They call it high-end headphones on a shoestring budget. Let's find out if it's true.
Excellent for gaming, Excellent soundstage performance, Good treble, 3m long cable, 6.3 mm and 3.5 mm jack.
Incomplete mid-range reproduction, Lots of audio leakage to surroundings, Not comfortable to put on for long, Do not work well with many MP3 players.
Music has the power to change your emotions (for good or for worse) and that is the reason why you find that just about everyone is addicted to music in one way or the other. A chosen few have the passion and a fine ear to gauge music quality. Not satisfied with run-of-the-mill audio equipment, these audiophiles can go to great lengths to acquire good quality equipment to quench their aural thirst.
A set of good headphones is essential for such people. Sennheiser has been manufacturing headphones of all kinds and has a large range of high-end headphones - the HD or High Definition audio series - but the cost has often been exorbitant. However, to cater to lesser mortals on a shoestring budget, they have the HD 515 headphones, which the company says, are for serious audio enthusiasts. We've got hold of one of these and we will see whether this claim holds water.

Oh come on ! The Grado is NOT a better headphone. The Grados are highly overated ! Their bass is nothing to speak about and only the trebble is nice. Also they are most uncomfortable to wear. A better option is the Allesandro MS1 which is a modified Grado SR60 or even the Grado SR80 which has some bass.

I agree with the reviewer as I have used them both, the sound quality of the Grado SR60 seemed better to me.
