this product. More than that, if it would be stolen, I would by the HD 580 again.
