I would just like to know if the 595 are really worth the extra 60 bucks and if I'll notice a big difference?? Thanks.
 
Sennheiser HD555 ($155)
Looks and feels very good. Sound is balanced and smooth, but when compared to the others, it's fairly dark, distant and veiled. This loses some details. If you have a very bright system, it could be a nice match. Not a lot of energy, so it might not be the best phone if you like heavy metal and such. Overall not a bad phone for the money. If you disregard the veil, it's very nicely balanced.

Sennheiser HD595 ($210)
Headroom says it's a great alternative to the HD600, and I think they're right. I found the HD600 veiled and a little distant. The HD595 is energetic and detailed, but still quite smooth and balanced. It's still more "polite" than the best Beyers, but that might suit some people just fine. A very good headphone, which I think is worth the money. I wouldn't be surprised to find a HD595 in my collection in the future.
