About the comfort... [Posted on 2007-11-14]
For those who say it is uncomfortable, it's probably because you have a bigger head. Just extend the headphones to their max, and it should feel fine from there.
Aside from comfort, the headphones do have great sound, and they're sounding better the longer I listen to them.
The headphones, though, are made of cheap materials. That's the only drawback. otherwise, an excellent deal.
Good [Posted on 2008-01-09]
Very good cans for the money. Will impress most users except the demanding audiophile, then again, not audiophile priced headphones. Quite comfortable for long wear and convinient cable winder. Great gift item.
good enough [Posted on 2008-05-05]
great sounding headphones.
1 these headphones are huge, so there is the sound with them and the size.
2 you need a little more power to drive them
3 they sound great but not as good as the iluv noise cancellers. that is what is missing.
Ok Not Fabulous [Posted on 2008-08-25]
I've been in radio for 27 years and Sennheiser makes the best headphones on the planet. Period. These, however, are not their best effort. Sure, they sound great and are reasonably comfortable to wear, but the notched headband is not that sturdy and will strip inside of a year. Bring back the ond 414s!!!!!
Sennheiser is all I ever buy anymore [Posted on 2008-10-05]
I bought this pair as a replacement for a pair of HD 555's I bought and was EXTREMELY pleased with, as they got a short and need to be repaired. Luckily for you and me, Sennheiser's have a 2 year warranty with every set of cans, even this very economically priced one. That means if anything goes wrong with these headphones that you paid a measly $30-40 for in the next 2 years, you can send them in to be repaired for free. Sennheiser is all about quality, and it shows with every set of headphones they make.
The HD 415's are not only very cheap, but for the price they are pretty damn good. they're nowhere as amazing as my HD 555's, but you're still going to hear a lot of detail that you just won't hear with ANY OTHER pair of headphones in this price range. It doesn't matter if it's Sony of Philips or what have you, in this price range you're NOT going to get any better than THIS PAIR OF HEADPHONES.
It is true the Bass is a little muffled. It reminds me somewhat of Koss headphones of the past, which I enjoyed thoroughly because although the bass always seemed to be muffled with Koss, it did have a habit of bumping a bit, and that is a lot like what the HD 415's do. They won't offer the crystal clear clarity of Bass that the HD-500 series does, but if you're not a TOTAL audiophile or if you're strapped for cash like I was, these are a decent set of headphones for Bass.
As for everything else, it does it great. I'd say the quality of the stereo is about 70-75% of what my HD 555's were, so for less than half the price you're getting a pretty good deal.
Most amazing to me about Sennheiser is their ability to make a pair of headphones that is just.....the most comfortable thing you will ever put on your head. Yes, MORE comfortable than a nice worn in old baseball hat.
This pair in particular I was amazed by, as the price didn't make it look as if the comfort would be very good at all, and if you look at the picture the actual cans look to be made from cheap and uncomfortable material.
If that's what's stopping you, I urge you...BUY IT....TRY IT...this is one of the most COMFORTABLE pairs of headphones I have ever bought. The other one was my HD 555's. The first time I put these babies on though, I was SHOCKED. I literally couldn't stop smiling and laughing giddily as I realized that these headphones GENTLY CARESS YOUR EARS like a nice warm hug from a loved one. They could easily double as earmuffs for those in cold areas (such as myself) as they keep your ears nice and warm and fluffy. I'd say one could wear them for about 8-10 hours before becoming bothered at all.
The only issue I have with this pair of headphones is that the cable is somewhat thin and not as protected as Sennheiser's HD-500 series, and as such you might have to be a little careful with them. However, the cable is also very long, so your only task is not to trip, you clumsy fool.
