    • Very surprised!
I've only had these for an hour, but already I know these are a keeper. Pulled the trigger on them seeing that they were at 47% off. My first pair of open back phones, so I am not really used to the lack of noise isolation, but I'm getting used to it. The benefits, of course, is an incredible, wide soundstage, an open, airy sound. More like your ears are close to speakers, rather than being enclosed in headphones. Sound leakage is par for the course here due to the nature of them. The out-of-the-box sound is really quite good. Surprisingly good bass extension for open backs. Quite detailed mids, although upper mids/lower treble is a little lacking, they do have a bump in the highest registers. All of this can be remedied with an EQ. I use them with my Denon RCD-M41 which has an adjustable headphone gain for higher impedance headphones. Although at 50 ohms, they are relatively easy to drive. I find the "mid" gain setting to be just right. If the bass is boosted at the source, then at higher volumes you can detect a bit of distortion, but that is at a level that I rarely listen at. I haven't taken them off since I received them - they are really quite comfortable. Easy clamping force, and the materials used on the ear cups and the head band relief are very soft. Great for long term listening. No real cons what so ever, although a small gripe - there is no included 3.5mm adapter. My Denon unit only has a 3.5mm headphone jack, so I had to order that separately. But, I also found a replacement cable that has the locking mechanism that is on the original cable, made for Sennheiser headphones that do terminate in a 3.5mm plug. Better than using an adapter in my opinion. Overall, quite surprised, and satisfied with them. Now I can listen to my Vinyl and CD's without being compressed through Bluetooth. ... show more

    • 2 years on, still great!

I got these since I was tired of buying cheap headphones and having to replace them every year due to them breaking. I spent so much money on headphones, and they were never even comfortable and good sounding. SO, I saved up money and spent them on something more expensive. Review! -They are comfortable. I have chronic migraines and things, like headphones, pressing too hard on my head can quickly trigger them. I have never had such an issue with these. -They sound great! I am not an audiophile, so I can't go into detail, but they sound SO GOOD compared to what I had before. Something something sound-stage, I can hear stuff around me better instead of just left/right. -DURABLE. These things can bend and take damage pretty well. I OBVIOUSLY would never hurt these things intentionally, but accidents happen. I've walked away with the chord plugged in a few times, these things have been dropped, stepped on, whatever. It happened. and they don't even have a scratch. -When I first bought these I didn't know I'd need an amplifier? Or adapter thing. These things don't end in a normal headphone plug, it's very large and you need to buy your own adapter thing to be able to plug it in. BUY THE GOOD ONES. Don't buy a cheap 7$ one- just get the 20$ one. The sound will be way worse if you buy a cheap one. -They're open-back headphones which means that they bleed noise and are not very good at noise canceling. For me, this is a PLUS because I live in a house with people that sometimes want my attention, and having noise canceling means I wouldn't notice. + I like being able to hear myself so I don't accidentally get very very loud and annoy everyone else. -The chord never tangles! OK that's it! ... show more

    • Excellent sound quality, roomy ear cups, good overall value.
I bought several pairs of headphones before landing on these and I’m very happy with them. I had a set budget and at just under $100.00 these were right on my price point. I knew I wasn’t going to spend huge bucks but I still wanted something with good sound. Although these are in the lower-mid range of the Sennheiser product line, the sound quality is, at least to my ears, very good. I am no audiophile, I just know what sounds good to me. These have nice bass response without feeling like my eardrums are being beaten up. Mid and upper range sounds clear and clean. I use an iPad to listen to music and I commonly like it fairly loud. The sound with these stays good all the way to max volume. One of the best features is that the ear cups are nice and large, completely surrounding my ears. I wear glasses and ear cups that are smaller smash my ears over the arms of my glasses against my head. After an hour or so of listening, the area where my glasses loop behind my ears would become so tender I couldn’t stand it. Maybe I have larger ears... I don’t know for sure but I do know that with these I don’t have that issue. The reason I didn’t give these five stars is two-fold: 1) The cord is just too long. It’s a relatively heavy duty cord compared to some, which I appreciate. However, the cord is every bit of 12 feet long. If I were walking around a bunch maybe it would be handy, but for just sitting in my chair listening or sitting at my hobby bench listening while I’m working, the cord becomes a lot to manage. 2) The padding on the ear cups is a little too firm. I’m hoping it will soften over time, but in the meantime they would be more comfortable if the padding had a little more give to it. ... show more

    • The best headphones I have ever owed.
These are the best headphones I have ever owned the sound is very much a studio sound no coloration. They are very durable. However I recommend getting the Mr Rex headphone cord as the one that comes with it only lasted about a year However the headphones are absolutely amazing and please don’t let the cord issue affect your purchase because these are a bargain and sound better than much more expensive headphones. And yes I would recommend and buy them again. ... show more
