Professional headphone

Pros: Crisp and clear high frequencies and a good, not overwhelming bass

Cons: Rather expensive

Review: This headphone has a superb sound quality with both very good bass and treble ranges and a good balance. Very comfortable because it's quite light and the ear pads are made from soft material. Highly recommended.

A good choice

Pros: OK, so these arn't going to sound like HD650s, Grado RS-1s or Etymotic ER-4s. But at a fraction of the cost you could do alot worse. Without an amp, Imaging is surprisingly good. With decent headroom, and a sound that is a bit too bright to be natural. Th

Cons: Surprisingly difficult to drive for a 65 ohme set of cans.

Excellent entry level professional headphones

Pros: I've been using my HD-570 for around six months and it's been a very satisfying experience. The high, mid and low are all as clean and clear as you can get. For people who never had professional headphones before, these are very very good entry headphones

Cons: HD-570 will probably make all your speakers look useless.

good quality of sound-too much external noise

Pros:

Cons:

Review: the sound quality of these headphones is really great. But I find external sounds filter into the hearing. (like if you have a tv on you can still hear it.) Peolple in the room can hear the music that you're listening aswell. I find I have to turn the volume way up to get a reasonable output (and I don't really like loud music) Jazz music sounds specially good. A bit too expensive too.
