Here's a very short but sweet description of the HD 595's from a site and forums that have a wealth of knowledge on the subject, take it as you will -

I personally wouldn't go with the Sennheisers, for various reasons of my own, but that's just me. I suspect the HD555 would actually be better in terms of price for performance, but I wouldn't get those either. The Zalman ZM-MIC1 seems alright though. I haven't really had any use for mine yet (waiting for BOB and RO2), but it sounded okay when I first tested it out.
