Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been looking to break into higher-end headphones, but find spending more than $500 daunting considering I've never owned headphones that were more than $100 before. I settled on these as a gateway set and MAN could I not be happier with them. I'll certainly spend more on my next set, but my ears are very happy with these cans for music AND gaming.

I finally hear all the details without sound blurring together! Can hear how many players are around you, clearly hear their footsteps, and directionally consistent. Paired with a nice amp. Highly recommended.

I use these for gaming on PC and video editing. Great sound quality all around. Now keep in mind if you want to use them at their full potential, you will need an Audio headphone amplifier. I bought the Fosi Audio and couldn't be happier.

Probably the best value if you’re looking for truly good sound. Build quality seems cheap, but as a Sennheiser, it’s bound to last a long time. Rich low-end with accurate mids. Used for mixing audio for videos, was impressed.

Overall great. Great soundstage for gaming. Not meant for bass (it was still noticeably there though) has very analytical true to form tuning and listening especially for this price range in higher end headphone audio. If you’re buying this for competitive gaming you can’t go wrong here

Nice headphones. Sound good and are light. Great for vr.

These are the ones, if you want reference headphones and have a budget of about $200 get these headphones. You will truly enjoy music, I find myself listening to music for hours on end, compared to about a year ago when I had to remove my old headphones because my ears wold get hot due to the closed cups. I love the response on these Sennheisers. They are perfect and excited my expectations when it comes to sound quality.

Sound quality is good and the they are comfortable.

Some of the best sound quality that I've listened to however, it is still one of the headsets that I would not recommend unless you are really into music and want a good sound quality, but other than that you can get a very good value out of any headset that you choose, but this one is definitely very good

Amazing headphones. Best I’ve ever owned. Super comfortable and with a great sound stage. Highly recommended.

Previously had another pair of this. Gave them to a relative because they loved the sound, so I had to get myself another pair. Sennheiser headphones are great!

Excellent headphones, very flat and super comfortable. These replaced my HD518s and I think they sound better.

Great for fps gaming and analytical listening. My friend tried it once and get himself one when the sale goes back. Much better than those premium “gaming headset” cost same or more at gaming. Also ok to run without an amp if you don’t want to.

I have the pleasure of utilizing these headphones for casual purposes. They are pleasant to my ears, and the sound quality is outstanding.

These headphones are perfect for gaming and listening to music! The directional effects are incredible for hearing footsteps all around you playing FPS games. The bass hits hard and the overall range is amazing for the relatively low price. Sennheiser doesn't miss!

Great quality of sound for both ps5 and pc. Open Ear audio is pretty great because noise isn’t constricted! Bought these when my steelseries arctic’s pros broke and i’m loving these! Had to buy a new mic but I highly recommend you pair it with these headphones.

Great bang for the buck. Great build quality. Only drawback is the proprietary cable.

Great set of headphones, I wanted a simple headset for gaming to connect to my PS5 controller. I liked that I didn't need to charge the headset like most headphones now a days. The padding was very comfortable. It even comes with a jack adapter for other headphones plugs.

I’ve always been a fan of Sennheisers and their headphones. The balanced profile that this headphone has allows it to be more versatile in terms of customizing an EQ to your liking. I do highly recommend getting a sound card to plug this into since it’s not that powerful but it’s great for the price!

Incredible for foot step audio in FPS games. Vastly superior to gaming headsets. EQ using APO/PEACE equilizer and enjoy. Tested Audio Technica, Beyer DT 990 and DT 900 Pro. These come recommended for a reason. Pair with Topping D3X Pro+ or SMSL C200 DAC/AMP.
