The Bottom Line	The HD555s' speakerlike sound is the hot ticket for DVD thrill seekers.	Sennheiser's versatile headphones sound great on DVDs and all kinds of music.	Sennheiser's HD 515 headphones don't scrimp on comfort or sound quality.	Koss hit a home run with the PortaPros. Love or hate the design, there's no denying the sound quality here: they're the ideal companion for mobile audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts.	Sennheiser's HD 485s are our new reference headphones for iPod listening, and their remarkably clear sound also clicks with DVDs and CDs.
