Excellent Sound for the Money, but... [Posted on 2003-01-19]
These little guys blow away all of the standard headphones that come with various portable units and computers. I'm sure that if you want to spend more, you could get better sound. But these have a nice spacious, well-balanced sound. I've tried them on both jazz and classical, using my Walkman with Bass Boost, and I'm very pleased. And they are *very* comfortable. They seem to float on your ears. Now for the "but...". The cord is heavy and 10 feet long. You might look at that as a positive, but I've found myself tripping over it. It's a lot of extra cord to deal with if you just want to put a walkman in your pocket. On the other hand, if you want to use it attached to a computer or other non-portable player, that would be an advantage. I also wish that there was a volume control/mute on the cord, and I wish that the cord went only to one earpiece, rather than running up to both. But these are very small complaints. For the cost of this set, it's unreasonable to expect to have both great sound and convenience features.
Excellent for the price [Posted on 2003-05-06]
These are probably the best headphones you'll find in this price range. They'll never compare to really nice over-the-ear designs like Sennheiser's higher-end models, but they make a great bargain for something you can take with you almost anywhere, without worrying too much over theft or damage. I use them with the computer and a portable CD player; I haven't noticed any of the lack of bass several other reviews have complained about. While they aren't as bass-heavy as the latest Sony MegaEarDrumBurster model, these can actually reproduce more than one bass note! Imagine that! Almost every set of headphones in this price range seems to cram everything below about 1 KHz into a low rumbling; these manage to actually reproduce decent bass. As for comfort, they are great - as long as you take care to put the little plastic nubbin in the center over roughly over your ear canal. They can get a little warm in summer, though. One final tip: the 10ft cord can get a little annoying. Just loop it up a few times near the plug and zip-tie it off to get the length more managable.
Sounded good untill they started buzzing. [Posted on 2003-06-29]
Tough to rate because I don't know if these headphones are prone to buzzing or whether it's just my pair.
However, untill they started buzzing, these headphones gave good sound quality. They have a long cord, which makes it somewhat cumbersome for listening on the go, but nice for listening to stuff at home. Fortunately for me, they have a 2 year warranty.
For their price, these are a good pair, but you can probably find better.
Great response and LOVE the cord length! [Posted on 2006-03-30]
I agree, for the price these can't be beat! A GREAT range and the length of the cord is a plus when connected to your computer at work and you have to move around your cube. I love these headphones!
A low end high-end [Posted on 2006-05-29]
Got these for CA$50. First impression: poor material and build quality for a Sennheiser. The headband is a cheap-looking, poorly molded plastic piece, got rather sharp material leftovers along edges. Had to arm myself with a pen knife and spent half an hour removing and smoothing those. The speakers don't hold in place well, so frequent re-adjusting is needed. Sound quality is ok, nothing extraordinary, rather flat and dry; I get a better response from my old $20 Radioshack pieces. Cord length (some 10 ft) is a plus, but there is no volume control on the cord. To sum up: cheap headphones from a reputable manufacturer. Want to flash the Sennheiser logo --- go and buy these, otherwise I guess you can get a better bang for $50.
