There are better
Date of Review: Jan 26, 2006
If bass is your priority, or if you need sealed headphones or just a voice headphone, these will do. I broke these in for two days at high volume, only to find that the bass got even more sloppy. It virtually masks all other frequencies, and is not very punchy; although it is very omnipresent. Listening fatigue set in early for me. I returned them after listening to them daily for two weeks as my "work" headphones. I also used them to go for a couple of evening walks.
Look at other Sennheisers in this price range, as well as Koss and Sony; if a closed cup is essential. Look at these and Grado SR60's if a closed cup is not essential.
For reference, I found the Sennheiser PX100's and HD497's that I own to be much more accurate and enjoyable to listen to; although they cost 10 and 20 dollars more; respectively. The extra cost is well worth it; makes the EH150's sound like they should have cost about $20. Maybe the EH205 and 350's are much better; I would hope so.
