Comfortable, Isolated, Great Bass, 10 April 2007
I love these headphones. Initially when you first put them on, from new, they might feel a bit tight and the ear padding might seem a bit thick. But give them a few weeks and they should loosen and soften, resulting in a very comfortable fit. Given their size, they also double up as a nice pair of ear muffs, should your ears need warming.
The sound is fantastic. With their closed design, the headphones cut out a lot of the ambient noise in the room. For example, if you have them on while you're at your computer, you won't hear your computer's fan, your fingers typing, or even other people talking. This is great if you want to immerse yourself in a sound experience, and block out everything but what YOU want to listen to. They're also great for older people, who want to hear JUST the TV and nothing else in the room.
The bass on the headphones is very good. And if you tweak the EQ settings of your computer, iPod, CD player, etc, you can get AMAZING bass out of them.
To summarise, Sennheiser are clearly the best brand when it comes to headphones. And these headphones are excellent quality at a very reasonable price. So if you want a comfortable, great sounding, reliable pair of headphones, these are the ones to buy.

Good For Recording, 31 Jul 2007
I bought a pair of Sennheisser HD212pro headphones because the sound leaking from my old hi-fi headphones was being picked up by my microphone whilst I was multitrack recording at home. A tinny sounding version of my song kept being recorded along with my vocals and live percussion.
I found the sound isolation of the HD212s to be very good, and the problem was solved. The sound was much fuller than my old headphones with lots more bass and treble frequencies, there was greater clarity too.
I used to mix through them too, but I have since progressed to using some budget priced monitors (Behringer MS20) which are much better for mixing as they have a flatter response.
The HD212s are great for pleasure listening. I like Heavy Rock, Blues and some Metal music and the sound is loads better than previous headphones and hi-fi speakers that I've owned in the past.
Overall they are lightweight, comfortable, sound great, have a long enough lead to walk about the room, and are well priced. They are good for recording.
My only complaint is that I would have liked a volume control.

Bass heavy and astounding!, 9 Jun 2007
I was so excited to receive them today having high expectation which was killed really! Yes for all you bass freaks this is outstanding for the price. I my self am a bass freak(hence why I bought these headphones). I've used them in music 8/10, movies 7/10 and gaming 9/10.
Pros: Very comfortable, lots of bass available(my ears were aching due to the rumbling), light weight. Good for gaming, movies and most types of music.
Cons: Can sound mono very occasionally whereas headphones these days give a 3D stereo sound so it doesn't sound like there is music arriving from all corners of the headphone. Nickel plated jack with oxygen free copper wire increases the resistance and more volume is required like an ordinary headphone.
Conclusion: They do take some getting used too. But truly you will fall in love with these specially if you listen to hip/hop and dance music. These sound just as as good as my 120W sub woofer without the whole house shaking. The deep end bass is present along with the other frequencies(high and mid range). You wouldn't need a 2.1 system(I own a Logitech Z 2300)with these they are just as good!
