zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
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.

Quality:
The 580 is built tough enough to handle the bumps and scrapes a headphone typically must endure. I have seen no indications of wear in the year I have used them. I am careful with my equipment though.

Value:
The 580 is well worth the price I paid at zZounds.

Desirability:
One of the reasons I decided on this phone was it looks "too coo." Very neat appearence. No weird straps and wire bands to hang up on anything. Very comfortable during long sessions.

Sound:
The 580 is clearly superior to any headphone I have ever tried inclusive of those costing much more. After a mixdown using the 580, I then monitor the mix with a pair of Carver Amazing Loudspeakers and make the any adjustments required. However, these phones are so accurate in ALL frequencie ranges, with no noticeable coloring, secondary or terciary mixdown is usually not required.

Overall:
The 580 looks to be a keeper till it drops dead, or I can't find replacement parts. I once paid a similar price for Sony Studio Monitor Phones that crashed after 3 hours of use. I look to buy Sennheiser from now on, unless somebody comes up with plazma phones for a decent price. Sure.

Remarkable sound quality and ergonomics, these are by far the best headphones I've ever experienced.

In my home studio I cannot use reference monitors (neighbors, you know..), so I wear these for many hours every day. I have tried a number of other high-end headphones and these are easily the best sounding I've ever experienced (even at low volumes!).

They are amazingly light and comfortable, and they always deliver accurate, undistorted sound, with sharp high frequencies and a thick low range.

Finally, I was amazed by how powerful these can be! No need to crank the volume way up, these headphones deliver a remarkably strong wave. Highly recommended!

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.

OK. First off, lemme say what I gotta say.
I bought these phones from this website, (who beat everybody elses price, hands down, as opposed to hands up, I imagine) sight unseen (although I saw this picture on their web site), and ears unheard.
I have used Sennheiser phones since they introduced open air technology way back in the seventies, and have always liked the sound quality and design engineering incorporated therein.
So, I wanted some new ones, and decided the HD580 was a good bet, especially the green color.
So I ordered them sent right away, and when they arrived I discovered. . .
they are not green! No. They are a nice, dark charcoal grey color, which is fine, but I like green! Bummer dude!
So, anyway, I want to expound on the impressive sound of these phones.
I am now able to hear detail in the mids,highs, and bass, which I had not been able to detect with my other, older phones. Splendid!
I rate these 580's a 7!

These phones are for civilised pair of ears. The phones are in one word "accurate" down to the lowest note. I use it to review the recordings. My Magneplaners and these headphones complement each other. Not for portables, not for cheap sources, not for bass junkies. If you are wanting faithful reproduction, look no further. "To thine ownself be true".

What can I say.. the most natural and alive sounding headphones for any price that I have ever tried. Feels also comfortable, and seem to be very sturdy, they have gotten some strikes, but no damage has occured.
What these headphones can't do, any headphone can't do! Meaning, do not try to make a master mix with any headphones, that will lead You wrong. And it is not for the headphones to blame.

If you live in an apartment or other place where you are forced to mix a lot of your music with headphones or low volume monitoring, these are the best around for the money.

Marvelous sounding head-gear!
One might well look a very long time in attempt to out-do these phones.
Very comfortable.
Very accurate sonically.
Lacking absolutely no noticeable response in the frequency areas.
That includes a nice bass presence.
Remarkable!
