Pros: price point, excellent sound quality
Cons: none, unless you want complete noise canceling
Summary: I'll preface this review by stating that I am not a huge electronics geek or audiophile. In fact, the only real reason that I own a pair of headphones this nice is because of my children. My daughter started on a listening program designed for children ... read more

Pros: Excellent sound and comfort and price.
Cons: Longer cord, please.
Summary: I bought these as an interim set after giving up on my Shure E2 in-ear set. (You can read my review of the Shures at h

Pros: Exceptional sound and value
Cons: Low-end bass could be a bit fuller (but it's still pretty good).
Summary: Okay, so it turns out not everyone can easily use the ear-canal headphones from Sure, Etymotic, Sony, etc. If you don't (or apparently can't, in my case) get those headphones properly positioned (i.e., deeply inserted) into you ear canal, you're hosed ... read more

Pros: Inexpensive; smooth imaging with an open and well-detailed sound in Q-ship packaging.
Cons: Barren low-end performance, poor isolation, iffy comfort, fragile connections and component materials.
Summary: The MX-500 earbuds are so much like the quintessential low-end Sennheiser product: good spatially with a well-detailed open-air sound, but painfully soft on outside noise isolation and weak in the knees in the mid-bass ranges and below. Sonically, I've ... read more

Pros: Incredibly light, crystal clear sound, easy on the ears and ergonomic.
Cons: Open construction leaves less to the imagination of people around you.
Summary: Having not grown up an audiophile or even anything close to that I can say this is truly my first experience into the world of hifi headphones and home audio and its luxuries of the ear. I have owned many audio devices and headphone sets over the ... read more

Pros: good fit, good treble, excellent value, volume control on cord
Cons: distortion, unimpressive bass, short cord
Summary: After buying a new 4g ipod, I felt the need to buy some earbuds that would do my player justice. Having just spent 300 dollars on an mp3 player I wasnt really in a position to spend a whole lot of money on headphones either. So, after reading many ... read more

Pros: -- Clarity and Bass response
-- Price
-- Sennheiser reputation
Cons: Ear bud diameter is larger than some.
Summary: I got tired of listening to the cheap, uncomfortable ear buds I was using with my MP3 player and was hoping to find something that would partially satisfy my audiophile side. Having spent thousands on my home audio and theater system, I knew that there ... read more

Pros: Sound reproduction is crisp and clear. Comfortable for hours of use.
Cons: Cheap volume control, bass could be improved, cheap case, earbuds are a bit long.
Summary: I bought these ear buds to use in quiet areas because my pmx60s from sennheiser leaks sound like crazy. I needed these to listen to while studying at school or at the library so they don't bother other people. I'm pleasantly surprised by the sound they ... read more

3. Durable
Cons: 1. Non Closed Headphone ( Read Review )
Summary: I've worked with Sennheiser equipment for a long time in professional audio ( theater mic systems ) and have been very pleased with their equipment. When I decided to buy a nice pair of over ear headphones, the first place I looked was Sennheiser - and ... read more

Pros: Great sound reproduction, great pricing, carry case, volume control.
Cons: Delicate at cord connections, may not have loud enough bass for some.

Pros: Smooth sound, lightweight, detachable cord, look cool
Cons: Less than perfect in high frequencies, not a 'closed' design
Summary: I knew I wanted circumaural phones. So, at first, I tried the cheapies at Best Buy - a pair of Aiwa and Koss phones. In both cases, it felt like I was listening through a cardboard tube. The phones completely lacked high range frequency response - They ... read more

Pros: Compact with great sound quality, inline volume control, good value, comfortable
Cons: Cord gets stiff in the cold, volume control scratches
Summary: Background
I've had my Sony MDR-E827 Earbud Sport headphones for a good long time, and have been fairly happy with them. My complaints are that they don't always fit quite right, start to hurt after wearing for more than an hour or so, ... read more

Pros: extremely comfortable, clear crisp bass, sound quality excellent, 2 year warranty
Cons: cord is too long
Summary: I just received my HD 500s today, and let me tell you that these cans are excellent. I thought my pair were defective, but that wasn't the case. I took them apart and noticed that one of the speakers weren't connected. Problem solved. This phones are ... read more

Pros: Wide Sound Stage, Mighty Thumping Bass, Comfort, Very Smooth Sound
Cons: They can sound "muffled" to some ears, Almost TOO MUCH bass (if that's possible)
Summary: If i wanted the most accurate detailed sound i would buy the Sony 7506, its cheaper and has much brighter, lively sound...but i didn't want that harsh, crisp music, i needed some headphones to relax while studying, or reading, or researching... after ... read more

Pros: Amazingly comfortable after hours of use. Relatively inexpensive. Grey soundscape.
Cons: Grey soundscape. High impedance detrimental on portable devices.
Summary: Sennheiser is the kind of company which deserves all the praise which is lauded upon them. They've been making high-end microphones and headphones for years. In the past, a pair of high-quality headphones from Sennheiser would run you at least $250 or ... read more

Pros: Crystal Clear
Cons: Very audible to others ;-)
Summary: I used to DJ at a radio station years ago, and I always remember that we insisted on Sennheiser for studio monitors. Now I remember why. It's been a few years since I listened to a pair of these babies. I've had a variety of headphones in the past and ... read more

Pros: Good overall quality for earbuds. Dirt cheap. Name brand recognition
Cons: none to speak of
Summary: First, I'd like to recommend the Etymotics earbuds to anyone who can afford the $270+ price tag. I would also recommend the Sony E-888 earbuds with their $80 cost. Both blow away this set of Sennheisers. However, the Senns only cost around $20. They ... read more

Pros: Good mids and highs, non-overpowering bass
Cons: Mid-bass a tad thin, flimsy volume control?
Summary: Two days ago I ordered a pair of these earbuds from Headroom (www.headphone.com), and they arrived this morning. I was listening to them since, comparing them to two of my sub-$30 Sony earbuds (MDR-E828LP and MDR-E848LP). How does the Sennheiser stack up ... read more

Pros: Sound, comfort
Cons: Pricey
Summary: I don't know, maybe the engineer who designed these phones had me personally in mind, that's how great they feel on, even after having them on for 10 hours. And (blush) these are only plugged into my CPU at work (for CDs and MP3s), which is what I ... read more

Pros: Great sound, fair price and really comfortable... who could ask for more?
Cons: Standard cord length.
Summary: Sh*t these are great sounding cans! The best headphones I ever had were Sennheiser's (my wife got them for me for xmas back in 1980, and they were amazing!) Now for xmas 2005 she did it again with Sennheiser HD500. The sound is amazing, the feel is so
