A friend of mine recently hooked me up with a new set of cans; more specifically, Sennheiser eh150s’. I was wanting a good set of circumaural headphones to use when out and about as the stock earphones simply can’t isolate ambient noise. I already have a pair of Sennheiser PMX60s’, and I think they are a great sounding set of low cost earphones, so I expected none less from the 150s.
Initially, the headphones had far too much bass, making intense electro sound like two fat guys wrestle in mud (yuck). One they “burnt in” they began sounding much better and after about 2 hours total listening time, I was able to detect new features of my music that I hadn’t been able to hear with my old earphones.
The build quality is pretty good, if a little boring, the cable length however is ridiculous; 10 Feet! On a pair of consumer headphones? Come on. I have to stuff my Touch into one pocket and the excess cord into the other, leaving me with precious little space for toting other gadgets. Ti-84 anyone
All in all, I’m really happy with these, they are built well and are very comfortable on the ears. The cable length is annoying but I don’t really mind sacrificing some pocket space for a pair of great sounding phones.
