Grats. I wanted them, but just couldn't bring myself to shell out the money. Maybe sometime in the future. I settled with JVC RX700's, just bought them on Tuesday from the egg for $35

I was going to buy the HD555s or the ATH-700s but instead got Denon AH-D2000s. Haha, but yeah. Grats, those are nice headphones.

They sound extremely warm and smooth. Great for orchestra, acoustic, reggae and casual hip hop. I find them a little lacking in punch for rock and club/trance but I am running them underpowered off my Audigy 2 so once I upgrade sound cards that could change.

They are extremely comfortable and snug on the head. The cable is excelent quality good and thick and 10 feet long.

^ Thanks for the quick review, I was thinking to get a pair of HD 555's myself, but I need the bass, so I'll be skipping this one than, unless I have enough money for a Xonar STX

Don't expect a better source to give you much more bass - the HD555 are known to lack it.

Well I heard that more power (IE Amp)will help.

Have you let them burn-in yet?

I've heard they get a LOT better once they've been burned in for ~100 hours.
