Sennheiser HD-580 Headphones: Hearing is Believing

bysymbiosis Sep 17, 2005

Pros Excellent overall balanced sound, solid construction, top-notch comfort
Cons Somewhat polite vocals, occasional minor congestion of high frequency sounds during very...
Recommended it? Yes

I have recently gone on a bit of a headphone quest. During this time, I have come to realize that while I really enjoy the sound of my Grado SR-125s, the comfort is simply unacceptable. I have recently started to think of them as miniature ear torture devices. So I started looking at other... Read full review »

The All Around Best Headphone!

byTyll Sep 23, 1999
51 Helpfuls 52 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Super comfortable, sounds great, great value.
Cons Not Perfect (See Sennheiser 600s)
Recommended it? Yes

The Sennheiser 580 is simply the best all around headphone. Now, I like the Sennheiser 600 better in in every way---but only slightly. The 600's cost about $100 more, and therein lies the rub: Is the 600 $100 better than the 580. Tough call!

The 600 uses exactly the same drivers, earpads,... Read full review »

High-end sound anywhere

Pros Produces smooth, natural-sounding music; resolves the smallest details; endlessly...
Cons Limited dynamic presentation; laid-back sound does not appeal to all
Recommended it? Yes

For years I had used the cheap headphones that you often find in portable CD and tape player sets. When those pairs inevitably broke, I typically bought a "nicer" $30 pair from the likes of Sony or Panasonic. I consider myself an audiophile, having roughly $3000 worth of audio equipment along with... Read full review »

Pros Beautiful full range of sounds, Circumaural design, Durable and Comfortable construction,...
Cons Price OUCH
Recommended it? Yes

I had never had a real nice pair of headphones in my life. I had used an assortment of earbuds and crapphones, and I think I had managed to break every pair (my best move is crushing them under my chair by accident). So last spring I set out to get the most kickin pair of headphones I could find... Read full review »

My old standby

byTodd Sep 8, 1999
20 Helpfuls 21 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Great headphone/ Low price
Cons Little laid back
Recommended it? Yes

When the Sennheiser HD 580 was first released it turned the headphone listening world on its ear. Never before had such great sound come from a dynamic headphone. Fine detail usually reserved for electrostatic cans was suddenly available at a fraction of the cost. The only thing holding it back was... Read full review »

Pros Comfortable, Stunning clarity
Cons Expensive?
Recommended it? Yes

Conclusion: Speakers are dead!

Analysis
I currently own an excellent pair of Klipsch speakers and I've recently auditioned some very expensive speakers, the B&W 803's (see the review here: http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-6305-38D8083-397F1546-prod6). It is hard to imagine that a... Read full review »

A Musician's Perspective ...

bydrawbars Apr 29, 2002
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great even sound: warm bass, clear midrange and treble. Lightweight and open.
Cons Big. They need a strong source to drive them well.
Recommended it? Yes

I'll start off by saying that this review takes a different angle than most others. I'm a performing and recording musician who uses headphones for rehearsing, and for laying down tracks. I guess you could say I'm a bit of an audiophile -- I've spent more than $4000 on my home stereo, including... Read full review »

Found Sound: A chronicle of addiction by an audiophile apprentice.

Pros The sound quality will blow you away, and they are more comfy than cashmere pajamas.
Cons Neither "cheap" nor small, plus you may have to buy a new stereo.
Recommended it? Yes

I have recently developed a problem that has already reached its breaking point. The problem is, my desire for high-quality music is rapidly expanding, and my financial status is rapidly not.

It is entirely the fault of my audiophile friend in New York, henceforth known as Audio Pimp... Read full review »

This headphone no doubt about it made it possible for Sennheiser create later the new 600 and 650 headphones and much liked 595 headphone.

My set of Senns' are going well past 10 years of use, I can't give them up. I just love the rich mid range and fully fleshed though maybe not the... Read full review »

Pros Incredible sound, incredible comfort
Cons Price, some may prefer Grados or Etymotics
Recommended it? Yes

There are three elements I looked at when choosing these headphones: audio quality, comfort, and their comparability to Grado headphones. I'll also comment on their comparison to the Etymotic ER-4S. For more information on all these headphones, visit www.headphone.com. I'm not associated with them,... Read full review »
