Sennheiser HD 205-II Studio Grade DJ Headphones (Black/Grey)

Headphones That can do Professional work
The HD-205 Sennheiser headphone is a marvel. These are the Headphones I have been searching for, for a Long time. Not only was the price so rediculously low, but the headphones (which I have known about, but for the open air sound and feel, in the 70’s.) I wanted to get a pair of Headphones that could be used for many things Other than just to listen to my music. These headphones can serve as a Monitor for the Reaper DAW, and I wanted a flat response for that, and found it with these heaphones. The sound is Very true to what was recorded. I also Do listen to music. My music. The Program that does all my recording is the Reaper DAW. I Like this program because it is a Professional Program for home PC based music recording( I have an An Xclio Windtunnel Tower ,ASUS X58 Sabertooth Motherboard, Intel I7 3.07GHz Bloomfield Processor, 12 GB DDR3 Veangance 1600MHz RAM, GTX 570 NVIDEA Video card, Corsair watercooling, 4.5TB’s of Storage, 2 Blu-Ray Burners,TV Tuner card, Wireless networking card, 7.1 sound and the ability to sample at 320 Mb/ sec. and up), using Professional Computers, and using these headphones are so true for use as monitors. I am new to recording mself, but have been in the Industry recording and Playing for over 45 years. These headphones will give you the performance, sound and versatility, you have sought in the studio, or the dance floor:(Did I forget to mention the headphones ‘break'(flip-up from the Right ear so you can keep control of Live sounds if you wish). I likes the breaking feature. I am not a DJ, as my use is for Recording but it Sure is a nice thing to be able to ‘break’ the Right side, and listen to a live sound with the recording track/s in the other ear. It is an easy trick to throw all sound in one ‘can’ and be playing along with the track. The sound is So natural and the headphones are So light, that recording is a joy. The price I got these at was stonishing, I was so surprised. Keep an eye out for sales or refurbs for this model of headphone, as the money is Well spent for the quality you get and the versatility. Great headphones and a Great Deal: Amazon,… this was a gem of a buy. You will like the amazing things you can do with these headphones, not to mention the great sounds they can reproduce.

Flawless to my ears
I really love these headphones. I have great street cred:>) so never mind with the audiophile posing…seriously, I prefer 2-way speaker systems with subwoofer if the speakers require it, and strive for natural sound to play music and home theater. I have been using Dolby home systems since early 1990s, with Laserdisc (12″ optical disks) player, Pro Logic systems from Denon and Yamaha, and I might have had an Onkyo…but my Dolby Digital 5.1 system is a Panasonic, because I saw that it was just as good as the boutique models, and I was able to simplify the increasing difficulty of managing so many remotes. My speakers are Infinity, Polk, and I have a system from RCA, which are usually crap, but they have these amazing ribbon tweeters that allow me to have timbre matching the entire system, including dipole surround speakers (and yes, the center channel also has the same tweeter).In my cars, I usually go with a 6″ 2-way system with separate tweeters, but that is standard now. That was my idea:>) OK, maybe others knew about it too. The first “high end” car system I put together was bi-amped. My first new car system was build with 2-way Infinity’s with 2 8″ subwoofers, which allowed me to keep the gain low and clean. That is what I like. Natural sound, and loud enough so that at my highest comfortable level, all of the components are operating at or below their sweet spot you could say. Some components, like speakers, can occasionally have poor sound when there isn’t enough gain.That is how I like it; clean, natural.These Senheisers are not my first of the brand, but I never heard this model before. They are fantastic. These are the best headphones I’ve ever listened to, but the bad news is that in spite of all my experience and tastes, I never went nuts for headphones because I like hearing the sound in an environment. I assume everyone can hear the difference between headphones and speakers, like when you turn your head…some seem not to mind. I usually just don’t like headphones and they are almost always a compromise.I bought these because I need to do some vocal tracking, and I will be running the gear so I want to hear only the mix. I need physical isolation from my own voice, as much as possible. I expected them to sound clean. The bass response is way better than any I have tried before. Even though I didn’t own a lot of high-end headphones, I did work in an electronics retailer that meant I could try any I wanted (not to mention a great discount). So I heard a lot of good ones, but never bought any good ones. I just didn’t want to spend so much, and the cheaper models just didn’t satisfy me.I hope that helps somewhat more than just saying”I am an audiophile.” I think that is too easy to be taken wrong. The full frequency response is flawless to my ears. I am hard to please, but not ridiculously so. My favorite floor-standing speakers are Polk, with 2 woofers per site, but identical drivers. I don’t like the sound when there is more than one crossover. Having these headphones with great highs and lows (and all in between, since there are no crossovers) is just amazing. This is unprecedented for me, but I am actually buying a set for each member of my family (that performs music, a little more than half of them). It totally makes sense to have the same set, when you can get this great quality, and when you each spend time alone mixing your own tracks, I expect it will make it easier to collaborate.

Been using it for nearly a month now and enjoying it.The sound, as expected from a Sennheiser, is really really good. Please don’t get into technicalities. If you are a music lover and on a budget then go for these. Use it for atleast 15-20 days before forming an opinion. If you have been using highbass/extra bass headphones prior to using these, as I have done, you will understand the difference. The clarity in this Sennheiser is far higher and you will hear notes you never thought existed in the music, believe me.There are a few cons too though. One, the cord is very very long and you have to keep a big portion of it rolled up while using the phone to prevent it from getting entangled. Anyway, thats a minor headache. Some people, I guess people with big heads, may find the headphone a bit too tight for comfort. For me the fit was perfect and that enhanced the listening pleasure. Sennheiser HD206 which I brought for my daughter at the same time is far more comfortable, but soundwise this is way ahead.

音の輪郭、低温の伸び、音の広がりと空気感。この価格帯のコスパは最強だと思います。音がぼけているのはコネクタが安価なせいなので、一ランク上のコネクタに変える前提での購入がおすすめです。まあ、元々ケーブルが無駄に長いしコネクタの根元は衝撃に弱い作りなので変えた方がよいですけどね。
