Sennheiser is top notch in my book. I own a pair of HD-600's (their top of the line besides the $10,000+ Orpheus) and and they have been flawless. To get get better sound from speakers for the $300 I paid for the hd600's, you would have to spend about $10,000 dollars (I did). In my situation, however, with the HD-600's you have to have quality components to get their true performance because they will tell you your equipment sucks if it does -- not literally, of course 🙂
So, why do I mention the HD-600's when comparing them to the 497's? Simple. Sennheiser knows how to make a quality product, and they push that technology and know-how down the line to their lower-end components. For $30,000, would you buy a really nice Kia or would you buy a "cheap" Mercedes?
Enjoy them.

read my link to reviews about headphones above. supposedly, the grado s60 is THE BEST headphones for the price range, but they say that the sennheiser 497 comes in at a close second. however, since the grado's aren't on sale, i would get the sennheiser at this price. hopefully this'll be helpful.

better deal would be HD600 (top of line) and plus $50 rebate.
holy cow, I wish I knew about the $50 rebate on the HD-600s.
$223 after rebate for top of the line Sennheisers? (etronics.com)
also you can get top of the line wireless Sennheisers for 108 after rebate (RS85 also from etronics.com)
That is crazy! hot damn!
the rebate says you have to buy from an authorized Sennheiser USA dealer, but their site doesn't list online retailers.

I ordered on the 25th also, mine already shipped. (actually shipped on the 28th, I should get it by either the 30th, or 31st.) I got the 570 despite the somewhat bad reviews since I need the high freq and brightness for mostly voice/speach recordings. Probably overkill headphones for this application though. Wonder if it will be useful in CS....maybe I'll just go with the 580s or 600....
