Sennheiser HD 558

I just got this headset purchased on the net after reading benchmarks including What Hi-Fi.

After using a Sony MDR 343 and previously a Koss ...

I am delighted with this new purchase of an open face headphone (I'm using it at night when everyone is asleep, I did not need a headphone off). Its port is nice and comfortable because the headset makes a great tour of the ear, the weight is reasonable.

Controlled listening to music instrumental and lyrical, the balance is good but with a bulge of the lower (bass and cello lower register a bit swollen).

After my very bad advice placed on the HD 205 which is frankly detestable to listen and to wear, so I compensate by giving a favorable view of headphones HD 558 that provides a healthy and relaxing listening. Its price is what it is, I think a trifle exaggerated for the components used and the country in which it is assembled (China) ... we will say that we must pay for containers! I think, made in Germany it would not be more expensive to distribute ...
