Overview Details Customer Reviews Category Info Accessories Our take on the Sennheiser HD 558 by Dave Bar Surround yourself with rich sound Get superb headphone sound from your music and movies with Sennheiser's HD 558 headphones. The HD 558s feature special internal surround reflectors that acoustically enhance spatial imaging, so you'll enjoy more immersive sound with your movie soundtracks. Sennheiser's "Eargonomic Acoustic Refinement" (E.A.R.) system uses an advanced earcup design to deliver a "speaker-like" listening experience with improved levels of detail. These 'phones also include sophisticated driver elements that use lightweight aluminum voice coils and powerful rare-earth magnet structures to deliver exceptional transparency, high efficiency, and excellent dynamic response. Built for comfort The HD 558's open, around-the-ear design features soft velour earpads and headband that let you listen in comfort for hours — even if you're wearing glasses. You also get a single-sided cord that's detachable, so you can easily untangle it. Plus, if the cord gets damaged you can simply replace it instead of having to buy a whole new pair of headphones.

Crutchfield Customer Review The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order. High-quality headphones that fit well and are very comfortable. The velour material around the ears and across the headpiece is exceptional. Excellent sound quality and frequency range. The only down-side is that external noise is not shut out as well as the Bose Acoustic series, which I also own. Overall I would say the Sennheiser 558 headphones are a good buy. Nice to have the detachable 10 foot cord with the gold mini-jack adapter. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Buy Written By Patrick M., Newport News, VA on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Crutchfield Customer Review The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order. Truly a nice headphone. Very comfortable although at first felt a bit snug until I made all the minor adjustments to fit my head. Ear cups are soft and don't make your head sweat. Headband is plush. Overall lightweight is nice. Detachable cord is awesome and the native 1/4 inch gold jack feels snug and secure. Thick cable is a plus. Must be twice the size of my HD525 cable. Compared to my old and faded HD525s, these 558s are on another level comfort and sound-wise. Tighter bass, full warm mids and comfortably crisp highs make these a pleasure. My 525s lasted almost 10 years, and I guess I could have bought the replacement parts, but the investment in these 558s was well worth the cost. The upgraded sound and low impedance lets me play this thing on my iphone without problem, although I would recommend upping the bass level when using such low power devices. I'm glad I stuck with the Sennheiser brand. I was thinking of trying out another line like Bose, but I realized how long my 525s lasted and thought I could get the same value out of these. Pros: low impedance makes it an all-around good listen. Soft, plush padding, lightweight. Warm and tight sound. Was this review helpful?
