5 out of 5 stars Excellent, but not really for bass-heavy music.......2007-06-28

I consider myself somewhat of an audiophile, and I'm very particular about the quality and such coming from my headphones. I've gone through quite a few pair over the years trying to find the perfect pair of headphones for my taste. That said, this pair is, so far anyway, my favorite.

Firstly, I consider these *desktop* headphones - they're kinda big and not very portable.

In terms of the sound quality, there seems to be an excellent balance between treble and bass-level frequencies, meaning you can hear the high notes just as clearly as the low notes. And the quality is very crisp and accurate.

In my opinion the bass is great. However it really depends on your own taste. If your music of choice has a heavy bass line, or even if it doesn't and you still prefer to turn your bass up really high anyway, you'll most likely be disappointed with the amount of distortion.

But the balance between bass and treble is perfect for pretty much everything else - rock, jazz, classical, you name it. The bass is prominent and clear, but it's in perfect harmony with the higher frequencies. I personally like my bass to be *there* and clear, but not overbearing, so this is one of the essential things I look for in a pair of headphones.

This also makes these headphones an outstanding choice for watching DVDs on your computer - high definition sound, and all.

Comfortability is another area where these headphoens excel. The fabric ear pads are a tremendous plus for those who tend to wear headphones for hours on end - they simply don't get uncomfortable, ever. Past experience tells me that these are much better than the more common rubber ear pads, which can sometimes get painful after just half an hour or so. And not only that, but fabric ear pads actually react better with speakers, and help to produce a better sound. The strip of padding across the top is also really comfortable.

Finally, there's the lifespan. I've had these things for almost two years, I use them for hours at a time almost every day, and they're not even showing any signs of dying yet. I've never had a pair that's lasted so long.

In short, not for bass-heavy sounds, but for everything else I can't recommend anything better. Good price, too. Highly recommended for anyone who lives on their computer.

4 out of 5 stars Great Headphones.......2007-05-21

These are really great headphones. Excellent for anything with a good strong beat (such as HipHop songs). The only reason it didnt get a 5 stars was because the cable length (even though it has the cable thing for it) is a bit too long, and feels useless.

3 out of 5 stars Sennheuser HD 457 headphones (silver).......2007-04-01

I liked the Sennheuser HD 457 headphone when I first started using them. After using them for awhile they would fall off every time I put my head down to pick something up from the floor. I later bought the Sennheuser HD202. The HD202 fits my head and ears much better! I have a small head. J. Hall

1 out of 5 stars Way too much bass.......2006-11-27

I've owned and used Sennheiser headphones since the 70s. These are by far the worst Sennheisers I've owned. Put simply: they are way too bass heavy. And it's not even punchy bass, it's real boomy and muddy. You'll need to EQ the bass down just about as low as you can to get accurate musical reproduction. If you like unnatural, overemphasized, boomy bass these are the headphones for you. If not, stay away.

5 out of 5 stars HD 457 Wearing Comfort.......2006-11-25

Someone mentioned that these headphones feel hot on the ears. I don't agree with this at all. Compared to my AKGs, which have plastic-covered ear cushions, the HD 457s feel much cooler and comfortable. My ears do not perspire at all even after wearing them for more than 4 hours. I think this is an excellent product and I would like to urge Sennheiser not to discontinue these headphones as I intend to buy the same ones after these wear out.
