Customer Reviews

a step up
Always rate Sennheiser kit and my PX100s are the best most robust portable headphones I have owned.

These HD205s are a step up from those with a nice sound stage, good bass and a clear sound. Better separation than the PX100s better overall sound.

But, they are not as comfortable and on my largish male head they are a bit tight. They seem to fit my daughters head better and she immediately commented on the good sound quality. Amazon are £[...] cheaper than the high street too.

Great value and performance!
I just got a set of these headphones to replace my last pair and so far I'm more than happy with the results. Unlike my last pair, these Sennheisers really keep the sound in so no more complaints of music leakage from my office mates! I was able to turn up way loud without anyone hearing anything.

It's worth remembering that these are not audiophile headphones, which is to say that they don't have the best dynamic range or the rich treble and bass of some headphones. What they do have is a great reference sound with excellent clarity and separation, and a bit of mid-range bias, which will be fine once your ears get used to them.

Comfort is subjective. Personally I like the way they clamp strongly onto my ears but it does make them feel less lightweight than they really are. Build quality is great, they seem very robust, with a good long cable, plus they come with a storage bag. Overall I can't imagine getting better sound quality or value for the money.

Tight clamp - but awesome sound quality
I write this review with regret. These are a great pair of headphones, build quality is top notch, the swivling right headphone is useful, the design is nice as well.

The main problem is the tight clamp, I've had these headphones for a while now, maybe a year. I have tried to stretch it (stacks books in between to stretch it) and it does work for a day - but after that it goes back to its original "tight" state. Maximum time I can wear these is an hour.

If you have a large head (I don't think I do!) then stay away, if your head is an "adequate" size (whatever that is) then these are perfect. Sound quality and bass is really nice and smooth, with a "warm" touch with the pleasing deep bass and clear mid's and high's.
