Extra Bass may not be for everyone,
By
This review is from: Sennheiser eH 250 Dynamic HiFi Stereo Digital DJ Headphones (Silver) (Electronics)
I got a great deal on these headphones and use them frequently. They are very comfortable for long use. I often listen to them for four hour periods so I need this.
However, I find the sound quality to be slightly non-linear. Don't get me wrong they are articulate and don't exhibit the usual boxy or honky sound of closed headphones but they do have tooo much bass for my taste. They also can lead to listening fatigue if you have any bass driven music due to the fact that they have a lot of punch. The sound isolation is mediocre at best. It seems that they are better suited for preventing others from hearing your music rather than isolating you from the environment. Pros: Articulate sound easily driven good low volume listening Comfortable to wear Great price Cons: Too much bass not much sound isolation for a closed headphone I easily develop listening fatigue due to the bass. they are not for me Get these if you like bass and are in need of a closed set of cans. Otherwise go with the much more linear and better sound stage of the eh350's at nearly the same price. As for me I'm currently shopping for a more linear sealed headphone Also note these cans do need to break in. At first the bass may seem a bit muddy but after several hours of usage they become quite accurate. Also of note is that I found no midrange deficiencies as suggested from another reviewer. But everyone's ears are different.

A slow burner,
By
This review is from: Sennheiser eH 250 Dynamic HiFi Stereo Digital DJ Headphones (Silver) (Electronics)
The first thing I'll say is that these headphones need a lot of breaking in - more than the 10 hours mentioned in the previous review. I've been using them for over a month now and finally they're sounding sweet. It was the same story with some other Sennheisers I had a few years ago - they really take their time to settle down.
The bass is very overpowering in this model. Before they've loosened up the bass also sounds horribly muddy. I use these for listening to MP3's and playing games on my PC (using an X-Fi XtremeMusic soundcard) and even now they've broken in I still have the bass level set to just 12% - any higher and things get too boomy for me. Due to the close-backed design they cut out a lot of ambient noise (great for DJ-ing) and they also stop noise escaping from the headphones as well - this is great for me as I can have them up super loud without the wife moaning :) On the downside, after extended listening they're a bit hard on your ears. If comfort in a big priority then look elsewhere. Now they've broken in and I've found the best settings in my software I love these headphones. I really can't agree with the previous review regarding the midrange - they sound spot-on to me, and I've used a lot of pretty high-end audio kit in the past. Due to the punchy bass and dynamic sound they're also excellent for movies and games. They're also nicely made, very light, and have a pretty long cord. In conclusion: It took a while to fall in love with these headphones, but after a month of heavy use and experimenting with the audio settings I've finally got there. I would advise caution due to the meaty bass, long breaking-in time and discomfort during long sessions. But if the sound characteristics seem like what you're after, and you're willing to give them a chance, you'll be rewarded with a fantastic and exciting audio experience.

This review is from: Sennheiser eH 250 Dynamic HiFi Stereo Digital DJ Headphones (Silver) (Electronics)
I normally don't write reviews for things, but since the previous reviews gave me a somewhat jaded view towards these headphones before I bought them (yeah, I bought them anyways) I decided my imput would be helpful.
I bought these for the bass emphasis and while other reviewers have said the bass is a bit over-powering, I don't think so at all. It is a bit louder than normal, but the treble is slightly emphasized as well, so the sound ends up being quite balanced. Even if it were too much for someone, that's what equalizers are for. (People who really appreciate music should know how to use them and I'm assuming that's who is buying these headphones in the first place.) Aside from that, I'm writing this upon my first night of listening, and while I expected them to need some sort of breaking in, they are fine as they are and can probably only get better. They are really comfortable on my ears and the super long cord gives me ample space to move around and do other things while I'm listening, as opposed to being confined to sitting with my laptop. (You can actually keep the twist-tie on if you don't want all the extra cord flailing about.) My only complaint is that they are a bit tight on my head, but I'm hoping they'll eventually conform to my shape. The end.
