One might say it is like wearing a sound system on your head, but only from the sound angle. Looks as if the Sennheiser HD555 head phones could be a hot seller according to CNET. Described as being better for movies rather than music, the Sennheiser HD555 is a great performer.

Would I buy them? Yes, for the movie aspect. Since it was ’so-so’ with music, I am not interested using this set for enjoying my favorite tunes. Looks very comfortable and easy to fit to a person’s head. I think they are a great buy for the right person.

Sleek, comfortable, and durable, Sennheiser’s Euro-styled HD555 headphones weigh a mere 9.2 ounces and feel luxurious. They exerted minimal pressure on our ears, which allowed us to forget at times that we were even wearing them–a big compliment for headphones.

The Sennheiser HD555s, which cost less than $150 online, have an open-backed design that makes for spacious audio, but the ‘phones leak sound and may disturb others in your vicinity. The HD555s are fitted with a 10-foot cable and a 1/4-inch plug; a 1/8-inch miniplug adapter is also included.
