I hate the sound signature, the highs and mids were just way too recessed IMO. They do isolate a nice amount of noise and they are quite comfortable for on-ear headphones. I wish they had smoother and crisper highs.
Worst headphones ever had. Plug was broken in 2 days, bit tight just for kidheads, not stretchable for your head comfort or in other words- you can stretch for a minute but pressure does it's own. Sound, ... huh, what sound?- threw the pain in my ears can't remember anything. Tip for djing people- NO!
I have these headphones, i plug them into logitech z5500 surround sound system an this gives them 5.1 virtual surround sound, but i've just bought a pair of turtle beach px11, so i wont ever use these headphones again, waitin to get razor tiamat true 7.1 surround sound headphones for my pc
they are meant to be on ear headphones :| and they're tight until you work them in after a while they will loosen up, and in terms of sound quality they are miles ahead of most similar priced headphones
these are a crap pair of headfones. had mine for less than a week and they broke. highly recomend not gettin em. the right speaker thing swings for u to listen to the live music playing. it broke after 2 hours. they are CRAP,
Hey how is the bass on this. What s the difference between this and the HD 215; Am asking of bass as I bought a PX200 2 and sold it the next day... Please respond and help me buy one ... Thank you
@gallaashish hey this HD 205 are pretty good for overall music listening. But if you are specifically interested in Bass response then HD 215 will be a better bet, but they are quite expensive compared to 205's. I would also suggest at this price point you want to check out HD 518 which is also pretty good.
@gallaashish Terrible bass, i would say, so don't buy them. Get AKG K81 instead, like i did. The HD215's are more neutral and have brighter sound but i must say that the AKG's have much lower and better bass.
I have had these for few months.. Ears hurt like hell after a few hours of listening and the sound quality really isn't the best. Can't handle bass very well.. Gives static or something at times when it goes really deep. Also, these are loose as hell and I never dropped these or anything... I'd say go for something else if it you can afford it.
Obviously these are good for the price range though, these aren't BAD in anyway, just could have used some fine tuning make 'em perfect...
Why do people always comment on here that beats are better!! These Sennheiser HD205 are great for their price point so don't knock them and if you compared the beats by dre to a pair of headphones in their price range they would definitely come out second best!!
@yesudasnaidu Thats what I mean these HD 205s are the best headphones you can get at this price, the beats by dre are overpriced and are not a good buy in their price range.
@yesudasnaidu Yeah it doesn't make sense, I see people saying BEATS ARE BETTER blahblahblah on every video for headphones. Theyre all just sheep that succumb to trends and clever marketing. These people only spend $150-$400 for Beats headphones for the looks and because they're trendy. There are plenty of better options for sound in that price range. and Saying beats are better than these headphones is irrelevant because these are $40-$90 headphones, and yes they are very good for the price!
@joshuagen0cide no that isnt true. i have a few family and friends that have beats, so i wanted them. but i actually got the beats and theyre amazing. theyre really alot better quality and theyre worth the 400 dollars. im not saying theyre better, but its better than basically all the headphones i use. and they do look sexy
@momothelemur i had a pair if k77's and they were giid but they squeezed my ears and after prolly 3 weeks if having them i was running upstairs and the chord got caught on my stair rail. ( thats why i hate super long chords
Bought a pair, within a week the left ear stopped emitting any sound and after an hour of use your ears hurt from what can only be described as a padded vice.
Returned them, got a pair of HD 215 II headphones and life is good again.
I'm very disappointed at this product. I had to return the first one due to sharp buzzing sound in the right earbud whenever there was a strong bass. Now the second product has the same issue 10x louder, but in the left earbud.
2/5. Had a lot of promise, but I'm personally disappointed by it.
Can other people around you hear what you are listening to?
I have bought them, but I dont know if I should return them. Because I dont like when other people around me can hear what I'm listening two.. I like to listen to loud music.. So, it's not always something people around me like.
@sinz187 um dickhead i mite review phones but that dosent mean i dont know about other technology and i noee coz i had beats and they are not worth the money :)
i have them 2 !! and they god good and nice qualty of music !! and they are realy comfortible !! 8/10 !!!! i have to wear them +2 wheeks and they wil be change a litle bit tho ur head sice and wil giv u alot comfort //**** 1 of the best headphones !!! and tha cable is like 3m long and not 2m

@mrjkhmusicman havent used the HD 448 so cant comment, bt the headphones have very good sound isolation by themself...they sit tight on ur ears even that helps in isolation
i just got mine and im using it to listen to u lol. i like it the sound is very clear and loud. but the bass is not good enuff for my taste and its pretty tight witch gets anoying after a while. alsso witcshss iss best this one or beats by dre solos?
is they nice to wear for your head, and is it possible that you can jogging with them on without they are falling of or jumping to much on your head? :)

I think they could be good gaming headset (if u dont mind the headphones being a bit tight), also they do not have a microphone to talk into........bt the long chord is welcome....
hi, im interested in buying this headset and i'm wondering if it will be suitable to also be used as a gaming headset as well. much appreciated jeevan
hey u have a good budget to buy the headphones, there are so many models available in that range. I suggest you check out some of Bose headphones, they are excellent overall performers. For bass i would suggest senneheiser HD 212 pro, realeased few years back but still pretty good headphones for bass...
i wanna buy a nice pair of headphones for about 50-100 bucks. the isolation (intereieur to exterieur and inverse) is also very important for me as i dont want to bother others around while listening to some music. what is ur recommandation?
But you didn't mention the most important thing: the sound quality.
Is this one of those awful 'enhanced bass' headphones so favoured by the boom-boom generation, or do they have a balanced response with clear sparkling high frequencies?
Also, how well do they insulate from the outside world?
The HD 202 are undoubtedly much more comfortable than the 205's. Only thing is that 205's are a little bit better than 202's in sounds quality....bt then they lack the comfort factor.. i suggest 202's if u looking at comfort
the 202's i assume are more comfortable since they are over the ear type. i never listened to the 202's personally so i can't compare sound quality. the 205's i have are amazing in sound quality. far better then the highly marketed monster beats solo or crappy skull candies. the comfort issue people complain about on these can be simple to fix by stretching these on a chairs arm leg or computer tower overnight.. they require burn-in time also to relax the drivers.
ok...these headphones sound rlly great. But they hurt my head soo much. They r sooo tight..literally..tight on your ears/head. Dnt buy these. Buy the hd 203s. Theyr a lil cheaper anyway. but much better quality!!!
I want to buy these. I never had any type of headphones or earphones of more than $20 dollars. All of my 'phones were what came with my mp3 player. Will these Sennheiser 'phones "blow me away"?
@xsCrApPybXx You can pick up a refurbished pair from Amazon for around $15 right now. Reviews on head-fi.org have shown that they're pretty good for their price range, and either way, you won't be out much if it turns out you don't like them.
I've had some of these for about 2 years, but they are uncomfortable after a short while - thats my MAIN issue with these (I have some Sennheiser 580's - so i'm probably spoilt here:)
i have a few problems with this model: they're tight, which gets uncomfortabe after about half an hour, especially if you wear earrings like me...the extra long chord, its bulkiness- which causes me to go back to my crappy old earphones 'cause it's such a hassle to carry 'em around in my bag, it looks like a pair that would only look good for men, and last but not least, people around me can hear to the songs i listen to! or so i've been told. i'm currently selling mine. any takers?
yep, i agree with the the first two problems, many users find the headphones very tight and the chord tooo long......bt i think the sound is contained much better in this headphones than many of the others that i have used......
i just ordered these the other day. pretty excited. does it leak any sound at all? say im listening to music at average volume in school. will the people around me hear my music?
I think u shd be prety safe at average volume...thr is so leak or anything at medium volumes.....i wonder if u would be able to hear the people though :-)
I got this headphone, and the sound is great! only the bass is not very deep. It even wears really good. excuse me for bad enlish, I only wanna help xD
real nice headphones, they look smart if you go out and about the bag is also cool, leather i think and the sound quality is nice for bass, not too bassy though, its just right so the sound is clear and not distorted
@yesudasnaidu I bought other headphones instead (philips,dont know the number) Skullcandy is just style, no quality at all i had one and it broke in 2 months
skullcandy is so garbage. the warranty is cool, that you can send it in and they give you new ones in return. but whats the point if they keep breaking, right?
the sound quality is very good for the headphones, i think the major difference would be the comfort level while using both the headphones........the 212 might be more comfy
The Sennheiser headphones are good for it's price. They have a nice quality sound. They have a rich bass, but it may be a little bit more bass. The Sennheiser headphones are ment to be a DJ headphone, so they are tight and that's because they mute, passive, the environment sound. The earcups are small, but after a few times wearing it's OK. It's a good headphone! I recommend this for all of you.
I bought some skull candy's and they were crap! they didn't go very loud, you could still hear alot when you had them on full and they sometimes crackled on full volume. (pink ti fur) so I am considering getting these, but are they closed cups? cause I also like the 201's and the 202's but not sure which to get? any help guys? xxx
hey yesudasnidu you could have turned them on so we got an idea of sound leakage! and you could have modeled them too so we can see what they look like on! lol
hi, they sit quite smugly on ur ears and u vl hav very little or almost no ambient sounds. yep u can play at full volume and the headphones are quite fine......no distortion
I bought SkullCandy HESH headphones but a part of thm cracked(I noticerd it today and ive had them for about 2 months) so now im looking for Sennheiser headphones becouse i heard it is good quality stuff
nice review but when are u gonna put the darn thing on

The sit on the ear instead of over it, and they fill only fit nicely if you have a small head.

Bought mine a few weeks back, can't use them for long, and about to throw them away now.,

As for sound, as long as I can hear it that's good enough.

@xsCrApPybXx no,mine broke in three weeks

@xsCrApPybXx You can pick up a refurbished pair from Amazon for around $15 right now. Reviews on head-fi.org have shown that they're pretty good for their price range, and either way, you won't be out much if it turns out you don't like them.

can you use the 205s with a ps3?
LegacyReckLeSs1 1 year ago
the PS3 doesnt have a 3.5mm headphone jack, so guess u wont be able to use it with the ps3

@LegacyReckLeSs1
Yes, you can. Just plug it into your TV's audio plug.

I've had some of these for about 2 years, but they are uncomfortable after a short while - thats my MAIN issue with these (I have some Sennheiser 580's - so i'm probably spoilt here:)
Thanks

i have a few problems with this model: they're tight, which gets uncomfortabe after about half an hour, especially if you wear earrings like me...the extra long chord, its bulkiness- which causes me to go back to my crappy old earphones 'cause it's such a hassle to carry 'em around in my bag, it looks like a pair that would only look good for men, and last but not least, people around me can hear to the songs i listen to! or so i've been told. i'm currently selling mine. any takers?
ThePoisonedApple2 1 year ago
yep, i agree with the the first two problems, many users find the headphones very tight and the chord tooo long......bt i think the sound is contained much better in this headphones than many of the others that i have used......

I just bought the 205 and it's still in the box, but i also have the 212 pro. Do you know the difference between them?
I think the 205 looks nicer, I'm not too sure about the sound quality though. Thanks, nice review.
v10redline 2 years ago
how do they look when you put them on? do the look cool?:P cuz ive been looking for good quality headphones(sennheiser) that dont look too bad
SakaryaliSazci 2 years ago
they look quite nice while on.....bt not stylish like the skullcandy ones......bt still they have their own charm
yesudasnaidu 2 years ago
@yesudasnaidu I bought other headphones instead (philips,dont know the number) Skullcandy is just style, no quality at all i had one and it broke in 2 months
SakaryaliSazci 2 years ago
skullcandy is so garbage. the warranty is cool, that you can send it in and they give you new ones in return. but whats the point if they keep breaking, right?
and i think the quality is garbage too.
shanebanana 2 years ago
yeah i agree.
SakaryaliSazci 2 years ago
the sound quality is very good for the headphones, i think the major difference would be the comfort level while using both the headphones........the 212 might be more comfy

My REVIEW:
The Sennheiser headphones are good for it's price. They have a nice quality sound. They have a rich bass, but it may be a little bit more bass. The Sennheiser headphones are ment to be a DJ headphone, so they are tight and that's because they mute, passive, the environment sound. The earcups are small, but after a few times wearing it's OK. It's a good headphone! I recommend this for all of you.

CradleOfBabies 2 years ago
I bought some skull candy's and they were crap! they didn't go very loud, you could still hear alot when you had them on full and they sometimes crackled on full volume. (pink ti fur) so I am considering getting these, but are they closed cups? cause I also like the 201's and the 202's but not sure which to get? any help guys? xxx

hey yesudasnidu you could have turned them on so we got an idea of sound leakage! and you could have modeled them too so we can see what they look like on! lol

hi i got them just Under £ 20, but i guess the you will have to pay around £25 pounds now for the headset

most important. The price?
DavidArt159 2 years ago
