After being advised by Amazon it would take 3 weeks to deliver, they turn up 2 days after ordering. Good start!
I've always been a firm believer that if you want to listen to top quality music, you need a top quality way to listen to them. This is (so far) THE best quality output I've ever used! It captures the highest note to the lowest and thats without even having to turn them up loud! The sound quality is still outstanding when listening to music quietly.
Also, as someone who gets the train to work everyday, I am always concerned about how loud my music. No problem with these, as long as they are firmly on (not uncomfortable) you get no sound leakage (they also keep your ears warm in the winter!).
Only negative is the packaging which was a struggle, but 20 minutes, a pair of scissors and a cut finger later, I have the best headphones I have ever brought, and at £24 a very reasonable price!
Sennheiser are definitely the best brand in the market!

I did some extensive research before buying this headphone and looked among others in this price range and in the end this is one really cheap compared to the other 20 more expensive which would not offer the same product.
The sound is exquisite and is quite good in the midtones. Where it shines, in my opinion, is the bass. Some might find it too much or not enough however I find it to be perfectly balanced to ensure an optimal sound experience.
Another bonus point is due to the fact that the cable doesn't keep tangling itself up eventhough the wire has a certain 'grip' whereas a lot of other headphone cables (in a backpack) tangled with barely any movement.
The only negative remark I can make is that it is incredibly tight on your head in the beginning. After a week or so, and bending it a bit each day I find it to fit good and opposed to other headphones it doesn't fall off with any headmovement!
I don't use the rotatable ear cup as I don't need it and find it quite stupid as the ear cup doesn't even sit good on your head when rotated and doesn't feel comfortable when rotated either.
Basically it's a near perfect product in this price range. I doubt you will find better product that offers this high price/quality factor.
It has mainly been used on music and movies.
I have used for over 3 months now and no remarks whatsoever.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I am not one to plonk a five star rating on a product just to follow the crowd (as my can readily be seen from reviews on other products). So, to get the five stars from me, I have to really REALLY like the product.
As other reviewers have already noted, the HD 205-IIs are remarkably good value (less than £25 at the time of purchase in December 2010).
Having replaced 3 old sets of headphones (Sennheiser HD-450; Panasonic RP-HT230; Sony MDR-?) with 3 new sets (Sennheiser PX100-II; Sennheiser HD 205-II; Roland RH-50), I've had some listening to do.
My preferred listening is classic rock (e.g. Pink Floyd; Marillion; Genesis etc) with some softer acoustic material thrown in every now and again.
In short, the HD 205-IIs beat the pants off ALL the 3 old sets - even the old HD-450s which, from memory, cost more than £40 more than 15 years ago. Top and mid ranges have excellent clarity and reproduce decent stereo staging. The bottom end is well defined, although a few *may* find the bass just fractionally too prominent.
I personally found to HD 205-IIs to be better than the slightly more expensive (at the time of purchase) PX100-IIs. In sonic terms, the HD 205-IIs are the most enjoyable headphones I have ever owned (distinguished from listened to :-)).
The only minor annoyance is the head band. For obvious reasons, the phones are designed to clamp pretty snugly on/around the ears. In truth, I'm finding the fit a bit tight but am hoping to get used to them and that, in any case, a bit of use will see at least a touch of the tightness ease off. But, this issue isn't so big that it affects the five star award.
NB: The packaging... This is not about the product so the rating is unaffected. Sennheiser would be wise to take note that opening the packaging for these headphones is a nightmare. Even with care, it would be very easy to cut yourself (as indeed at least one other reviewer has). Sennheiser, change it - PLEASE!

Good, but terrible build quality.
I bought these just over a year ago to listen to alot of D&B, drumstep, electro, etc. I've had these for just over a year I'd say within 8 months, they were broken. Read more

Too tight on my head- painful and uncomfortable
Sound quality is fine, but disappointingly tight. Virtually unusable as it is too tight on your ears, even when completely stretched. Read more
