You might overhear someone say "There are headphones, and then there are Sennheiser headphones." The distinction is very clear, because there are no other headsets quite like theirs. While many other companies spend time focusing on other stereo components, only to decide to dabble in headphone technology when they find it profitable, they have only focused on creating, maintaining and improving technology associated with headsets for over a half a century. When you look to buy a great pair of headsets, you want to know you can trust your manufacturer, but when you buy these headphones, it is they who want to know they can trust you with their quality product.
