The included headphones holder can be mounted horizontally or vertically. These headphones are backed by a two-year warranty.

 I did not understand great sound before I bought these HD 595's July 30, 2010
HvR (Kansas City, KS USA)
I have never spent any time even thinking about headphones until my old set of Sony's broke recently. After reading many reviews and doing much research I decided to purchase a set of the Sennheiser HD 595's.
I am absolutely blown away by the quality of this equipment. I am running them with a Rolls HA43 Pro Amp. These headphones are incredible without the amp, however, with the amp the depth of the music increases by a multiple factor even at low levels.
My previous set of headphones and my buddie's Aiwa headphones sound like you have cotton in your ears even running simultanously through the Rolls Amp. No comparison.
Crisp, clear sound at all volumes. Many reviews indicate that you cannot listen to "open" headphones in a quiet office. This is simply not true. I work in an extremely quiet cube farm and my neighbors cannot hear these headphones when I listen to them at what I consider a high level. I have very slight background sounds when some folks are on the telephone, but not noticeable enough to be distracting.
The ergonomics of these are top shelf. I love the way the felt pads fit completely over my ears and do not press the ears to my head. Leather covered and I have a large head and these are simply the most comfortable headphones I have ever found that do not feel like they pinch me at all.
I have run them through my computer, through my walkman and through an Ipod and every application created the most beautiful music experience I have ever had through headphones.
Loud, LOUD - with the Rolls HA43 Pro Amp, I was running XM radio through them at night using an "8" setting on a scale of 10 to break them in or burn them in. I had them in a sealed box downstairs in my office running all night and they woke my wife up at midnight upstairs and down the hall when a particularly rowdy song must have come on XM Radio during the night. No distortion whatsoever at these high volumes.
At low volumes the bass is just top notch - you can feel the thump at levels low enough that you can not even hear the music through the "open" backs.
Do not short change yourself - buy an amp - it is worth every penny of $50 to have the sound that these will produce with one - seriously - standard headsets sound like you have cotton in your ears compared to what these will produce.
A Headset Audiophile has been born - thank you Sennheiser.
 Not a good value! July 20, 2010

I was totally excited to hear these as soon as I got them from all the good reviews I have heard. Before I ordered these I was listening to my dads Audio Technica ATH AD700 and thought they were amazing and was expecting better sound then those speaking that these HD 595's cost 100 dollars more.
I was disappointed, the sound stage sounded smaller and throughout the range sounded like they were slightly less detailed then the AD700's. I started testing them for a while and just confirmed further more that they did not sound quite as good as the AD700 that again cost 100 dollars less. I ended up returning these headphones and ordered a sealed back headphone ( lots of road noise where I live ) the Audio Technica ATH-M50s. I ordered these because I liked the ATH-AD700 and figured these would sound just as good. I was right! these headphones sound slightly better then the AD700's in my opinion .
In summery don't waste 100 dollars on these just buy the AD700 if you want open back or if you need sealed back get the ATH-M50
I am sure others will disagree with me and thats fine since music quality is partially in the taste of the owner but I like my choice.
Wonderful Ear Candy July 13, 2010

In a world diluted by Skullcandy and generic Bose headsets, Sennheiser creates one hell of a headphone for a mere 200 bucks. The sound quality is great, albeit mildly quiet. The real bonus to the set is the bass, which is always clear and sounds remarkable. They fit well and are comfortable for a long stint of listening or just relaxing. They are not as ground breaking as some of the pricier sets, but for the price range, you cannot go wrong. Perfect for entry audio-philes and mid range audiophiles alike.
 Too quiet and was expecting more from them July 12, 2010

The HD595's are classed as audiophile phones on Sennheiser's website but they're not really. I needed a second pair of good quality phones for my home studio and decided to get these as they were within my budget. I already own a pair of the Sennheisers HD25-1 Mk II which are fantastic and only £20 or so more expensive but I decided on these as I thought the soundstage would be larger due to them being `open' phones.
The first thing I noticed when I plugged them in is that they are rather quiet. It wasn't too much of a problem with my Cowon mp3 player as the volume goes up very high but when I plugged them into my (high end) PC, even the maximum sound level was not loud enough. It seems you'd need an amplifier to get a higher output but at a low 50 ohms, it should not take much at all to push these phones. And strangely, the HD25-1`s are 70 ohms and have no problems being played at a decent volume through my PC or mp3 player.
Secondly, whilst the sound quality is mostly good, I found the mid frequencies rather recessed and that was the deal breaker for me. Instruments that I could hear very clearly through the HD25's sounded muffled and almost nonexistent with these. And to top it off, the soundstage was not better at all, the HD25's also beat them in that department.
The good qualities are the bass which is very clear and well defined and not overly punchy and all other ranges are good but overall they're just not good enough for somebody who considers themself an `audiophile' and who wants to hear all ranges very clearly.
In the end I returned them and bought another pair of the HD25-1 Mk II's as for just a bit extra cash, they offer a far more accurate sound (they are classed as monitor headphones) with a better soundstage and work just fine off your PC or mp3 player.
AMAZING July 3, 2010
David M Lestina (Mercerville, NJ, US)
I would just like to let everyone know that I've owned before these the Bose QC 2 (which have since broken) and Sennheiser 280 PRO (which I still like). I can safely say that these are better HANDS DOWN thant both of them.
Sound Quality- These cans sound incredible! They're an open design so you'll be able to hear things around you, and people around will able to hear what you're listening to. That being said, it doesn't usually affect me because I use these for my computer and my Zune HD while I'm on the PC. The Bass is punchy compared to other Sennheiser headphones. I have used these with an amp to compare the difference of them unamped, and what I got was a more immersive, clean sound. Although they preform astoundingly well without an amp, which is what I use them for 95% of the time. I've found mp3 players to be able to handle them fairly well. My Zune can handle these a LOT better than my 280 Pro's. Compared the Bose QC 2's, I've found that these have much clearer highs and more rich mids.
Comfort- These are hands down the most comfortable headphones I've ever used. They honestly melt around your head until you forget about them. The velour ear cups are incredibly soft and don't restrict glasses wearers in the slightest.
Style- They are very light. Almost too light. I fear the plastic construction may be its downfall, so I've been EXTREMELY careful with them.
Overall if you're looking for Audiophile like sound without breaking the bank, these are for you! You won't be disappointed.
