[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 100317, member: 20"] Rodney, I actually agree with you, hence the smiley. Sharing components reduces costs for both the manufacturer and the consumer. Based on my own comparison I consider both phones to have a fairly warm, forgiving nature, the 555 only more so. I think the 555 has been engineered to have a less analytical sound than the 595. Which makes sense, since it pitched at a lower price and is likely to be paired with lower cost components. I use the 555 for casual listening and listening to less than ideal recordings, which it does well. It is also well suited to flat, compressed and rock recordings. Perhaps this was Sennheiser's intent, I don't know. For more critical listening I use a 650. [/QUOTE]
