Sennheiser HD 205

Owned a pair of these for nearly two years now, sound currently as amazing as they did on the day I bought them. Nice long cable and easily adjustable, of not on the clunky side. These guys know how to bring affordability quality to the table.

It took me a few minutes to fiddle around with EQ settings for iTunes & this masterpiece of a headphone came to life. I'm not talking about the humming, low-freqeuncy bass we have come to expect from modern home theatre systems, but rather something that came before the subwoofer: hi-fi sound, which incorporated woofers. These speaker systems focused more on bass than sub-bass.

This is exactly what these headphones have to offer: pure acoustic quality at a great price. Expansive sound that goes beyond just stereo or 5.1CH with delicate highs & rich lows.

Great kit!

I really like these, I use them as a general purpose set of headphones for monitoring mixes, general listening and also on stage too. I find them to be very comfortable and one of the reasons I chose them apart from the excellent pricepoint is they are quite a tight fit on the head, which is perfect for what I use them for as sometimes I move around with them on, for example on stage playing drums. On the down side of this, I do find that this squashes my ears a little after a while of listening, but maybe thats down to my big head!

They're really robust aswell as being comfortable, and come with a pouch to carry them around or store them when not being used. cracking piece of kit at a price that seems very generous.

The Sennheiser HD205, have an RRP of £39.99, are simply astonishing value for money. The style of the headphones are relatively conservative compared to the similarly priced sony XB300s, however do not let this put you off as this means that they can be warn on the street without fear of getting them stolen or just looking a bit silly. The headphones have very good build quality ensuring that they could last a long time (obviously depending on how well you treat them.)The cable is extremely long for those of you who like to watch tv while listening to headphones. However this length comes with a huge drawback as the wire is cylindrical and thin it is extremely easy for it to get tangled. The fake leather cups are very hard but you get used to them after a while, to go with these extremely hard ear cups sennheiser smartly added a rather tight headband, WARNING: if you are looking for the ultimate headphones in comfort these are not for you. However the strap is very adjustable so even the biggest of heads could experience the sound quality. And it is the sound quality that is the real selling point of these headphones. Though the bass does not live up to the aforementioned sonys the treble and middle are simply astonishing every note beaming out in complete clarity. So overall these are not the easiest set to live with but for those who lust after excellent sound quality and clarity at an affordable price then these are definitely for you.

having owned a pair of sennhieser hd 424 for at least thirty years i thought i needed a new pair,looked at more exspencive models but didnt warrent the price,exelent sound per pound value,yes a little tight but dont spend all day wearing them !and the sound gets better over time as they bed in so to speak which is simuler to hifi speakers,so by em ,best thirty odd quid you will spend,!!

The Sennheiser HD 205 are perfect headphones. good ballence in all frequencies.. best in price. only con is its bit painful for long use as its too tight.

Highly Recomended
