Music lovers will know that the quality of speaker greatly affects the sound that your hi-fi system produces. The same applies to headphones, but this is an area often overlooked.
Portable music players often come with standard headphones that don't let you get the most out of the music you're playing. It's usually necessary to upgrade to something like sennheiser headphones, which offer a much more enjoyable listening experience.
Sennheiser are at the cutting edge of developments in headphone technology. They've spent decades researching headphones, so you know that you're getting a quality product.
Finding the perfect pair of hi fi headphone can be tricky because there are so many products out there, so first of all you need to decide if you want an open back or closed back pair. Open back headphones lets sound out of the back side of each ear piece, which means that people near you can hear more of what you're listening to and you can hear more of what is going on around you. Closed back models are best to filter out noisy environments, but can sometimes make the music sound chesty.
Then you need to decide if you want hi fi headphones that sit inside your ear, or surround it. The best headphones deliver a good quality sound, so this is often down to personal preference.
The most important bit of advice is to try out the headphones. Sound is a highly personal thing, and what works for one person might not sound so nice to another.
