 "Pure Sound Quality" | 2009-06-14 |

I was looking to replace my worn-out Sony MDR V-600 for listening to music and editing audio/video on my PC. Not wanting to spend a whole lot and having read reviews of the eH250, I decided on this particular set of Sennheisers. I used an older similar model when I worked as a radio talk show producer and also used more expensive headphones in my younger days as a nightclub DJ.
In the 2 weeks I have been using the eH350s, I have yet to be disappointed. Coupled with a high-end sound card like the HT Omega Claro Halo and settings tuned to my personal taste, the sound quality is astounding!
The mids and highs are crisp, the low end is clean, but not overpowering. In my opinion, the dynamic range is superb. Of course, overall sound depends on the source audio and your equipment. If it's decent, you'll enjoy a nice listening environment. If not, then you'll think these headphones are c**p.
The eH350s are very comfortable, even when worn for an extended amount of time. Given that I have a rather large head, this was pleasantly surprising. Although you should pay attention to correct orientation of the earpieces. I made the mistake of absent-mindedly having the headphones on with the left earpiece on my right ear and vice versa. I wondered why it felt like my ears were being pinched.
I plan to step up to the Sennheiser PXC-450 NoiseGard headphones when I get a new laptop, with an eye on eventually upgrading to the audiophile top-of-the-line HD 650 for home use. Overall, at its current cost the eH350 is the ideal choice for general use. |

| If you have the Sennheiser folding PX-100 headphones, then you basically have the eH350 headphones -- they are very similar sounding. The eH350 is decent sounding, but have a typical lower-end Sennheiser sound signature: strong in the bass response (but loose and not well-defined), weak in the treble response and fair in the midrange response. On the plus side, they are comfortable to wear. |

I was in the need of some quality headphones, while on a budget, so i ended up with these. Connected to an ipod they won't distort even at full volume, the highs are crisp, though the bass doesn't match the levels of the highs. If you equalize to treble reduction, they are quite enjoyable at high volume though.
As far as comfort, they're great for short periods, but for some reason they get quite uncomfortable after a period of time, I have no idea why, cause they feel so good at first.
Anyways, they're a great deal if you have to ask me. That is if you get them for $50-$60 |

These are serious headphones for people who like to hear music the way it was recorded. No coloration. The headphones are pretty comfortable, but they don't actually cover the ear entirely. I don't know why, but years ago the cups were much larger and actually went around the entire ear. No one seems to make those any more for a reasonable price so these are about as close as you will find in a full coverage ear piece.

Like a previous reviewer mentioned, these are pretty much identical to the now discontinued Sennheiser HD-497 Over-Ear Headphones (Silver), a pair of headphones that served me brilliantly for many, many years, so I was very happy to find Sennheiser make a practically identical pair of cans.
The sound from these is excellent for the price level. I guess a good sign is that I rarely find myself tweaking my iTunes EQ levels much, as they offer a great all-round natural sound which switches seamlessly from genre to genre. I've never been keen on headphones offering hideous amounts of bass as a feature, the bass levels here are perfectly respectable without giving me a migraine and I find they're great whether you're listening to dub-heavy Jamaican dancehall or Ralph Vaughan-Williams.
Comfortable too :)

I recently purchased these headphones and I am very pleased, especially with the audio quality. Not too bassy and the highs are just right. In my opinion, typically what you hear through these headphones is what the audio track is meant to sound like. However, there are a few things that you need to be wary of:
1. They are listed as supra-aural headphones, meaning they rest on top of the ears. They actually go almost completely over and around my relatively average/large ears (wow...that's kind of a weird thing to say). When I put them on, they are super comfortable for the first ten minutes, then they start to hurt. If you need a pair of headphones to wear for hours without breaks, then these may not be the pair for you. I got them for editing sound and video, and they suit me fine because I am in control of my progress/work rate.
2. They are "open-aire" (hence the listing title) meaning that they do not have a closed back on the outside of the speakers. This can be a good or bad thing depending on your preference and what you use the headphones for. Some people like the sound of "open-aire" headphones better. The isolation/noise canceling is pretty alright. You will be isolated from your environment, however your environment will not be isolated from you. Since these headphones do not have a closed back, you will not be able to listen to your music at a loud level without sharing it with your neighbor. The sound bleeds through a bit more than typical headphones, hence these do not make great airplane headphones if you plan on being polite.
Cheers,
