| Bottom line | The new HD 598's "wow" styling updates the classic Sennheiser look, and the sound has more detail and higher resolution than previous models. We recommend these cans to anyone looking for a pair of headphones with precision sound quality and a wide-open soundstage. | The Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Professional Studio Monitor Headphones are among the best available for less than $200, offering excellent sound and build quality. | Sennheiser's exquisite HD 800s sound more like listening to full-size speakers than any other headphones we've heard to date. | Sennheiser's versatile headphones sound great on DVDs and all kinds of music. | While they're no bargain, the Bose QuietComfort 15s currently offer the best sound and silencing capabilities in a pair of noise-canceling headphones. |
