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:
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.

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.
