Sennheiser headphones are among the most highly-respected headphones available anywhere. Their product line covers everything from audiophile studio headphones to iPod accessories for runners. The quality of their tone is complemented by both comfort and functionality, and they have great phones for any budget.

Sennheiser Headphone Models:

PMX680 - I'm a huge fan of Sennheiser's PMX series of earphones. All their MX models (OMX, MX, etc) are designed with active users in mind, but the PMX is really the best of the bunch. Its tone is noticeably better than typical cheap earbuds, and if you run or hike, there's no other in-ear phone that can match the PMX680 for comfort and function. In fact, when we travel on long plane flights or car rides, the phones that are in highest demand in my family are the PMX70s. Yes, that version is 3 years older than the current model, but they really do last that long. When those die, we will undoubtedly replace them with the current PMX680s, which represent a substantial upgrade, most notably with an in-line volume control. The current models also boast both short and long cord options, so you can choose to plug into an iPod strapped to your shoulder, or one in a pocket or backpack. (hi-res pic)

PX Models - Sennheiser's PX headphones are almost the perfect blend of tone and portability. If you're looking for a more traditional over-ear headphone, but you're looking for something a bit more portable than a Grado SR60i or SR80i, the PX100 and P200 are your best bet. The tone is excellent for its size, and the earpad on the PX200 actually gives you a small measure of external noise reduction. Plus, they fold down into a little carrying pouch that makes either model a great choice if you're looking to toss your phones into a backpack or carry-on bag. Available in black or white.

HD Models - Sennheiser's HD models are the favorite of studio professionals and casual listeners alike. They blend solid construction, comfort and tone in a very appealing package. Although it's most noticeable on the HD650, the tone on all the HD models is both remarkably flat and neutral as well as lively and dynamic. As is usually the case with Grados, when listening to any of the HD models, you'll hear things in your music you've never heard before, and you'll find yourself pulling out all those old CDs and albums just to hear your favorite songs for the first time (again). The best part is that these are some of the most comfortable headphones you'll ever wear, so you may not ever feel like taking them off. (HD280) (HD380) (HD595) (HD600) (HD650)

PXC Models - These are Sennheiser's noise-cancelling headphones. Unlike earbuds (Shure SE115, Grado GR8), which block external noise, and can frankly be a bit uncomfortable to shove in your ear, these all use active noise cancellation. This means that the headphones sit on the outside of your ears like regular headphones, but there's a built-in microphone and processor that send the opposite waveform of any incoming soundwaves, thereby defeating any external noise. Needless to say, this isn't the type of headphone you'd use for a stage monitor. It's better for airplanes and buses and any noisy setting where you want great tone and a little isolation from the hubbub. (PXC250) (PXC450)

RS Models - I think Sennheiser's wireless headphones are the best in class, hands-down. Now, truth be told, I don't find much use for wireless headphones, but their tone is good enough that you'll forget you're listening to remote headphones. If you've ever wanted to listen to something at a different volume than your spouse, or just to listen in a place that's not immediately next to the TV or stereo, these are the way to go.
