| funkywizard's Full Review: Sennheiser HD 455 Hi-Fi Stereo Headphones |
The headphones I am reviewing have very good sound overall and have a few nice features in addition to the really good sound quality. The headphones cost me about $70 but that was a few years ago. Similar or same headphones should be somewhat cheaper now.
The headphones sound really nice producing highly realistic sound. I'm not an audiophile, so I'm sorry that I can't use all the lingo that such inclined people can, but I must say that I was impressed with these headphones. What may be standard features for headphones of this quality I was surprised to see nonetheless because most people are used to seeing consumer grade (i.e. garbage) audio equipment.
At $70 these are not the most expensive headphones you can buy but they are quite a bit of cash to the average person. What you get for that money is the following:
A high quality sounding pair of comfortable ear muff type headphones that are not tinny, that can be cranked up really loud.
A nice gold plated connector for the larger plug type of headphone connector
A nice long headphone cord that can be replaced if broken due to a nice plug on the headphones themselves.
A decent side adjuster (you would expect this but I included it for completeness sake)
These headphones are not necessarily the best for a studio environment because they are not the wrap around the ear type of muffs. They are the on top of the ear type of muffs. As such, people would have a much easier time hearing what you are listening to than with the other type of headphones. Still this should not be much of a problem with most people, especially considering that they are much more comfortable this way anyhow, especially since they have a nice cloth covering instead of a rubberized covering.
Like I said before, I am no audiophile, but I do know good sound quality when I hear it. These headphones are very good quality, well built and will last a while. Just don't take them to school where they might get stolen (who am I kidding, if people will still anything they will steal these for sure). That is really the only problem I can think of with these headphones. If you have the money and want a good quality pair of headphones, you wouldn't go wrong with these.
