4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, possibly a bit heavy in the low freq. for professional use.
15 Oct 2010
By Will
I bought these headphones about a year ago to use at college where I'm studying sound engineering.
I will start off by mentioning my few problems with them, most of which have been mentioned by other reviewers.
They are bass heavy. For most modern music, especially the dance genre's, these headphones will give you almost exactly the sound you want. However if you're planning on using these in a professional environment, working with more classical, or acoustic music you will need to keep an eye on how much bass you're rolling off.
The cord. All three metres of it. I don't think I've come across a cable that loves to get it self tangled more often in my life. Also, if you're working in a room with other people, you need to keep an eye on where all that excess is (I have had to extricate mine from the wheels of chairs in college's IT suites more than once). Finally such a long cable is hardly ideal for use while on the move. Yes, it comes with a storage reel, however this is slightly bulky, and if you're anything like me, it will have disappeared within a few weeks.
Finally, the ear pads. While these are comfy, in my experience after an hour or two of use they do begin to make the area around your ears feel warm and a bit sweaty.
Now onto the good points.
Despite their strength in the low frequencies, they also give an excellent representation of those mid and high frequencies. They are a bit limited, in so far as their frequency response tops out at about 17kHz, but most people by their mid twenties are struggling to hear that high anyway, and it is very unusual to get instruments playing that high (without taking into account harmonics).

As a London commuter, they're perfect- even if you're not playing anything through them they can block out screeching brakes on the Tube, annoying tinny tunes from mobiles belonging to the kids at the back of a bus, an overcrowded Liverpool St station...the list goes on. What's more, they don't leak noise out either, so you're in your own world, which makes any journey far more bearable. And what's more, they sound terrific. After years of shoddy bass response on headphones, these deliver the goods.
But I'm on my fourth pair of these headphone in three years for the simple reason that the connecting cable are flimsy at best. On two of my previous three pairs, a small amount of stress or stretch where part of the (slightly overlong) wire was trapped in something or got pulled by accident caused the headphoens to stop working. Obviously this isn't intentional, but things like this happen and it's annoying to have to shell out for a new pair when there must surely be a way of improving the cable protection.

I have a set of the predecessors to these cans and they live attached to my computer which I use for music production and DJing they are superb, so when I needed some new cans for my iPhone these updated ones were my first port of call. I prefer over ear cans for public places as they give great sound without being too loud and don't annoy everyone else which is ideal given that I take the train to work and also listen to music whilst working.
Frankly, at this price I don't think you'll find better sounding headphones, and as a bonus they are comfortable and pretty light, yet the band is robust. I do have slight reservations about how robust the adjustment system is, but time will tell and I can't mark them down for that unless they actually go wrong. I seemed to get them on special as I paid about 18 quid for them and that's just silly money for such good phones, but under 30 quid is still a total bargain. The sound is crisp and clear and they are more than sensitive enough to be driven by an mp3 player/phone without draining the battery unduly. If you use them on a proper stereo or a computer with a good soundcard, beware - they can handle so much oomph and are so sensitive that you might find that an output level that's fine for speakers blows your head off with these bad boys!! I swear I can actually feel them pushing away from my head with the bass response when I forget to adjust the levels on my computer from time to time.
The only slight annoyance is the cable winder which is really a bit too chunky, although it will fit in a pocket or bag and also has a clip, but I'd like to see these with a shorter standard cable and an extension cable included, even if the cost was a couple of quid more. Even so, they still deserve all five stars quite handily.

Got these headphones to replace some sony earphones. They were good earphones, but the difference between the quality of those and the sennheiser headphones is incredible!
You can hear bass mid and treble very clearly and I constantly notice things in songs I couldn't hear with other headphones, they constantly surprise me with their quality.
I've used these very regularly for over 2 years, they've been constantly on the move, shoved into bags, suitcases, car boots, even had a small filing cabinet accidently dropped on them, without even a scratch or slight drop in quality.
Perfect for everyday use, and very handy on long haul flights as movies and music can be heard a lot more clearly, and they block out enough noise to help you sleep even if nothing's playing! Only complaints are that the cable can become annoying as it's very long but as mentioned in another review, they are available with cable winders, and also I have had some slight ear-ache after about 5 hours of continuous use, but the incredible sound quality and buildquality more than make up for these minor defects. Five stars, fully recommend for music, TV, flights, great value!

OK but could have better control
The headphones fit the head and face snuggly. Only draw back is that it does not have volume control, but it does the trick.

Excellent for people with bad music taste
I have a terrible taste in music that I want to keep to myself. These headphones allow me to do just that. Sound quality is excellent for the price.

Good sound, great value for money.
Really rich sound, but not bass-heavy. Comfortable to wear but as with all similar designs, you'll get sweaty ears after a prolonged period. Read more

Suitabe for a child or girl.
Fantastic quality as you may expect from Sennheiser. The total let-down was the size of the ear-cups. Just too small! Read more

Good headphone
Great audio quality, suppresses external noise. Only problem is that is a little tight on the ears, so if you wear for a long time it aches your ears.
