Sennheiser Rocks

I've had the HD570s for over a year now and I use them EVERYDAY. I originally thought 100+ was too much for headphones, but I never regret purchasing these! The headphones are very comfortable and the sound quality is phenomenal. I highly highly recommend these to everyone!

Great price for audiophiles, but indeed, fragile.

There are no other headphones that compare to this one in sound fidelity, comfort AND price. Definitely great sounding headphones. All those reviews claiming bass response is low or treble is too high are overstatements, and probably didn't allow some hours of break-in.
The higher fidelity the headphones are, means usually you will have higher resistance, these being 64 Ohms. Some of the professional headphones use 120 or even 300 Ohm drivers. Of course you'll get lower volume, some of these are meant to be used in quiet studios (open-aural requires quiet places) and professional equipment (good quality amplifiers)! However I found these to suit my needs perfectly, as it can still respond loud enough for my cdplayer and mp3player (it will still blast my ears if cdplayer volume is maxed). My computer will play it the loudest, being able to hear it all around the room without them on.

I really love the sound of these headphones, but care has to be taken, for mine also stopped working in the right ear. Sometimes it can be due to not plugging in the the cable completely, but in my case, it did stop working. Try to use this at home, if you're careful, you can take them around the neck, but my advice is don't carry them around in a bag. T_T sob.

So for those who just want lots of bass and usability with portable devices (low wattage, high volume), just go for a pair of low-impedance(32 Ohm) HD457, they are even cheaper. You probably won't notice the fidelity with all that loud volume and bass blasting, but compared to the HD 570, makes it sound like crap IMO. Remember, HD 570 are high fidelity, budget, and audiophile oriented headphones, and if you like music as it is meant to be appreciated, get these. You'll hear sounds you never knew were in that cd, and clarity that will blow you away. However, if you just want it to be used with portable audio, and don't care about sound quality i'd recommend any sony headphones, and spend your 80-100 bucks elsewhere.

Award-winning for a reason.

I've had these headphones for about five years, and I love them. You must know their purpose before you buy them, though. They're for private listening in a studio or your own home. You should not take these on a subway. They're MEANT to be healthy and circuitous for your ears, and thus they're not isolating. You'll hear other things as clearly as you'll hear the music. It's just like having a stereo system on your head. There's other sounds you can hear, too. They have a lower amount of midrange, that's for sure, but the highs are absolutely gorgeous, and the bass is just right. I love these headphones, and it isn't surprising that they've hardly gone down in price since I bought them.
