That’s the first thing that comes to mind when I think about the Sennheiser HD595 headphones I recently purchased and am now using at work to help drown out the noise and get through the daily deluge of ennui. A vast improvement over my old pair of Sony MDR-V500s, these Senns sound a lot sweeter and clearer– I’m able to hear harmonies and subtleties in texture that I’ve never heard before with other headphones– and they are oh-so-much-more comfortable. I can actually wear these headphones for hours without my ears aching. It’s cliché, I know, but I can honestly say I’m rediscovering my music collection with these babies. Work has been really stressful and downright aggravating lately, so I’m just glad I have something to help get me through the workday.
