The Bottom Line Sennheiser's versatile headphones sound great on DVDs and all kinds of music. The HD555s' speakerlike sound is the hot ticket for DVD thrill seekers. Koss hit a home run with the PortaPros. Love or hate the design, there's no denying the sound quality here: they're the ideal companion for mobile audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts. With the QuietComfort 3s, Bose has done a remarkable job of shrinking its popular noise-canceling headphones while achieving similarly impressive sound quality--but that engineering feat doesn't come cheap. Delivering top-notch home-listening performance, the Grado SR125 will satisfy even the most demanding audiophile.
