Moderators Youthman Posted October 29, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2010 My Sennheiser HD570's have one ear that no longer works so I'm in the market for another pair. I know nothing about Sennheiser except I really loved the separation and clarity the 570's produced. I'm not familiar with model numbers, specs etc for headphones. I mainly use them at my computer to listen to music while I work on design projects after the wife and kids go to bed. I'm not an audiophile, just want good sound and cans that are comfortable. About my 570's: VERY comfortable. I never got tired of wearing them even after wearing them for hours. Amazing separation and clarity Open Back system Not a lot of bass due to Open Back sytem but probably were more "accurate" because of it Paid $60 on Ebay a few years ago Checked my local craigslist, not much there. HD280 Pro for $40 oboHD201 for $28.00 or I found a few on Amazon HD202 for $14.00HD555 for $65.00HD428 for $34.50HD515 for $42.00HD350 for $42.00 Budget is preferrably $50 or less but willing to go up to $75 if a pair is substantually better. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesV Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I've only had a few pairs of good headphones, first pair was Senn PX-100 then Grado SR60i. I have to say the Grado's were a lot better, like your current pair they are open air design and very comfortable, to me, I wear them at work and can last all day without any worries. You can look around, msrp is $79 but the bay might have them cheaper. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted November 1, 2010 Author Moderators Share Posted November 1, 2010 Thx James. Do you think I should consider the PS-1000's? [] I knew there were high end headphones ($300 - $400) range but I've never seen a pair for $1500. I'll do some research on the Grado's. Thx for the suggestion. I've never heard of them before.

justin_tx_16 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 If you want to spend very little money, try the Koss Porta Pro headphones at around $30. Best sounding headphones you'll ever hear, for under $75. Also, Sennheiser will repair your headphones, unless you just really want a new set.

Moderators Youthman Posted November 8, 2010 Author Moderators Share Posted November 8, 2010 I found a pair of Sennheiser HD555's on Ebay for $70 obo. I offered $50, he counter offered at $60 and I counter offered at $55 and he agreed. $55 with free shipping sounded great to me. Also, Sennheiser will repair your headphones, unless you just really want a new set. I'm not familiar with their warranty but I'm sure they are way past warranty. No sense paying to ship it to them, pay for parts when I can get a like new pair for $55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Well there you go. I've had great luck with Sennheiser in the past working warranty jobs. I had the driver replaced on my HD600 headphones, out of warranty. All I paid was shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can always use a second pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted August 29, 2011 Author Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2011 Just thought I would update this thread.....I replaced my broken HD570's with a pair of HD555's. Honestly, I just wasn't happy with them compared to my previous HD570's. They were not nearly as comfortable and were slightly less detailed. I ended up selling them on Ebay and purchased another pair of HD570's. Wow....now I remember why I have always loved the HD570's. Extremely comfortable, light and has great clarity and a good amount of bass response. I would HIGHLY recommend them for anyone looking for a great set of affordable cans.
