What's great about it: The sound, price, comfort, everything
What's not so great: Can't think of anything.
Being a musician I tend to listen too critically to the virtuosity (or lack of) in each instrument being played. These 518's make it very easy. The detail and separation is phenomenal. The staging is wide and deep, tonal accuracy is spot on and I could go on and on. The simple fact that all this can be had for 129.00 U.S. (I missed the Best Buy sale at $106) is criminal. I've spent a lot more for a lot less. I don't consider myself an audiophile but I know music and what I like. These Sennheiser 518's deliver it immaculately. At the price I seriously don't why they're not the biggest selling headphones of all time.

How practical are these for everyday on the go use?
I wanted to get a pair of beats studios but they are way to much. So I thought going with a different brand might solve that problem. There is a few things that look strange to me with these headphones. 1 is that they have a 3m cord. That is way too long to be running around with. Do they sell any shorter cables that will fit with the locking thing these headphones have? And do they sell cords that don't need an adapter to work with an iPod. They just don't seem real consumer/average user focused. Are they more for professional use? Lastly, some people has complained about sound leakage. I don't listen to music very loud, the highest I have ever gone on my earbuds is 50%. Are they going to leak that bad that the person next to me will be able to hear my music. Sorry for a long question but I'm new to the headphone market and don't understand it all. Also if there is another set of headphones that are like the beats but don't cost as much let me know. This is the closest thing I could find. Thanks
Unfortunately to get the best possible sound, headphones need to be open-air. So, even being over the ear, the back of the diaphragm is open. There are many good closed or sealed phones out and a lot are decently priced. Sennheiser 203's come immediately to mind but all senn.s have 3 meter cords. Grado, Audio-Technica and others deserve a listen, personally, beats are over-priced and over-rated. The 518 Titans are not well suited for your needs, unless sound quality trumps all else.
