5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic headphones for extended listening., March 12, 2009

By	Ryan M. Stefanelli "Game Developer" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I work in game development, which means I sit at a desk for 8-12 hours a day with headphones on non-stop. These Sennheisers have greatly impressed me, even after wearing them for hours at a time.

The sound quality is better than I've had with headphones before. I usually stay under the $100 price mark, but I've had three pairs that were more expensive than the 485s, and all paled in comparison. The bass is clean and deep, tones are intricate, and distortion is non-existent. I was a bit concerned that the high range would be too brassy and tinny as can often happen with open-ear headphones, but these project a very warm, deep sound overall. This makes extended listening very pleasant. Bass is also a problem on many open-ear cans, but these have plenty. Some have complained that it's too much, but I couldn't disagree more.

Comfort is good, I'd say 8/10. They've never bothered me. I've tried more comfortable ones before, but there's nothing to really complain about here once you get them adjusted well.

Durability seems like it'll be good with these as well. I seem to break headbands often, probably because people come and bug me in my office so damn much, I'm constantly taking them on and off with one hand. These are no worse for the wear, thanks to the thick headband.

I wouldn't recommend these for portable use... they are pretty big, and the cord is flippin' long. Good for home/desk use (especially since my computer is tucked as far away as I can get it), but bad for a Zune in the pocket.

Overall I can't recommend these enough for the price. They really sound remarkable (you'll want to show them off), they look like they are straight from Halo (the game), they seem like they'll last a good while, and they are cheap.

9/10 overall.
