Customer Ratings & Reviews

I waited a long time before committing to a pair of headphones but I am glad I did. I love my Sennheiser Professional Monitoring Over-the-Ear Headphones. They are comfortable, with great sound quality, and travel easily. My one complaint is that the cord is a little bulky and long. Overall, I love the headphones. I would also like to note, I use these for recreational use and listening to online classes.

I have a small head but they fit just fine, I have noticed others said they were too tight, maybe if you have a big head. I feel like I could hear many sounds missed by my old pair of headphones. Especially highs and mids, although the bass was powerfull and almost startling when those parts were sudden. For the price they out perform the bose and Dr Dre's, which I keep hearing that their bass is too overwhelming.

I Love these headphones! They are durable, flexible and no one could the music but you. The sound is clear,crisp, and with reasonable bass. My only thing is "the cord", it's big. The cord is detachable from the ear cup , so I'm hoping to find a reasonable size cord (for on the go). I'm taking a look at the Sennheiser website.

I've been looking all over researching the best Over-the-Ear headphones out right now for the last month. I've been store to store, looking at specs online, and even going to stores replacing the usually poor headphone demos they have with my own ipod. After all my research and before putting any cash down, it was a TOUGH call between these and the Bose AE2 headphones. They are almost exactly the same far as sound quality, but I did notice a slight difference after sampling my ipod with both. *Compared to The Bose AE2 Headphones - The Bose AE2's are great for movies and music that's not as bass heavy like hip-hop, rock, heavy metal, electronic, and especially dubstep (which are genres I mainly listen to). You will get theater like sound in those (which is what Bose is mainly known for). The Bose AE2's are a bit more lighter in weight and slightly more comfortable to the point you dont even feel like you have them on, so that on top of the theater like sound, its like you are right at the movies or at a concert. But the final nail in the coffin was how much MORE of the music I did hear through these Sennheiser HD380's. I even watched an action movie with them when I got home and I had to turn it down almost halfway because the bass in them were that powerful. I heard parts of songs before I didnt even know existed...with the Bose...not so much. This is where the HD380's "wow" in clarity. *Compared to Beats by Dre Headphones - The clarity is phenomenal in the HD380's and for 100 bucks less, you have a pair of headphones that are FAR SUPERIOR in sound quality, bass, and durability in comparison to overpriced headphones like Beats. The Beats headphones break REALLY FAST , overpriced and nowhere near as good in comparison to what else is out there. Only things I'd applaud the Beats headphones for are: style, and that the bass in them are in fact really good whenever you are listening to R&B, Jazz and SOME pop music (like Rihanna, Black Eyed Peas, and Katy Perry). But sadly, after listening to Dr.Dre produced tracks and even some Eminem tracks, the sound and bass output was surprisingly bad, even more so when I played rock music and turned it up all the way. The sound leakage in them are HORRIBLE too, even from halfway across the store I was getting looks from people when I had them on full blast. With the HD380's, people barely even knew I was there. Beats headphones are an overpriced "toy" that only kids and people that don't know any better should fall for. I like Dre dont get me wrong, and there are worse headphones out there ......but for that price, they are not worth it. If anyone else tells you otherwise, they are in SERIOUS denial because they either already own a pair, or looking to own them for bragging rights. *Compared to SkullCandy Headphones - Before, I was a long time SkullCandy user and considered the Hesh, Aviators, and Skullcrushers as their best sets. But after hearing the Sennheiser HD380's, I'll NEVER go back to SkullCandy headphones ever again. They might as well be cheap Coby headphones you can get for 10 bucks or less at Walgreens somewhere in comparison to these. Overall, if you are a heavy music buff willing to drop $100 or more on headphones, get these. Heavy music listeners can't be without them and have to experience the sound quality in these. The Sennheiser HD280's are almost exactly similar to these, but the clarity in the HD380's I personally thought were a bit better, but not by much. I never heard much of Sennheiser before until about a month ago, and this is my first purchase from them. Atfer my experience with these headphones, it definitely wont be the last. Use these if you are stable or at a computer. They do come with their own case, but I can definitely see these breaking if you keep these in a bookbag or constantly folding/ unfolding them. They haven't broke on me....yet, but headphones like these aren't made for frequent movement or public transit use anyway. Due to these headphones having one cord coming from the left side, and the weight of the cord, I can imagine the weight stretching the wires on left side of the headphones. So more than likely when that happens, you wont just get one side that emits sound...the whole thing is more than likely short out on you. So get full geek squad protection with this or any headphones you spend more than $50 bucks on.

I bought these headphones about 2 months ago and I absolutely love them. I've had Bose before and these sound better in my opinion. They sound good out of the box but I have definitely noticed a difference in sound quality as I wear them more. The inside of the earpiece is shaped to fit your ears, which I think enhances the audio. The comfort factor is good. They don't squeeze hard on your head, and I sometimes forget that I'm wearing them when on my computer. The detachable cord is nice for transport and I like the the length of the cord. I can access anything in my room and bathroom while leaving the headphones plugged into my computer. I highly recommend this product to anyone from audio enthusiasts to the average person.

I purchased the Sennheiser - "Professional Monitoring Over-the-Ear Headphones about two months ago. These headphones made specifically for professional vocal recording. They have and extended frequency response with an increased sound pressure level which provides for accurate, high quallity, sound reproduction. They are very comfortable and compact for convenient storage. Great overall value!

I was torn between the HD 280's and the 380's. They had the 280's out on display and they sounded very clean and had crisp highs even compared to the Monster Beats. I actually liked them over the beats. But I was curious to how the 380's could sound any better. After a few times of stopping into the Musical Instruments Store at Best Buy Lancaster and being ready to make a purchase on some recording studio gear, my curiousity got the best of the guys back in M.I and they opened a set of the HD 380 pros. Now Mike, the supervisor who was very knowledgeable about the products told me that the 380's are definitely the better headphones but i wanted to hear for myself . After trying out the 380's on a yamaha portable grand piano I was sold. The 380's had such a tight yet smooth and clean bass and the highs were crisp and clear. It had a beautiful range and an awesome balance. Although these headphones are not advertised as "Noise Cancelling" I felt like I was on stage practicing for a concert and i was the only one there. Definitely worth the investment, the carrying case is a nice touch too.

I have purchased this headphone hoping to be able to listen to my collection of classical music. The Sennheiser really met my expectations. It handles most demanding pieces, such as piano and symphony performances, returning crispy, clear and well-balanced sound. With Sennheiser headphones I have been able to re-discover my music collection!

These headphones may look unnecessary at a 200$ price, but they are worth every penny. I use these maybe 4-5 hours daily since February last year and they have not let me down a single time. Please note that these are Studio headphones, so they will work with your iPod but maybe not as much as you would like (If you use a pocket amplifier they will sound much better then you expected however).

after buying several types and brands of headphones i finally settled on these because the bass is great and it does not sound all muddy like the monster brand headphones. much louder than the Bose junk.

I returned my HD 360's in exchange for these and could not be happier .... Exactly what I wanted for listening to music plus very comfortable padded phones ,,, love them.

Mega Comfortable, Beautiful Sound. Decent Price. GREAT for sub frequencies (i.e. Dubstep). Worth the buy if you are moderately priced headphones for average use.

I've heard them all, and these rock, worth every penny.

I bought these and wore them about twenty minutes before I started getting a head ache. This happened every day I wore them for a week, needless to say they were way too tight. If you have a small head, GREAT headphones. If you have a larger noggin like myself, these are NOT for you.
