Summary: Sound = pretty good, comfort = horrible
Comment: I would have to agree with most of the reviews below, the sound quality you get from these headphones is pretty darn good; however, they have one major flaw: it is IMPOSSIBLE to wear these things for mare than 20 minutes without accquiring a massive headache. The people that designed these things must have been too focused on sound quality to pay any attention to comfort (or even style for that matter, these things look cheap and clunky on your head). I dont care how great the sound is on these things, they were useless to me because I couldn't listen to anything for an extended period of time. I'm returning them asap and getting myself a pair of sonys (yah, I'm a sell-out, but atleast they're comfortable). I would suggest the MDR-V300's, my roommate has a pair and I really can't tell the difference in sound quality when I compared my Sennheisers to his Sonys (after playing around with the EQ of course, and they're about the same price as these too). Might I also suggest the MDR-XD300's (they're the ones I ordered as a replacement for these, and I'll be writing a review for those monstsers once I get a chance to try them out). Two stars instead of one only because I admit the sound quality was decent (not spectacular like many of the reviews said, however).

Summary: More than I was expecting
Comment: I bought these headphones a week ago and I am very pleased with them. At the electronic store, I listen to 3 pairs of Sennheiser (HD-433 ; HD-437 and HD-457). I hesitated between the 437 and the 457 but went for the 457 (10 more buck$). At the store the sound was OK as they were playing from the Sennheiser display rack. When I got home, I plugged these in my computer soundcard jack and the sound was a whole lot better. I am very impressed of the volume and sound quality I can get from them on my computer. My soundcard is an onboard Soundmax AC97 on an Asus K8V-X motherboard. I set the sound option in Windows XP on "headphones" and played "Metallica- Nothing else matters" with WinAmp. WOW !!! I was really impressed with the bass response and sound clarity in general. I only use half of the volume available in Windows XP and it`s more than enough for me.
I do agree with some other reviews that the bass could be more precise but I found out that it varies a lot depending of the sound source you`re using. The sound is better on my computer than on my Harman Kardon amplifier and is a lot better on my MP3 player than with the earbuds that came with it.
Overall, I would say that these headphones are very good for the inexpensive price. They blow away all the competition in the same price range. Compared to my old Panasonic, it`s a drastic improvement especially for the bass response.
When it comes to music, I love bass a lot but I would recommand to others that you would listen to them from a source that you could adjust the bass level (bass knob or equalizer), so that way you won`t get too much bass from them.
Very good headphones ... Go get a pair ... at this price you can`t go wrong. I highly recommand them for computer users (music, DVD movies and games).

Summary: The Best Headphones I've Owned
Comment: These headphones sound great. For the money these are better than anything I've listened to. They are 10 times better than the earbuds that come with most MP3 players. They are not small by any means but if you want great sounding music, these are for you. When people say you hear things in the music you haven't heard before they aren't kidding.
