Sennheiser (http://www.sennheisersoundtour.com) has expanded its line
of full-sized, portable HD headphones. The HD 428, HD 438 and HD 448
are optimized for portable players but also deliver strong audio
performance on home hi-fi systems, making them an ideal choice for
users who want to crank their playlists on the move and at home,
according to Eric Palonen, product manager for consumer electronics
and telecommunications products at Sennheiser’s U.S. headquarters.

The top-of-the-range HD 448 model (US$129.95) offers a lifelike sound
experience with precise detail, he adds.
