What our customer's say!

"Use them for what they are designed for: DJ", There are DJ headphones, I got them to listen to my music with quality. Don't buy these if you are looking for a quality headphone.

"Spend a little more and get better", First off, don't get me wrong. These headphones are great. They are Sennheiser, they have high worksmanship, they're comfortable, and they block out some noise. The DJ feature is nice, but most people who wear these probably don't use the feature often. So why, in my opinion, are these headphones so bad?

The sound. It was weak, paltry, and produced only the most fundamental bass. The mid's were fine, and the high's were alright, but, overall, I've come to decide, if you want to get these, you want to get a little better. I felt like the sound stage was great, but could've been a little clearer. Maybe you think I'm one to recommend "Beats by Dr. Dre". No, most certainly not. I presently own a pair of Sennheiser HD 595's. Those are great headphones, are open, but much better than these. Yes, they cost a little more, but you do, honestly, get what you pay for. The bass is certainly something that someone will listen for. You can't totally leave out the bass. An accurate reproduction is produced by the HD 595's, or, better yet, the HD 600 or HD 650's. A lot more $$$ but, with a proper amp, the bass is overwhelming like in "Beats" but it also isn't lacking in these.

For the, if these are in your price range, you will be satisfied by the great build of these headphones (sturdy plastic), the comfort of the padding, and the the overall sound. But if you really want to hear your music in a better light, I highly recommend you save up a little more and get some better headphones.

"Extremely Durable Headphones, Good sound, but not for everyone.", I'd first like to say that, I'm not an audiophile. Although I would consider myself a discerning customer who can sense distinct difference in sound, I do not feel I have the so-called "golden ears".

I have had these headphones for about 4 months now, and I would like to say that Sennheiser is still keeping up their reputation for producing good headphones, but these particular cans, while good and very interesting, failed to completely wow me.

Sound: I have to concur with everyone who has been saying that the sound stage on these headphones is great, especially for closed cans. The sound feels extremely open and gives a great sense of the sound emanating from a more pleasant, distant source. The sound detail must also be praised as these phones definitely can give your music a sense of enhanced detail the way one may consider looking at higher resolution images or videos. If you've ever used new audio equipment to listen to familiar songs only for you to say, "Hey I never heard that subtle background piece" or "I can hear so much more subtlety in that instrument's piece", you'll know what I mean. As for the overall sound, I'd say that the headphones are definitely weighted towards the higher end of the spectrum, and are by no means bass heavy. The bass comes in clear and detailed if you listen for it specifically, but they are more underrepresented in my opinion. I'm no DJ, but I would assume that a noisy club scene would not require bass heavy headphones anyway, if that is your intended use. The subjective sound quality, I would say comes off as being more bright and less warm. This is ok depending on the kind of music that you like to listen to. For vocals that have a naturally high and pure sound, the headphones suits them perfectly. Again, for vocals that feature more deep and warm tones, I would perhaps reconsider. Regardless, I would still reiterate that this is merely the headphone's bias.

Durability: These things are built to last, and you can tell. They're light but the plastic feels extremely durable. The headband will certainly not snap, as I have read some reviews of the Sennheiser HD280s that state the HD280's have such a tendency. The cord feels nice and strong, again heavy duty. Not much really to say here. The headphones will take some real punishment, I don't think anyone will deny that.

Comfort: This is where the whole deal started to go just a bit sour for me. Remember a few sentences ago when I stated that the headphones were durable. That is certainly true, and it seems to me that comfort has taken a bit of a hit at least in my opinion. The headphones, while still quite large, always seem to feel like they're pressing fairly hard on my ears and the side of my head. When they were new, before I had broken them in, I used to get minor headaches from wearing them just due to the sense of pressure that the phones physically exerted on my head. The problem is that the top head band is just a bit too durable and has no give to it to accommodate a person's individual head shape. They will eventually break in and give over time, but if you don't wear them for any length of time, you'll have to endure some pressure on your ears for about half an hour or so. Again, your mileage may vary. Perhaps I just have a grotesquely misshapen head that was not meant to see the light of day.

Extras: The left ear cup can be swiveled up and back in case the listener needs to hear ambient noise, a feature presumably to please the DJs to which the headphones are geared towards. It's pretty neat even if you aren't a DJ, and it definitely helps in one of those situations where your attention may be required elsewhere. Again, it's not extremely comfortable to keep the left ear cup raised for any long period of time, but it's completely passable. The headphones also feature a 8th inch to quarter inch adapter which screws on. I haven't had the opportunity to use the adapter, but both the 8th and quarter inch plugs are gold plated, if that actually makes any difference to you. The cord winds up into a nice little telephone cord style form factor which gives a good amount of added length without the need for clutter. Lastly, there's a pleather bag that you can stuff the headphones in, but they're really durable enough to not need them.

Conclusion: I have to say I still consider them above average and in keeping with Sennheiser's reputation. To me they just weren't the perfect fit. They are a bit too bulky for me to take out onto the street, and they are slightly uncomfortable until you manage to break them in (I stretched them around a basketball, go ahead try it, but be careful). The bass is not really as punchy as I'd like it, but I'm not as much of a stickler for that as other people. I'm no bass nut, but even so, I was a bit underwhelmed. The sound quality really gives a nice open bright and airy feel, but I personally was hoping to find a deeper and warmer sound than the one I was given. No question though, the HD 215s are great for some kinds music, but just not all of them.

In the end, I really kind of wish I had gone for the Sennheiser HD-280 Professional Headphones. I got these headphones for about 60$, and if I had compromised on price and a slightly less durable build quality (which the hd 215s have more than enough of), then I think I would be a bit more satisfied. The HD-280s are really a old standby for budget audiophiles looking for anything from good home listening headphones to studio headphones, maybe DJs even use them too, I don't know. I don't have a pair of hd 280s but I have listened to them briefly and I can say that the sound quality feels much richer than the airier feel of the 215s. So if you're a real klutz who loves wearing full sized headphones around but keeps dropping them on the pavement or stepping on them when you've left them on the floor, get the 215s. If you want to spend 20-30$ extra on a pair of headphones that are well known for their great sound quality (given the price), and are not finicky about durability, then I'd go for the Hd280s.

"Very Nice!!", I purchased recently a couple of headphones but I didn't like them. The I saw this one and it looks so comfortable. So when they arrived I tried them for a couple of hours and they didn't hurt my ears at all. I love them. They are perfect for a DJ too!

The only thing that I find is that there is no bass, but that is good for a working DJ because the music can be heard better.


All in all, it is a great product. Very cool!

"Great Deal", Great Product , The sound is great , you dont hear ambiant sounds and it comes with a leather bag and a adaptator. You can flip one hear so you can hear music on your speaker while listening to the next song , it's really useful for mixing. The only thing is that the bass are a bit weak but well for 100 buck you can hardly get something better! Shipping was really fast ... By the way those are really big so don't except to wear them on the street unless you want everyone to laugh at you. The wire is really long i think i could put my mp3 player in my shoes and still use the headphones

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Not-a-pro, casual music listener", I got these for christmas and was blown away by the sound. I've come to learn that these, by design, do sound flat and sometimes I yearn for some more depth. However, I look forward to settling into a task which permits me to don these bad boys.

I mostly use them at my desk at work, listening to a very wide variety of mp3s. They sound great with just about everything. They're very comfortable, even though I were eyeglasses. I listen for 2-4 hours at a time.

they seem very well made, even if they were made in the far east (what isn't?).

A word to the fashionistas: this IS the definitive Princess Lea ear bun! These things are MASSIVE, both the cups and the headband. I do have a small head, but still...

definately recommended!

"Hollow Sound, not enough bass", I ordered the HD215 for DJing on a vinyl mixing console but was disappointed with the lack of bass response and overall bulkiness, though I was willing to let the latter pass for a good pair of DJ headphones. Am a beginner trying to master the fundamentals of beatmatching and need my beat ala bass...Am going for something else.

"sennheiser HD215 headphones", I got the Sennheiser HD215's as a christmas present. I had picked them out so I knew what I was getting. In person they were just as good looking as the photos on Sennheiser's site. Looks don't matter too much with headphones though.

I wanted them as a better option to the mediocre Koss headphones I was using with my recording studio (Boss BR600). Well, they sound fantastic, dynamics of the recordings that were barely audible through the Koss' lept right out with the HD215's. Bottom end is deep and full but is not booming which I find annoying with long term head phone use. The mid's are bright and guitars and vocals, which usually compete with one another in the mid's are very separate and distinct. As far as the highs go there seems to be an infinite amount of space and any high tones do not sound compressed or tinny at all.

I have heard no distortion at any levels so far but I have not pushed them very hard yet.

I really like the circumaural ear coupling as I find that style the most comfortable. These headphones seem to be built really well and I like that cable is removable from the earpiece. I bought a nice 30 foot cable
and use that in place of the stock cable and I can now easily get far away from where my recorder is set up when I need to.

I used these with my Ipod and I am hearing all sorts of details in the soundfield that were not present with any of the other headphones or earbuds I have used with my Ipod. 192kbps MP3's never sounded better. ;)

All of this after about 30 hours of use. From what I have read on headphone forums it generally takes around 50 hours of use for headphones to settle in. 20 hours to hit that sweet spot and I already love them.

Not really recommend if you want to walk around in public as the closed design does keep the majority of external sound out, plus you would look like a doofus.

"Makes a significant difference", These headphones are quite good. I usually don't write reviews (especially if what I will say is essentially the same as what other reviewers have said), but I really felt the need to express my opinion this time because I am so impressed with the performance of this product.

First off, I use these headphones both for listening to music and private movie sessions (so as not to disturb the family). My Creative Zen MicroPhoto is used for music, while my laptop is generally used for movies.

The overall sound reproduction is very neutral, which was exactly what I was looking for when I was doing my research for a new set of headphones. Though some may consider these 'phones to lack in bass, I find that they are perfect for my listening needs. In addition, these 'phones have adequate comfort; the circumaural design certainly helps in this department.

In fact, these headphones are so good that they make some of my cheap audio equipment stand out like sore thumbs. For example, when listening to movies with these 'phones on my laptop, there is an audible hiss present because my laptop doesn't have a quality soundcard. However, when I listen to music on my MicroPhoto, there is no hiss at all: everything sounds crisp and clear.

I really need a good soundcard now...

"Absolutely Wonderful, Very Comfortable", Brilliant audio range and wonderful frequency response through the whole spectrum. Requires a little bit more power to drive them if you're used to some cheaper headphones. It's easy to understand why Sennheiser labels these as being DJ headphones; The cord is only about three feet long, but it is coiled and extends to more than six feet, perfect for use on a mixing deck. The right ear piece can be rotated away to allow for single ear use in mixing, and the set still feels comfortable when used this way.

The main reason I picked these out is for comfort over extended periods of wearing them. First thing I did when I got them was spent four hours uninterrupted listening to my favorite music while working on my computer. After four hours, they still felt as comfortable as when I first put them on. The cans are more than spacious enough to fit the whole ear without pressing against the lobe or cartilage. The temples of my glasses fit comfortably inside the space without any pinching. Isolation isn't perfect, but it shut out most of the fan noise from my PC, enough that I could hear the background hiss produced by my cheap soundcard. The padding is soft and permeable, allowing my ears to breath enough that they didn't sweat.

All in all, probably the best pair of headphones I've owned.
