How to choose
Choose an open-back model for quiet home listening and a closed-back model if you share a room with others.
Beginner
If you are new to hi-fi headphones, the Sennheiser HD 100 or HD 400S give an easy way into open, natural sound without a big outlay. Let them run in for a few days of normal listening, store them on a stand rather than folded, and keep the cable free of sharp bends near the plug.
Intermediate
Listeners who already know their preferences often move to the Sennheiser HD 559 or a Behringer model such as the BH480 NC for a more resolved sound and better comfort over long sessions. Try them with a dedicated headphone amp if your source device sounds thin at higher volumes.
Expert
Serious listeners look to the Sennheiser HD 600, HD 650 or HD 800 S, which reward a good source and enough time to settle in before critical listening. Match them with an amp that suits their impedance, keep the earpads clean, and replace pads once they lose their spring, since pad condition changes the sound over years of use.
