Sennheiser HD 570 Consumer Headphones

Pros: Very comfortable, very sharp even when set to mono
Cons: Bass is somewhat weak, can be quiet on inferior systems, not cheap

For anyone who knows me well, music is one of my secret, but driving passions. Actually, that isn't so much of a surprise - why else would a video game buff take the name of a song for a screen name? Even in video gaming, I love to listen to the music...

Pros: Bright and articulate sounds
Cons: Bass shy and too bright, forward sound, not neutral

This Sennheiser is an open-air design. This means the ear cup is not closed to the outside environment. This does not isolate the listener to outside noises. And, of course, others around you will hear the program material. But, this makes for a very ...

Pros: Extremely comfortable; great "symphonic" sound; detachable cord; works surprisingly well with MP3 players
Cons: Does not silence outside noise; sharp kicky bass overwhelms the drivers at high volume

Sennheiser has a reputation for excellent headphones all the way from the ultra-tweak audiophile market to mass-market budget buyers. The HD-570, at around a hundred dollars, is at the very top of what most would call "mass market". THE GOOD - ...

Pros: Clarity, Midrange
Cons: Lower Midbass is a bit overdone

I Hate Headphones
I never thought I would like using headphones until I came across this higher-end model. Headphones are limiting and personally I believe that they are very clumsy as well. Sennheiser tried to cope with this problem by...

Pros: Great Sound, lightweight
Cons: Cheap looking plastic

Audiophile or not, Sennheiser definitely stands out as the leading standard in high-end sound reproduction for professional deejays, the motion picture industry, and CD recording. As the fourth best headphones that Sennheiser has to offer, I would...

Pros: Comfort, open air design, virtually colorless sound
Cons: Extremely dependent on quality of source equipment and medium

I approach reviews of headphones with the same caution I use when reviewing speakers: they are an extremely personal choice.

Let me set the same context I used when I reviewed the various Polk loudspeakers I have purchased. I am a vocalist in...

Pros: Light, Comfortable, Incredible Sound, Great Design Features, Look Great
Cons: NONE

The Sennheiser HD570 headphones are a great buy. This review will cover the pros, and cons, the competition, the cost, and comfort, the design, the look, and most importantly, the sound, all in depth and from the point of view of an audio...

Pros: Highs are crystal clear and smooth as silk.
Cons: Emphasizes a little on highs thus making the bass extension seem a little shallow.

I've been using this headphones for a period of two months now and I am still so very impressed. I bought them off of ebay for $95.00 USD. I see them there often, and I think the price is great being these are $200.00 MSRP. These are my first...

Pros: Open Air non-echo sound, Crisp Realistic, Comfortable, Long Cable, One-Sided cable connection (no tangles).
Cons: Lower bass response, Larger size, open ear design is not for everyone.

I can say for myself that buying these headphones was the best thing I ever did for my computer. Many Sennheiser owners will tell you to accept no substitute to a good pair of headphones. I purchased my headphones at a local Circuit City store nearby ...

Pros: just about everything
Cons: nothing

It's pretty much a universally known truth -- Sennheiser makes some damn good headphones. I've been able to audition a few of their models before settling on the HD500s. The reason I didn't choose the 570s? Well, besides the fact that they were $20 more...

Pros: Clarity, comfort
Cons: No bass, expensive

I should have taken other reviews more seriously before buying. I guess since I was moving from my $30 Sony MDR-V250s to $100 Sennheisers I figured that the cons listed from other reviewers were based on other high end headphone experience, and that...

Pros: Comfortable. Detailed sound.
Cons: Not perfect in the high to low range.

The Sennheiser 570s, sporting a new bionetic design, deliver a radiant musical presentation. Comprised primarily of highs, with descent mids and a reserved bass, the 490s deliver lucid, accurately detailed sound. All of that brilliant sound goes into a...

Pros: Excellent detail. Very comfortable. One detachable stereo cord to one ear muff.
Cons: Pricey. Not so good for noisy environments. A bit weak bass.

After starting creating some "music" 2 years ago I decided go get a good set of headphones. I tried a few but a lot of them had either too strong bass, and thereby usually not very detailed, or they were very uncomfortable.
The ones I tried was...

Pros: Very light and comfortable. Great presence and sound, especially for classical. Replaceable ear pads/wire.
Cons: Not booming Bass

My old pair of Koss 4AAA headphones finally disintegrated after about 20 years, so I was looking for a replacement. A friend at work loaned me his Sennheiser HD 600s to try. I loved them, but they were too expensive. I am very pleased with the ...

Pros: great comfort, great sound & works well with portable player.
Cons: None found yet at this price.

I got these headphones to listen to jazz, rock & classic at work, primarily on a portable player. So far I have been most impressed and as others have said, they allow you to hear bits of the music you may have never heard before. This isn't like...
