I received my Sennheiser HD 595 headphones this past Tuesday and could hardly wait to try them on. Here are my thoughts on them so far...

They are very comfortable, though they are quite large and bulky...certainly not something I can just toss into my laptop bag, but I didn't expect them to be....I guess I just never realized how big they'd be.

The sound is superb. I can tell why the 595s received such good reviews. I was really concerned about the sound "leakage" that is bound to occur with open-back headphones. True to their design, these cans do leak sound, and had I a less gracious office-mate, this may have become a real issue; however, Damar has been quite understanding and even claims he doesn't hear the sound leaking from my headphones (even though I know they do leak and he's probably just trying to be nice).

The 595s are still not broken in, so I am confident the sound quality will continue to improve over the coming hours (I've read the bass takes some time to come into its own). Overall, though, I'm pleased with the purchase.

Thanks honey!

Sunday, December 17, 2006 New section I've added an "In My Ear" section on the sidebar where I'll post artists that I've been listening to. Right now, this is done manually, but I hope to set it up to update automatically based on information that I scrobble to last.fm. UPDATE (12/18/06): The section now updates automatically every 5 minutes and reflects the artists that I've listened to most recently. It also automatically links to a Google search for each artist's name in case you're interested in finding out more about them.
