at first i thought these headphones were great. but, only after 2 months of use these headphones no longer function properly. they only function properly if i push down on the plastic casing surrounding the audio connector.

i know somebody may say, "what do you expect at this price?"

still, i am so shocked by the poor quality of these headphones i will probably never buy any sennheiser headphones again. these headphones are so poor, it reflects badly upon sennheiser and amazon.

i am recommending that nobody should ever buy these headphones. and i am recommending that amazon should no longer sell these headphones.

When Amazon.com sent me these headphones, I discovered that they are not headphones but actually a machine for making white noise. They do play some sound, but they also take whatever hiss there was on the audio track, and they amplify it drastically. Not only that, but the hiss amplification is strangely correlated with the pitch of the sound. Imagine a movie character talking – with natural variations in voice pitch, the hiss would increase or decrease, thus creating a whole new hiss track to the movie. Do not purchase these flawed headphones/hissing device.

Do you know how the way that many of life’s experiences work–event’s that you expect to be awesome memories, end up filled with nonsense, and the ones that you anticipate displeasure, become fond moments to reminisce about?

I had a similar experience with the Sennheiser HD-202s…I expected awesome balance for use while recording my music, but instead got imbalance in the midbass to upper frequencies seeming unnecessarily dampened…

Sensitivity of which I expected to be grand…ended up needing serious attention by my audio receiver…oh yeah, and by the time that it was up to a good volume…the diaphragms felt it necessary to become unstable.

Come to think about it…

I’ve given it fourstars simply because of the name…’though it was my first mistake in the first place…

Look around…and save more money…

The person I sent these headphones to never received them. The tracker says they were delivered, but they must have been delivered to the wrong person. The address is correct. I don’t know what happened, but I’m not happy that I can’t get ahold of anyone at Amazon to help me with this problem.

I bought from a used seller, and although they look nice one of the speakers is already broken but apparently I can’t get a refund since they are used? Not so happy with these, I’d suggest buying a new pair of sony’s instead.
