    With beats you're paying for Dre's name, Monster, and noise canceling.

    With Sennheiser you're paying for quality and an amazing sound.

    beats arent bad headphones at all but they should realistically be sold at around the $100 price point (performance wise)

    too much unnatural bass for me but i can see why some would prefer that

    would much rather have audio technica ath-m50s than beats

    These headphones are amazing quality, normally sold for around 150 and worthy of that price. Trust, these things are worth it.

    Re: AMAZING DEAL: Sennheiser HD555 - $89.95 - on Amazon

    Get an amp, models will be suggested under the headphones in the "users also bought" section.

    I have had these for about 6 months now and I love them. I've posted more reviews about them so I'll make this brief. They sound GREAT. They DO need break in time. At first they sound :meh: out of the box. Almost sent them back. I hooked them up to my home computer and played music out of them while I was at work all day. 10 hours of play time made a huge difference. With even more playing time they become amazing. 1 warning, these are an open style headphone and will allow a lot of sound to escape so these aren't that great unless you are ok with everyone knowing what you are listening to. Furthermore, the mod does work but it traps even less of the sound so it will be even louder to outsiders. If you're ok with that then I urge you to get them. If you're not ok with that, I've heard of some people doing the opposite of the mod and putting more foam in there. I wouldn't do that but in concept it should work. Note: open ear style headphones are fucking awesome for live/acoustic recording more so than heavy bass tracks BUT doing the mod on these gives you the best of both worlds. :twocents: :twocents:

    EDIT: I found someone selling the 20 foot extension cord and TV audio adapter for $0.99 on ebay. I played Red Dead Revolver on XBOX using that as my sound source and now I hate playing games or watching movies without having them on (poor man's surround sound).

    At least rock with 320 kbps or some lossless audio if you can get it. You do that and pick up these phones, then you will never listen to music any other way ever again.

    Re: AMAZING DEAL: Sennheiser HD555 - $89.95 - on Amazon

    ipod buds are uncomfortable and decent at best for sound quality. Upgrading, if you have the money, is definitely worth it. The 555's are great for settings where you don't care about the size and whether or not anyone is around. The re0's taques mentioned are more ideal for listening in public and at the gym.

    honestly even a pair of 25 dollar hd201s would be so much of an improvement over your current stock earbuds that you would be glued to them
