Hey guys,

After doing some research it seems the Sennheiser HD555 would be a great choice for a headset to take with me to uni. I will only really be using them to listen to music and maybe watch the odd film on my Macbook Pro and I'm not really a sound buff so I doubt I'd be able to notice tiny, tiny differences like some of you would. Comfort is pretty key. I don't want to wear them for 30 mins and then my ears start hurting or my brain feels like getting squashed.

I have some questions

  1. Is the HD555 worth the extra £20 when compared to the HD515?
  2. I've been told that the HD555s are open so noise can easily get in. How true is this?
  3. I know the HD212 Pro are only around £30, so half the price of the HD555 and about £10 less than the 515s but would you recommend those to me over the 555s considering what I'll be using them for.

What would you recommend for moving out with uni? Speakers or headphones? I was thinking of either spending about £70 on one or the other or up to £90 on both.

It's either the Sennheiser HD555 headphones or Creative GigaWorks T20 2.0 Speakers.
