I have tried them all: Philips, Sony, Creative. you name it, Ive tried them all! They have one thing in common - they are unbelievably bad in sound quality, reproduction, durability and in their price-value equation.
I decided to buy a Sennheiser Headphone set when I saw a reasonably attractive offer on an online shopping site. It was delivered in three days. After that, music listening has never been the same again. The audio quality is awesome! A friend of my mine who does professional sound editing told me that this headset was almost at par with pro headphones that cost 12-15 thousand!
The warmth, the tonal quality, and its reproduction of violins, saxophones, flutes and pipes is remarkable. No longer do I have to tolerate tinny sounds, tin-can beats and low-level issues. With the Sennheiser Headphones I have rich full-bodied music playing in my ears.
Even for watching movies on my laptop, the Sennheiser brings the soundtrack alive and its a lot like having your own home theatre.
Two thumbs up! Great product!
