No matter what you listen to, if you want to get the most enjoyment from your music, quality headphones are a must. They allow you to hear so much deeper into the mix on every recording. Sennheiser's HD 518 represents an outstanding headphone value that delivers clear, powerful sound from your home and portable audio sources.

The delivery is in the details
The HD 518's open, over-the-ear design features generously padded cups that softly cover your ears for hours of listening comfort. Their sophisticated drivers combine lightweight aluminum voice coils and a powerful magnet structure to deliver exceptional transparency, high efficiency, and excellent dynamic response. Your music runs wide open, with extended bass that energizes everything from rock to Bach. The grilles on the back of the earcups keep the drivers open to the outside to prevent unwanted vibrations from coloring the sound. And Sennheiser's "Eargonomic Acoustic Refinement" (E.A.R.) technology uses an advanced earcup shape to guide sound waves more directly into your ears for even greater levels of detail.
Great looks and a long life
The distinctive grille-like earcup casings gives them a cool, minimalist look. The headphone cord attaches to just one earcup, so you won't have to deal with tangles. Plus, both the earpads and cable are replaceable, which means you can simply swap them out if needed instead of having to buy a whole new pair of headphones.

Elliptical Circumaural Ear Cups: The HD 558 headphones feature an around the ear design; the velour covered ear cups are adjustable on multiple axes and the headband extends to optimize fit.

These headphones give good flat response with a heavier bass end between 500 hz and 5K khz that boosts solid bass and even transitions for classical music and light rock ( James Taylor) for a joy ride of balance.
