5 out of 5 eggsGreat if you get em on sale

Pros: - Sturdy design and extermely sleek
- Earcuffs are 100% over ear, even with a large head and ears
- Very lightweight, comfortable for 6+ hours of music
- Microphone is pristine quality, extremely adjustable + going down to 50hz is a nice feature
- LOUD as hell. They don't crackle till you turn the volume past excessively loud.

Cons: - Default cable is very short
- Cable is not braided

Other Thoughts: The only other headphones I'd pay $90 for besides these are the Corsair Vengeance 1300/1500, and if you can get the Steelseries on sale for $75 they're a steal.

5 out of 5 eggsGood Headphones.

Pros: First, these are very comfortable. It is my first time using a Sennheiser product, and I must say, I am very impressed.

Sound is great.

Cons: Doesn't block out sound much but I knew that before buying.

Cord does seem frail like others have said, but as long as you're careful with it, I don't see any problems.

Other Thoughts: Very good headphones for the price.

I will look forward to more Sennheiser audio products.

Still looking for headphones that don't ruin my hair like I just woke up.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat headphones with lightweight cords.

Pros: Awesome sound. Sounds much better than my Sony Bass fluffy cushion headphones. Got it for 37 bucks which was an incredible price for such a great headset. Very comfortable over the ear design. I can put them on for hours and not feel any ear aches. This headset sounds great with all types of music. An incredible value for music listeners.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Buy it and enjoy.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Sounds great (to me anyways)
Short cord
Lightweight
Durable - I've dropped these numerous times and have caught my dog chewing on the cord more than once. Sound continues to come through both earphones.

Cons: None, that I can think of.

Other Thoughts: Had these headphones for just over four months now. I don't usually review products, but decided these deserved yet another positive review. Will be buying another pair when these go out...here's to another four months!

5 out of 5 eggsBought for flying

Pros: Light weight, awesome sound, and a great price. Although they are not noise canceling, they worked better then expected on a flight from Chicago to Seattle.

Cons: Worried about the very thin cord.

5 out of 5 eggsEXCELLENT headphones! worth every penny

Pros: Waow, these headphones sound realy good. Im glad i bought them. Now i can listen to good trance music after work and not pee off my girlfriend lol. $30 bucks, they sound great you wont regret,...

O h and the complaints over the headphones being "cheap plastic" theyre not that bad, the cord does look pathetic, just gota be careful. The ear muffs portion is very comfortable.

Cons: honestly, just the cord is thin.

Other Thoughts: typing up this review as i listen to good music on the laptop, and these are worth every penny, every penny.

5 out of 5 eggsA decent buy on sale

Pros: Comfortable, fits over the ears, does not cause ear pain or irritation as other headphones can.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: These are the best headphones I have ever owned for the money I paid. I caught them on sale for about thirty bucks, and was looking for a pair that would fit around/over my ears, so I bought them since that was in my price range. (Regular price is more than I would like to pay for ANY headphones.) As far as noise cancellation, listening to music at a low volume, I can still hear the keys typing this review. The bass is sufficient. I've found that in dance music it tends to be more true, and sort of tinny-sounding in rock music. But overall I like them. I can't wear ear buds for an extended period of time without developing an earache (and I've tried many kinds), and headphones that sit on my ears bother me too. I've had these on for hours and they don't bother me at all. Two thumbs up!

4 out of 5 eggsCould be better.

Pros: Mids and treble are nice and clear. It's lightweight compared to my HD280's. Pretty comfortable so far.

Cons: Cord is thin, feels kinda cheap. So much sound leak!

Other Thoughts: Don't buy these if you're expecting pounding bass. I would recommend jumping to the Sennheiser HD280 if you're looking for an accurate soundstage.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: -Attractive appearance

-Light weight

-Soft padding

-Worth the price



The sound was bad at first. There are 2 things you need to do to make these headphones really good.

1. Burn them in for 40 hours. Just play music through them whenever possible, even if you aren't using them. Play music through them overnight while you sleep.

2. Bass mod. The bass is really bad at first. There are some guides you can Google or search on Youtube. You pull off the ear pads (they seem like they are going to rip, but they will come off. They are stubborn). Take out the screws under the padding. The whole inside will then come out but will be attached by cords, do not pull of the cords, they are fragile. On the back of the part that came out, there will be 3 holes covered by black tape. Grab a sharp knife and remove the tape over the middle hole. Only the middle hole. Repeat with the other ear.

Cons: -The ear cups are a TINY bit to small for me, but maybe I have large ears.

-Thin and frail cord.

-Cord is a little short to me, but I can deal with it.

-Around my ears gets itchy and warm after 15 minutes. These will not give you perfect comfort.
