Rating + 5 Great Heaphones


Pros: Excellent Sound Quality
Long cable
Good Bass Output
Sturdy Frame
I can hear more details in my music, games, movies, etc that my old headphones or computer speakers failed to produce.

Cons: Like others said they do hurt your ears after too many hours of use, but I found that putting them around something like recordable CD spindle container can break them in a bit and won't be as tight on the ears anymore.

Other Thoughts: I've Heard good things about Sennheiser and wanted to try a set for my self and I was not disapointed at all.

These replaced an old set of Koss headphones that had a cheap plastic frame that broke on me.

Rating + 5 Awesome Headphones!


Pros: I bought a pair of these about 3 months ago after my sony headphones died. The quality for a pair of headphones in this price range is amazing. All the lows are deep and energetic, the highs are extremely crisp and clear. I've had them blasting a few times and haven't had them distort yet. They do an excellent job of filtering out ambient noises as well. I would def recommend a pair to anyone looking for quality sound at a good price.

Cons: Depending on the size of your head and ears they can be a little snug at first. But after you've been wearing them for a bit they kind of reshape to suit you. The cord is very long, not really a con but be aware of it. I use these on my gaming rig so the long cord is perfect for me. Would have been nice to get a volume adjuster on the cord but not really a big deal if you have a multimedia keyboard with volume buttons to adjust on the fly.

Other Thoughts: I was a little skeptical about trying a new brand at first, I've always had sony headphones but I couldn't be any happier with my decision. Get a pair, you won't regret it

Rating + 4 Perfect for Low Budgets


Pros: I bought these headphones for when I go to LAN Party's and don't want to lug around my 5.1 Surround sound. From a gaming perspective of never using headphones I've found myself using these more than my speakers at home now. For the price they have a good low bass and an alright mid rage.

Cons: -Plastic frame feels cheap
-Hurts your ears after use, but were talking like 8 hours and that's to be expected with headphones
-Mid range bass is kinda bleh
-LONG CABLE which has its ups and downs (Good for computers, bad for using it for like an iPod)

Other Thoughts: I had to be really nitpicky to pick out the cons so don't let them get to you. It does come with a 6.3 connector which could be useful someday. Overall I'm extremely happy with the quality of the headphones for the price I payed.

Rating + 5 Love it


Pros: they're light and comfortable. although some people may have a problem with the long cord, I like the fact that I can dance around the room with these headphones.

Cons: the material that wraps around the head isn't as sturdy as I would like. And you may have to go out of your way to make sure these babies don't get scratched, because it seems that it could easily do so.

Other Thoughts: I don't know much about headphones but my friend has a Sony and it's heavier on the head compared to this one. the Sennheiser Eh150 is made light for extended listening.

Rating + 5 Much better than I originally thought!


Pros: These headphones are much much better than I had originally thought. After listening to a bunch of my favorite music I have to say that these headphones are amazing for the price.

I'm hearing details that I never really noticed with my old speakers and headphones. The bass is great and i'm able to get the highs I couldn't get before.

Cons: None!

Other Thoughts: Great value! They really do block a lot of ambient sound.

Rating + 4 First Impressions - Good Value


Pros: My first impressions -

Lightweight!
Compact
Comfortable
Long cord
Blocks out a lot of ambient sound

I like that these headphones fit comfortably and are not too tight or too huge. (Coming from the Plantronics GameCom 367 - these things are great). The speakers adjust along the headband rather than having the headband adjust. They stay in place once adjusted.


The speakers have not yet broken in but already sound very good.

Comes with 6.3mm adapter which will work fine for my guitar amp.

Cons: I know it's not a 'gaming headset' but there is no in-line volume control. This might become an issue while gaming if you need to turn down the volume - you'd have to do that through the game's options.

Other Thoughts: So far it seems like a quality headset. Very comfortable and lightweight and does a good job of blocking ambient sound.

Rating + 5 Awesome


Pros: Excellent bass response, good passive noise canceling, long cord. Sounds better than my nice set of 12" speakers hooked up to my receiver.

Cons: Ear cups could have been a bit bigger. Tight fit for the first couple of weeks. Had the headphones stretched on a can of instant coffee whenever I wasn't wearing them until they loosened up to the point that they weren't putting too much pressure on my ears.

Other Thoughts: Supremely high quality/value for the price. I'm definitely a huge fan of Sennheiser after this set.

I've found myself using these headphones more than my speakers once they broke in. They're fantastic.

Pros: Sound better than my $60 sonys that I used for five years.

Cons: A little tight around my big ears.
For ten dollars more I could have gotten myself a set of EH250's.

Other Thoughts: How much better are the EH 250's?

Pros: -Good sound for the price, better sound quality noticeable even on AC97 audio

Cons: -Difficult to wear comfortably, or for long periods of time
-Feel like they may fall off easily when positioned most comfortably

Other Thoughts: These only seem to be comfortable if rotated forward so that the top headband is just forward of the ears.

Rating + 5 Great headphones


Pros: cheap, circumaural (kind of, see other thoughts), and excellent sound quality.

Cons: long cord. this could go in pros or cons, depending on who is rating them. just know that it will drag on the ground if you dont do something about it.

Other Thoughts: while they dont sit on your ears enough to call them supra-aural (IMO), circamaural is definitely a stretch. they will pinch on your ears painfully after being worn for extended periods of time (>5 hours). also, take note that these headphones do require break in time before they become comfortable. And, on the box, sennheiser says they were "designed for portable use"? why then did they put a cable on it that will drag on the floor?

Rating + 5 Perfect headphones for all uses


Pros: Beautiful headphones that can take a beating and are extremely comfortable. I have used these headphones in conjunction with a desktop USB mic for gaming purposes and they have never let me down. Their wide range of sounds makes gaming perfect and extremely interactive.

Music sounds beautiful on the EH150's. These headphones can handle the deepest of basses and the highest of high notes. They also cut out an extremely high amount of radiant noise. While wearing these headphones, I cannot remotely hear the sound of my computer's fans. The foam padding around the ear cups and on the top of the head band is extremely soft and comfortable.

After listening to these headphones for a year, I've become extremely critical with cheap ipod earbud headphones. These headphones are the best headphones I have ever owned and believe that everyone should listen to music and play games with these headphones.

Cons: If you have poofy hair, these will flatten it on the top and make you look silly after you have worn them for a while :-P.

Other Thoughts: I have a (somewhat :D) large head and ears and these headphones fit perfectly for me. Each earpiece swivels on the connection point to the plastic headpiece. At the connection point, the earpiece will slide up and down the plastic allowing for a wide variety of head sizes.

Also, an important feature to note is the overmolded plastic. You will most likely find that the headphones squeeze your head and may cause too much pressure. If you find this is happening, 'unbend' the plastic piece (don't worry, it can safely be bent to a completely straight line) to help decrease the amount of pressure. Over time the headphones will mold to the size of your head and will become extremely comfortable.

Rating + 4 Great budget headphones, worth it.


Pros: These headphones sound great. I'll be the first to admit that I'm no audiophile, I mean what audiophile would be browsing the bargain bin of headphones with prices like these. However, these headphones are easily the best pair of ~30$ headphones I've ever bought. The audio quailty is definitely up to par and above with great bass response (the treble frequencies can hurt your ears a bit, but it's fine.) Sennheiser really outdid themselves with this budget option. They also come with a really nice added bonus of quasi sound blocking. The headphones really close around your ears so if you put them on your head without music you can only hear like 50% of whats going on around you which all of my co-workers and I was impressed by since it was really random and not at all on purpose.

Cons: I will agree with the many comments about their chord which is absurdly long but it's really an easy solution to keep the twist tie it comes with and just use that when you're on the go (these aren't great on the go headphones btw just because of size and the chord). Otherwise they ARE a little uncomfortable (my ears are slightly large for them but if I wear them JUST right I have no problem wearing them all day with little periods of taking them off to let my ears breath. Otherwise it would be really nice to see an integrated volume control on the headphone wires but that's really not a huge one with me.

Other Thoughts: They're great, and have a really great weight to them. I'd say I'd recommend them definitely. I only took off one egg for the few cons that really didn't mean that much to me.

Pros: These are possibly the best headphones I've ever used. I haven't used many but this is comparing everything under $40. Great range, and the also the most comfortable headphones as well. The ear cups encircle the entire ear, so there is no pressure on the cartilage of your ear. Also cant beat the price.

Cons: The ear cups are kind of flimsy, like they might fall off the connectors if you dropped it far enough.

Other Thoughts: Having gone through multiple pairs of other headphones more expensive than this, these have lasted a year and a half with no problems what so ever.

Pros: Taking into account the price of purchase, I am once again impressed with Sennheiser's economical product. I am not an audio expert, but I have used several headphones that retail for more than these eH150's and they were comparatively bad in terms of build and sound quality.

Cons: My only dissatisfaction with these headphones is the break-in period for comfortable wear. It may just be a drawback of my head, but it takes several days of intermittent use before these headphones can be worn for extended periods of time (1 1/2 to 2+ hours) without any discomfort. The Sennheiser HD497's had the same exact issue and I expect these eH150's will become more comfortable with use.

Considering the price, I can not allow myself to remove even one egg just because of this small discomfort.

Other Thoughts: So my theory with the Sennheiser eH150's were correct and this late model seems to be essentially a closed headphone version of the discontinued Sennheiser HD497's.

Rating + 5 Good Value


Pros: - Good bass not muddy like cheaper counterparts
- The midrange in these is also excellent
- Long cord (nothing worse then a short cable or xtnder)
- Fit nicely on head and are very comfy for long sessions

Cons: - Feel Cheap (plastic ) but aren't at all
- Could of had a volume control on cord

Other Thoughts: Other then that, these headphones are a steal at this price, I bought them for well over $ 80 in the summer before I found out about newegg.ca, and I dont regret it, worth every dollar. Your either a headphone person or not, People saying these are uncomfortable after a while don't like the general feel of headphones.

After one hour, I forget I even heave these babies on !

And They replicated the bass midrange and high frequencies Very good for a budget pair of headphones !

Rating + 2 1 Year's Use...That's It.


Pros: It's relatively cheap and delivers better sound than most headphones. The bass is pretty good, these headphones were great...until they stopped working

Cons: The cord is too long, which is understandable because I guess they're really marketed for DJs who have to move around when spinning. I just tied a rubber band around the cord. Worked fine.
The MAJOR CON: They effin' broke! After just a year's use the right headphone just stopped. Now I can only hear from the left side. So basically, they're unusable and I have to buy another pair. They were pretty cheap so I guess you get what you pay for. Just too bad...

Pros: The headphones are really light and comfortable, so much so you almost forget you have any on. I have a really big head, and it gets hard at times to find headphones that fit comfortably. I am mildly suprised at how well these fit and how good they sound. I would recommend these to anyone.

Rating + 5 Great Set of Cans for Very Modest Cost


Pros: Nice set of cans for what I paid for 'em delivered. The sound is much better, by far, than I expected when I placed my order. For the delivered price, I can't quibble at the out-of-the-box sound and I expect that to get even better after the usual "break in" period. (I adjusted my graphic equalizer to accommodate my personal listening preferences.)

Cons: None whatsoever for what I paid delivered. If I'd paid a lot more for the headphones, I could find a few niggling things to nitpick, but not for NewEgg's sale price with free shipping. Otherwise, see my "Other Thoughts" below...

Other Thoughts: I am petite with a small head and ears. This set of cans completely covers my ears and after 4+ hours of use, I find them VERY comfortable. No, these aren't the equivalent of my high end, background noise canceling Bose cans, but the overall performance versus delivered cost ratio simply cannot be beat, IMO, FWIW. HOWEVER, I can see where someone with a larger head and/or ears might experience some discomfort if wearing these for hours on end. I haven't experienced any discomfort at all and the cans completely cover my ears, but that might not be the case for everyone ... so take that into account. Otherwise, BUY THESE CANS when NE runs 'em on sale with free S&H. You won't be disappointed at what you get for the price! As always, New Egg is AWESOME!!!

Pros: Reasonably comfortable, good stereo imaging running with a SBL Audigy card, bass is tight, no boominess, trebel is acceptably clean. Well constructed, physical appearance is very nice.

Cons: Mid range is a little muddy but tolerable. People with large ears will more than likely find the fit to be somewhat tight and uncomfortable. It's safe to say they're better suited to those with smaller ears.

Other Thoughts: For 20 bucks and shipping, these are an excellent buy. I've owned headphones in a considerably higher price range that didn't sound much if any better. Overall, this is a good set of phones.

Rating + 5 Had them for 3 years and theyre still awesome


Pros: amazing sound. when i first got them it was as if i have never heard music in my life before. first time i had ever used headphones which didnt sound like speakers. they r on a level on their own. and they lasted b for over 3 years already

Cons: the cord is kinda a hassle i try not to run it over with my chair. very long. i used an earfone case to wind it up. also after lots of abuse and i mean 100% volume which is deafening and heavy bass and treble songs, some songs make a small crackle here and there but im not 1000% sure its the headphones cuz even though i didnt hear it on my speakers, but that cud be cuz my speakers r c**p and harder to notice anything. but that lil thing i didnt notice until like the second or third year

Other Thoughts: wouldnt b a bad idea to pay more get the eh-250 or eh-350 i didnt know about them wen i bought these, but sennheiser is the best. if you dont feel like paying a lot and absolutely amazing sound this is it look no further

Pros: I ordered these after numerous sets of earbuds & sport headphones broke. I really only use them at work, so the size is fine. The sound is very good compared to what I've been using, but I'm not an audiophile by any means. All I know is they are comfortable to wear, they silence the outside noise, the music sounds great, and seem to be a good quality product for only $20.00 + Shipping.

Cons: The cord is a bit long, but you can budle it up.

Rating + 5 Great headphones!


Pros: Great sound, extremely confortable (I actually smash my glasses frames against the side of my head while using this, but I don't even notice that much), long cord, great price (got it on sale half off). Ear cups are adjustable (up and down), and are very soft. Plug on the cord is 1/8" for mobile music, but there is a 1/4" adapter for home stereo use. Looks nice, too. Great sound, surprisingly on par with the Sony canal buds I've bought a month or so ago. Ear cushions naturally help block out ambient noise, even though this isn't an active sound-canceling set.

Cons: Long cord (10 feet?? advertised as 'for portable use' too), plugs aren't gold plated (real bummer in this price range), no travel/protective pouch. Probably not necessary, but swiveling earcups/single-exit cord would have been a definite plus for me.

Other Thoughts: I've heard that other people say that the headband is a bit too tight...it's not. That pressure is to prevent it from sliding around when you move while wearing them. This is the first Sennheisers I've bought, and also the first circumaural headphones I've owned, and I wore it for five hours straight right after I got it. I wasn't uncomfortable at all afterwards, and was completely blown away by its performance.

Pros: Great sound quality, deep bass, powerful mid-range. Comfortable and lightweight.

Cons: None, yet.

Other Thoughts: I couldn't be more satisfied with these headphones so far. The sound is incredible, I no longer have any need for my 5.1 surround sound. Music is detailed, crisp, and powerful.

One thing I've noticed is that when I crank my ipod up to max, the mid ranges seem to get a little fuzzy. I have a distinct feeling that it is my ipod though, not the headphones...

Also, I have a very large head and these adjust to fit perfectly. Don't hesitate to buy, I'd easily spend twice or three times as much for these.

Pros: Cheap. Nice brand. Cheap (did I already say that?)

Cons: They're okay for the $$. IMO the headband is too tight, as others have mentioned. Sound quality is good compared to cheapo open air headsets. These have good bass range and overall good frequency response, but they lack the dynamic range of higher end headsets. For a discriminating listener this would translate to a slight muddiness and lack of crispness compared to more pricey headsets.

Other Thoughts: I bought these on impulse ($25 free ship) to use for games without disturbing everyone else and they are fine for that purpose.

Rating + 4 Great headphones for a great price!


Pros: -Great tight, punchy bass.

-Nice midrange sound.

-Comfortable ear cups that are smaller than supra-aural cups but still surround your ear very well.

-Good natural sound isolation; i can't hear the telephone with them on. Plus, they keep the sound in really well, so other people don't have to listen to my music.

-The 10' cord may be a problem for some, but I like having the extra few feet of cord :)

-AWESOME price for the quality.

Cons: -It would have been nice if they only had one cord going to the ear cups (like DJ headphones) like the Sennheiser HD205's, but these headphones weren't designed to be used by DJ's so it's big no problem

Other Thoughts: I was debating getting either these or the EH-250's, but I can't imagine that the 250's would be much betetr than these are. The sound quality is absolutely awesome from the 150's and I don't regret anything about them!

-One thing to note; these headphones probably do require some breaking-in before they sound their best, so they will only get better over time :)

Pros: They fit my large skull fairly well, also there is ample amount of cord to plug in and be able to move around.

Cons: Well, the packaging says they're portable headphones but the cord is a bit long to be plugging in and going on the move.

Other Thoughts: At first my ears hurt a bit after prolonged wearing, but I think I had to break the headphones in a little.

Rating + 5 Great Headphone!!


Pros: Great price, great sound, super comfortable fit, and a cord that is finally long enough to be able to move around and not be tethered close to my pc.

Cons: None at all.

Other Thoughts: Have heard other complaints about these being tight, but they are very comfortable to me. I use these for music, movies, etc, and play long sessions of online games with no discomfort at all. My head is not petite at all.

Rating + 4 They sound ok


Pros: These headphones are wonderful for just turning up the sound, closing your eyes, and listening to the subtleties you find in everyday music. I didn't notice the issue that others had of it hurting their head after wearing for extended periods.

Cons: I'm not sure why, but during the first few seconds I put them on it feels like I'm listening through a giant barrel... Also, the cord is EXTREMELY long. I have it zip tied into a little bunch, though, and it works fine.

Other Thoughts: Don't judge these speakers while listening to mp3s... if possible, go for FLAC.

Rating + 3 great sound, painful fit


Pros: Very nice sound for the price point.

Cons: Felt like having my ears in a vice-grip after about a half hour. They feel a bit flimsy.

Other Thoughts: I know I have a big head, but it's not really that huge. These things squeezed my ears so hard that I could feel my pulse when wearing them. I wanted to try to stretch them out, but they felt so fragile that I was afraid I'd break them. They sounded so good that I tried to give them a chance, but I ended up returning them after a little over a week.
If you've got a small-to-normal-sized head I'm sure you'll love them, but if your head's a virtual planetoid with its own weather system, look elsewhere.

Rating + 4 Quality headphones at a good price


Pros: These headphones sound really good to me, and they cancel the outside noise very well too. I got for $20 on Newegg and I think it's the best deal you'll find on headphones.

Cons: They have slightly small/tight earphones, so if you plan on wearing them for hours they may hurt, but they're comfortable for normal use.

Other Thoughts: They are plastic, and they seem sturdy but they could use a higher quality material. But for the price these are excellent.

Pros: It's great, fits nicely around the head. Isn't too heavy. Adjustable and cancels out noises very well. Way better than other headphones at this price range. Dropped it numerous times on the floor and it still plays perfectly fine like it was new.

Cons: Wish the cable was a bit longer so i can walk out to Burger King and order a Whopper Jr. & Strawberry Shake and still not pause on the video.

Other Thoughts: I've owned other brands. SennH seems to be the best in this category.

Rating + 5 Excellent Sound


Pros: Sound better than my Koss Sparkplug. Also very comfortable when you're get use to it. Bass and Treble are clear and sound good even with my low cost mp3 player from E..., volume at about 70-80% (no amp yet). Covered all of my ears with soft leather, lightweight too.

Cons: Somewhat tight for big heads, long cord get in the way if you're moving alot. Doesn't isolate outside noise very good while the volume turned down (but does well when the volume is crank up though)

Other Thoughts: Overall very satisfy with this. Have to stretch it out a little bit since it's very tight at first. Excellent deal at $19.99 while it's on sale.

Pros: Sound quality is as good as headphones costing 5x more. (the 2 *s are for sound quality) in SOME situations (very small ears) there may be some sound dampening ability (read below)

Cons: These headphones are designed for people with extremely small heads, and small ears. These do NOT go around your ears comfortably as Circumaural headphones do (misleading description). Instead they VERY uncomfortably sit ON your ears, very tightly, squeezing your ears to the side of your head! This is bothersome after only a few minutes, and downright agonizing after many hours. This MAY get better after a few months of breaking in, but I will not keep them long enough to find out! Additionally, due to the fact your ear is not completely covered, any noise dampening ability is relatively useless.

Other Thoughts: I had originally bought these as an impulse when my previous headphones died, because of price. These headphones are not even comfortable enough for me to keep for a few weeks to save for better headphones; they will be going back to the store for another refund and i will be purchasing a pair of sennheiser's higher end models which actually DOES fit well and is comfortable for extended use. additionally, a previous reviewer said that all headphones are uncomfortable, this is NOT true, many higher end headphones for $50 and up have the sound quality of these, AND feel comfortable; you should not settle for something which feels like this.

Pros: Sound are crisp and clear, now I can tell the difference between 128 Kbit/s and 192 Kbit/s :] even 64 Kbit/s or lower sounds better. Bass is NOT boomy, it varies depends on songs as 1 has more than the other. Can easily tell L/R at night. Adjustable(moves vertically) earcups.

Cons: Confortable for the ears, but not for 2+ hours of continuous use. But through my experience, take them off just for a couple seconds then put it back on and it feels comfortable again (for some reason XD )

Other Thoughts: I thought it was WHITE, but it was light silver =p Definitely a decent headphones, especially when this's on sale for half price *thumbs up*.

Pros: For less than $30 shipped w/tax (TN), these headphones definitely can't be beat. Unfortunately, I am using on-board Realtek audio on my laptop, so I can't use the full potential of these headphones. I'm thinking about pairing it up with a Audigy 2 PCMCIA sound card, I just know it would be so much louder and more clear.

Cons: None ('cept for my onboard audio)

Other Thoughts: I bought these instead of rum.

Rating + 5 Best Bang for your Buck


Pros: First off, listening to something in these headphones is like heaven on earth. I was hearing different small things in songs I've not heard there before, even on my nice surround sound system. These are plenty confortable and have a long enough cord to where I can plug in and go sit in my recliner to watch a movie at night.

Cons: The 10' cord could be a double edged sword of sorts. . .It is def. nice to have a long cord to things such as going and sitting in the recliner or laying on the bed, but if you are going to just be using them while sitting directly infront of your computer I would thing it would be best to just undo some of the cable and keep the extra slack bound near point of plugin.

Other Thoughts: If you are a gamer, these headphones are awesome. You will be able to clearly hear when someone is coming up on you in a FPS and they are extremely comfortable for those sometimes lengthy gaming sessions. All in all, you def. can not beat this product for the money. . .and as always, Newegg is the cheapest place to get'em.

Rating + 5 Nice Sound - Nice Price


Pros: Great sound, very very comfortable, the bass is bold but not overpowering. The treble is crisp. It must be 10-20 decibles quieter when you put these on, they really shut out background noise. Turn the music on to a normal level and the outside noise is almost completely unnoticible.

Cons: 10' cable could be annoying at times, but it is nice for plugging into a computer.

Other Thoughts: The headphones DO anjust size. The sliders are built into the ear pieces, and slide up and down. Kind of hard to explain, but don't worry about the pictures (they look like a one-size-fits-all), it does adjust.

Rating + 5 very good headphones for the price


Pros: -full and clear sound, with little to no boominess (especially after adjusting equalizers), works for a variety of music genres. i'm not a gamer, and can't evaluate them in that regard.
-comfy during my average length of use, around 90-120 minutes. plenty of cord.
-these are easily the best sub-$50 headphones i've heard. they easily outperform my old $xx Jensens in terms of sound and comfort.

Cons: extended use (upwards of 2.5 hrs at a time) may be taxing on the ears, as these are not truly circumaural headphones like the higher-end sennheisers.

Other Thoughts: verdict: as always, sennheiser headphones and newegg prices/shipping rock.

Rating + 4 Decent headphones


Pros: Reasonable comfortable and sound quality for the price. Closed design blocks out a lot of external noise. You'll have to take them off to talk to someone.

Cons: none.

Other Thoughts: I read many of the reviews and they seem to all be super positive or negative. The truth lies somewhere in beween. I think that it depends upon your perspective. They are much much better than the freebees that you get with CD players, but not quite as good as a truely high-quality set of audiophile headphones.

Before purchase, I had hoped that they would be more comfortable, have better sound quality, and better physical quality than they actually have. WIth that said, they are a decent set of headphones and I am happy with them.

Pros: Very great sound - I've heard things I've never heard before from a few songs. I can hear everything really clearly and crisply.

Cons: As with any headphone, prolonged length of use hurts the ears. It doesn't help that the inside of the earphone is hard, but I think I can insert some pads so this won't become too big of a problem.

Other Thoughts: I listen to music almost constantly, whether I'm by myself or hanging out at a public place on campus. These headphones make my experience enjoyable.
