Insanely good SoundStage!! Dont even think about powering this thing with your smartphone!!
By Murali Balasubramanianon
Man the clarity!! I am not going to be too technical by writing this review like all others. To be honest I dont know much about what a mid or a high means in audio terms but as a layman I can say that I have not heard anything like this ever in my life!. All the minute details you get in AR Rahmans music is just so well heard in this I slept once with these on my ear!!. Its that good. Its very comfy too.. The build quality is excellent with high grade plastic everywhere. But wait.. I may not be a headphone guy but I a avid computer hardware enthusiast. I am using this with my rig that has a Xonar sound card in it and you definitely need one to pump the hell outta this thing.!!. I plugged this into my nexus 4 and the difference is night and day. These just simply dont sound good on a smartphone so if you are planning to buy this for your phone dont!!. you need atleast a decent portable amp like the Fiio to get the full experience. Coming from a HD 448 the difference is astronomical. Thanks.
Awesome! is least
By DCon
first of all thanks to flipkart for their prompt service.
now about headphone.
Pros:
1. bass is good
2. Sound clarity is above par for most of the genres
3. Comfortable pads and less fatigueness
Cons:
1. Price is on the steeper side
2. No additional pouch given
3. portability is ann\ issue.
Overall, i will 4.5 out of 5. after using this barely for half an hour i said WOW what an amazing product by sennheiser which has bass also. Lows and highs are perfect, Bass is tight and not overpowering other elements. Mid is perfect as long as you are playing high bit rate files. go for it guys if price is not a concern!!
Brilliant!
By Priyanshu Guptaon
I bought this from Flipkart only and got it delivered within 2 days. Its definitely worth the price and the bass is just awesome.They are comfortable for as long as I wore them(8-9hours). The sound quality is also very good. Surely worth the price.The only fault I see is that the wire keeps getting tangled.
Great, But Think Twice
By Naveenon
Pros:
1) Awesome Soundstage, clarity. Bass is apt.
2) Makes a Rahman track stand out
3) Using this with Roland Juno KB.. killer
Cons:
1) MUST pair with headphone amp like Fiio
2) V long cord
Finally.. SONICALLY GREAT, but PRACTICALLY UNUSABLE
Super

Use this with a FiiO E10 headphone amplifer which costed me about 4.5 K.
I would say go for cheaper headphones in case you don't intend to spend on an amplifer. The difference in output is phenomenal - i was hard pressed to believe that they were the same set of headphones.
Nice sound stage, Maybe a touch strong in the bass segment, but extremely non-fatiguing and detailed.
Excellent Headphones.. Best buy.
By Amazon Customeron
Got it at 7300 rupees.. Amazing clarity and fine bass.. Slight over emphasis in 100-250 Hz frequency range.. Nevertheless Excellent headphones.. Thank you Amazon for the excellent offer.
Amazing

Once your ear is set with S-HD-518 You will just forget what and all your wife or Boss said to you <"they don’t know that they never say anything, they only scold ">.you will listen all instrument's sound clearly .You can trust it.if a new buyer who have never used Sennheiser and if he/she listens to HD518 i am sure the person will smile proudly on himself/herself for selecting it.and will think what carp was i listing till now :)

By Sudeep sundaron
hi everyone ..im no audiophile to describe let me be clear,but i have been a music fan since childhood and have a general taste of all kinds of music and i mean i listen to almost all genres from classical to hard metal until i like it..i have a pretty large music library to describe..off late recently i have been researching a lot on music products and carefully been buying things which i need which have outstanding reviews and critical acclaims.you can consider me a critical buyer as i do indeed resaearch a lot before buying a product..By the audio related products i own u can easily get to understand that..i own many in earphones to over ears to circumaural headphones like klipsch image s4,sennheiser cx300,urbeats inearphones,sony xb400 over ear headphones,and the infamous koss porta pros..u must have been hearing about them a lot most of which i won in the audiophile websites and headphone blogs if you have gone through...well now i can say im a proud owner of the sennheiser hd 518...which i did buy after a lot of reaseach as i wanted the best possible audiophile quality at best price..for a great bang for buck ratio.. The packaging was so gorgeous that i have in my life first time preserved a pack..and now for the sound quality and boy are they awesome...right out of the box they sound stunning..i can hear each and ever bit of sound crisp clear from the authoritative pounding bass to clear vocals to drums and mids to trebles like cymbals and all crystal clear..they havent even burned in yet so i will give my impressions even after some usage.. so stay tuned but for now they are awesome...clear open great sounding great seperation every nuance of sound crystal clear and can safely say that these are the best headphones i own to date..great work sennheisers you have bought me for life and made a fan of you..thanks guys for reading this ..
Comfortable for long listening hours
By Deepakon
I have had this headphone for over 3 years now. Not purchased from Amazon.The positives: very lively and 'open' sound. Decent sound stage. Comfortable for long listening hours, natural reproduction of most frequencies. Sounds fantastic with a headphone amplifier - I use the Fiio E10.The negatives: cumbersome wire. Replace with a good quality 6.35 mm to 3mm shorter wire and life will be much easier. I stored the headset for 5 months without usage. This resulted in deterioration of the foam. Have to find a replacement set of ear pads now. Did not expect the foam to crumble this quickly, especially at this price point. Also, since they are 'semi-open' design, they leak sound. So others can hear what you're listening to. While this is a downside, the upside is that sound never sounds 'boxed in' and artificial.
