HD 205-II Studio Grade DJ Headphones (Black/Grey)

I am not by any means an audiophile, I just wanted some solid headphones to bump while studying or walking to and from campus and just general use. When i first got the headphones I was very pleased with the feel, they fit quite snug but once you've had them on for 10 minutes or so you find a sweet spot and they feel great. I was pretty disappointed with the sound when I first listened, the quality was superb but I was under the impression that these headphones delivered great bass. While i fiddled with sources, EQ settings and all sorts of things I did not feel they were living up to their glowing reviews. I finally realized that perhaps my iPod, phone, and laptop needed some help powering these bad boys and so I brought an amp into the mix. Once there was sufficient power to drive the 'phones I could not wipe the smile from my face. The sound quality was still amazing, incredibly clear highs and mids, and the bass was absolutely thumping! These headphones are definitely a high-quality product at a bargain price right out of the box, but if you are looking for more bass or volume to rattle your brain a bit more, I would highly recommend a simple amp like the Fiio E5 to give these headphones the juice they need to deliver sound nearer their potential. Overall, very pleased with the item though, they look steezy, not too flashy, they are comfortable, and they deliver an experience, not just sound.

These headphones are quite good for what they provide: Excellent sound quality for a reasonable amount of money. These are at the same level as some $100 and $200 pairs. PROS: • Cheap for the quality: 60 bucks is a steal. • The range definitely beats many more expensive pairs (14 Hz - 20 kHz) • The rotatable right ear cup makes one-ear on-the-fly monitoring easy • Gold plated jacks for superior sound quality • Screw-on 8.5mm jack • Sleek and sturdy, it even comes with it's own carrying bag NEUTRALS: • If you are a bass lover, be prepared to be disappointed. These are light on the bass, so please go running to greener pastures with your HD 202 IIs and your Beats • 3 meter cord (I, personally, would never need it that long, but it comes in handy if you do) CONS: • Slightly uncomfortable during long-time use. These are meant for a quick check of things, not to listen and enjoy for hours on end. Overall, I would give this a 8.5/10. It has quite a wide range of use, but has room for improvement. If you want something specifically for studio work though, Sennheiser's HD 280 Pros will work just fine. And they're only $90.

I really love these headphones. I have great street cred:>) so never mind with the audiophile posing...seriously, I prefer 2-way speaker systems with subwoofer if the speakers require it, and strive for natural sound to play music and home theater. I have been using Dolby home systems since early 1990s, with Laserdisc (12" optical disks) player, Pro Logic systems from Denon and Yamaha, and I might have had an Onkyo...but my Dolby Digital 5.1 system is a Panasonic, because I saw that it was just as good as the boutique models, and I was able to simplify the increasing difficulty of managing so many remotes. My speakers are Infinity, Polk, and I have a system from RCA, which are usually crap, but they have these amazing ribbon tweeters that allow me to have timbre matching the entire system, including dipole surround speakers (and yes, the center channel also has the same tweeter). In my cars, I usually go with a 6" 2-way system with separate tweeters, but that is standard now. That was my idea:>) OK, maybe others knew about it too. The first "high end" car system I put together was bi-amped. My first new car system was build with 2-way Infinity's with 2 8" subwoofers, which allowed me to keep the gain low and clean. That is what I like. Natural sound, and loud enough so that at my highest comfortable level, all of the components are operating at or below their sweet spot you could say. Some components, like speakers, can occasionally have poor sound when there isn't enough gain. That is how I like it; clean, natural. These Senheisers are not my first of the brand, but I never heard this model before. They are fantastic. These are the best headphones I've ever listened to, but the bad news is that in spite of all my experience and tastes, I never went nuts for headphones because I like hearing the sound in an environment. I assume everyone can hear the difference between headphones and speakers, like when you turn your head...some seem not to mind. I usually just don't like headphones and they are almost always a compromise. I bought these because I need to do some vocal tracking, and I will be running the gear so I want to hear only the mix. I need physical isolation from my own voice, as much as possible. I expected them to sound clean. The bass response is way better than any I have tried before. Even though I didn't own a lot of high-end headphones, I did work in an electronics retailer that meant I could try any I wanted (not to mention a great discount). So I heard a lot of good ones, but never bought any good ones. I just didn't want to spend so much, and the cheaper models just didn't satisfy me. I hope that helps somewhat more than just saying"I am an audiophile." I think that is too easy to be taken wrong. The full frequency response is flawless to my ears. I am hard to please, but not ridiculously so. My favorite floor-standing speakers are Polk, with 2 woofers per site, but identical drivers. I don't like the sound when there is more than one crossover. Having these headphones with great highs and lows (and all in between, since there are no crossovers) is just amazing. This is unprecedented for me, but I am actually buying a set for each member of my family (that performs music, a little more than half of them). It totally makes sense to have the same set, when you can get this great quality, and when you each spend time alone mixing your own tracks, I expect it will make it easier to collaborate.

I have not tried any headphones over 200$. compared to JBL these headphones have slightly less bass but are extremely detailed. Good bass, excellent mids and highs. Better all round sounds than JBL syncros or AKG Y50, best sound and clarity goes to my monster n pulse. These are the only headphones I owned once and purchased for full price again. They are worth the 80$ if you are looking for clear all round sound, do not expect bass like earbuds or akg, monster, or beats. At 112 decibels they are loud as JBL and AKG.

Ce casque m'avais été recommandé par quelqu'un ayant déjà été en sa possession et c'est vrai que la qualité du son est vraiment bien, c'est le premier casque que j'ai avec un aussi bon son et c'est vraiment agréable. J'appréhendais le fait que, dans beaucoup de commentaires, on évoque ce mal d'oreille au bout de même pas une heure, mais heureusement il n'en ai rien, je peux le porter des heures et ça ne me fait absolument rien, même avec mon piercing hélix ! Il est bien réglable et ajustable pour tous. Très bon casque, je recommande sincèrement.

Trotz einiger Bedenken aufgrund der vielen mehr oder weniger schlechten Rezensionen hier, habe ich die Kopfhörer vor zwei Tagen schließlich doch bestellt und sie heute erhalten. Ich muss ganz ehrlich sagen, dass ich nicht verstehen kann, warum man hier so viele tendenziell negative Meinungen über dieses Produkt lesen kann. Natürlich gibt es bessere Kopfhörer, aber für rund 40€ sind diese meiner Meinung nach völlig in Ordnung. Und natürlich kann man die wahre Qualität erst nach einiger Zeit erfahren, nach mehrmaliger Benutzung, aber sie machen einen soliden Eindruck (wirken nicht, als würden sie jeden Moment auseinander fallen) und scheinen eine lohnende Investition zu sein. Ich habe extra 'DJ-Kopfhörer' bestellt, da ich sie an meinen Gitarrenverstärker anschließe, um mein Spiel klar und möglichst ohne störende Nebengeräusche zu hören. Hierfür sind das einseitige 3 Meter Kabel und der 6,3 Adapter hervorragend geeignet und über den Sound kann ich mich auch nicht beklagen - für meine Zwecke allemal ausreichend. Das einzige kleine Minus ist die Optik: Ich habe als Frau einen eher kleinen Kopf und da wirken Die Hörer etwas groß, was mich aber nicht weiter stört, da ich sie ja sowieso nur zu Hause benutze. Der Vorteil daran: Mir passen sie sehr gut (was ja oft bemängelt wird), da mein Kopf eben so klein ist - sie drücken überhaupt nicht unangenehm. Ansonsten entspricht das Design dem auf den Fotos. Zur Hülle: Ich hatte ehrlich gesagt eine Hardcoverhülle erwartet (weiß auch nicht warum...), aber der Kunstlederbeutel ist auch super ;)

Come scritto in tante altre recensioni, queste cuffie fanno davvero il loro mestiere. Non sono granché esperto come audiofilo, ma sento distintamente la differenza tra queste cuffie e le altre che ho in giro per casa (Koss PortaPro, Sennh HD201, Bose InEar modello vecchio) in termini di pienezza dello stage, brillantezza delle note e precisione. Per intenderci, nei file audio di buona qualità (parlo di file FLAC lossless a 24bit) si sentono distintamente anche i suoni di fondo come le dita che scorrono sulle corde delle chitarre e ho notato persino dei nuovi livelli audio suonati da Jordan Rudess ne The Count of Tuscany versione studio, per non parlare del clicker del metronomo in molti pezzi de The Classical Conspiracy degli Epica, cose che non avevo mai notato con le cuffie citate prima. Tuttavia, quello che sottolineano in molti a proposito della loro scomodità è vero, nel senso che sono proprio strette sulle orecchie e non chiudono proprio tutto il padiglione auricolare, ma stanno col bordo sulla pinna e cadono un po' sul mastoide (l'osso dietro all'orecchio). Per me che porto gli occhiali a volte è un fastidio perché premono un po' sulle bacchette, e dopo un po' il fastidio si sente. Ma se avete intenzione di tenerle su per un'ora o meno, non danno particolari problemi. Ho notato anche che, a differenza di altre recensioni, non isolano proprio benissimo. Durante alcuni pezzi "soft" sentivo distintamente il mio gatto miagolare a qualche metro da me e penso che un po' di suono esca pure. Ad ogni modo, per 35€ circa sono un buon paio di cuffie per chi non va proprio a cercare il pelo nell'uovo ma vuole un'esperienza di ascolto comunquemolto buona. Se volete di più in termini di prestazioni e non avete intenzione di portarvele dietro sui mezzi pubblici, informatevi su altri tipi di cuffie, magari un un'impedenza un po' più alta (ma non troppo) come le AufioTecnica o altri modelli di Sennh un po' più "cicci".

Auriculares que reproducen con gran fidelidad el audio y que aislan del ruido ambiental. Auriculares comodos gracias a las esponjas que lleva tanto en los auriculares como en la zona de apoyo de la cabeza en la horquilla. Pese a su robusted se adaptan muy bien. Tienen un cable largo y con conectores de calidad (incluye adaptador de 3.5-6.5mm). Trae bolsa para transporte La unica pega que le puedo poner es la estetica de los cascos (no son feos, pero si se buscan auriculares de diseño en los auriculares deberias mirar otras marcas u otro modelo dentro de esta marca). Como musico y editor de musica considero que pese a su bajo coste estos auriculares tienen una alta calidad y va disigido a usuarios que busquen una experiencia musical media-alta.
