What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Sennheiser HD 558 Headphones

They are light weight, don't squeeze my head too hard, the oval ear cups fit my ears completely inside.
They are super light weight but without feeling cheap. They fit snug and the soft material makes them really comfortable.
These Sennheisers are lightweight and comfortable, even for extended (3-4 hour) listening sessions.
Fantastic! Light weight, comfortable, and sturdy! I can wear them for hours. They are also the best sounding headphones I have and blows beats out of the water!
The biggest problem I have with these buds is the weight and the structure. It tends to aggravate my neck posture, sending my head into a forward tilt that makes this very uncomfortable.

What customers say about "Features"

Sennheiser HD 558 Headphones

Incredible soundstage! Boomy lows, without being headache inducing, and crystal clear highs give you a level of clarity that is just unbelievable.
Nice deep bass! The bass that these headphones output is incredible! It doesn't drown out other sounds, nor does it vibrate your head to make you nauseous.
Very nice range of sound that isn't too bass heavy or too high pitch. Very comfortable, a few hours of use and it doesnt feel heavy on the head.
The padding attracts hair and dust so you'll be cleaning these every so often.
Due to the cord being attached to the adapter, the size of the adapter makes it unlikely to be used on mobile devices.
