Both serious music fans and professional DJs--in fact, anyone who practically lives with a pair of headphones wrapped around his or her ears--will delight in the Sennheiser EH-150 hi-fi stereo phones. Suitable for professional monitoring applications but also appropriate for casual use, the phones' closed, supra-aural design delivers a superbly natural sound while blocking out ambient noise. The spatial sound reproduction lets listeners accurately hear even the subtlest tones in noisy environments--an ideal feature for clubs or studios. The noise-dampening function also makes the EH-150 a great choice for airplane, train, or bus travel, as the listener won't grow distracted by the roar of combustible engines. The phones owe their audio performance to the "turbine" embossed diaphragms, powerful neodymium magnets, and foam damping elements, which combine to ensure strong bass, well-defined mid ranges, and precise treble. In addition, the EH-150 phones are remarkably comfortable, with lightweight diaphragms and soft leatherette ear pads that feel snug whether you're entering the first or ninth hour of use. Additional features include a highly conductive OFC copper cable and a 1/4-inch adapter that fits atop the 3.5 mm stereo plug. The cable measures an impressive 10-feet long, giving listeners greater freedom of movement while still staying connected to the receiver.

I'll state up front that I am no audiophile, but I love music and I am pretty picky about how my music sounds. I ordered these so I can listen to some of my "parental advisory labeled" songs at work :) and let me tell you, for the price you'd be hard-pressed to do better. The sound is just awesome, I can't even find the right adjectives to describe it. Rich, full, textured, deep, etc. etc. You get the idea. I could pick up tiny details and even flaws in the music. I also found them to be very comfortable once I got them properly adjusted, but I will also say that I'm a girl, and my ears and head are probably smaller than a lot of guys' ears. I get headaches from anything that clamps my head too much or is too heavy, which is a problem with a lot of headphones. The EH-150s are light and rest on the head without being too tight, which is a huge plus for me.
Overall I would say they are totally worth what you are going to pay for them. To get much better than this, you'd have to go up considerably in price, and hey, some of us have other things to spend money on besides a $500 pair of headphones - like actual music to listen to. :) Get these cans! |
At last I can hear the Music and not my neighbors car....

These cans are a great deal and the price is great as well. Saw them advertised for a much higher price elsewhere.
Sound quality is supberb for this range and the isolating ability of these phones is better than some very expensive units I have.
They are light weight and comfortable and maximize my minidisc listening. I enjoy nature tapes (just the sound) and classical music where there is a full range from high to low and these are handling it very well.
They are good on the road as I travel via bus and they help with hearing the music and not the traffic.
Very pleased and I own several other types of this brand but these fit the bill. |
Found my Headphones finally!

Great sound, small size and simple design headphones.
I went through a dozen of headphones/earphones starting from cheap and upto very expensive ones Sennheiser HD-590 and Shure e3c.
In my experience, this is only one capable to deliver right amount of bass and the rest of the spectrum.
Funny thing, more expensive headphones get -> less and less bass you will get out of them and more and more treble. Boosting bass only creates more distortion, but no bass (as you would expect).
Another thing to consider: audio source. CD and MP3 are low quality sources with many digital artifacts that distort sound, sometimes pretty bad. More expensive headphones will only add more fire by accurately reproducing all of the imperfections.
In EH-150 case, these imperfections are not noticeable.
Digital imperfections are compensated by EH-150 imperfections. A final result yields pleasant experience even with low quality audio sources.
Reviews sometimes are very misleading. The best way, try to hear headphones first before buying.
EH-150 shares same cons with another closed type headphones (by design).
I know my hearing frequency range : 30 HZ ... 14,000 HZ. EH-150 fits and delivers to "my specs" perfectly.
Although, many who claimed 5 - 38,000 HZ, sounded more like 80 - (only God knows) HZ.
PS:
If you have pro audio store near you like SamAsh - Take some effort and visit this store. They have a rack of ~ 50 pro studio headphones hooked up to top quality audio gears. You will find the ones you like, guaranteed! Because you know exactly what you just purchased - it will save you trouble of any disappointment and following return hassle.
I glad I listen to my friend (pro) advise. Now I have headphones, I am completely satisfied with.
BTW, I fell for legendary SONY MDR7506 professional studio monitor headphones and the good part it is - it was only $99:-)
Good Luck! |
Best Value for sound/price ratio

I think these headphones are great. Earlier I bougt the HD-202's which also sounded great, but those were unbearably painful to wear after a short time. So I returned them and ordered these.
I think the EH-150's have a great sound for twenty-something dollars. I feel like the HD-202's sounded better in that they were crisper with the treble than the EH-150's. I feel like the EH-150s are a little muffled in high frequencies, but these were just so much more comfortable in comparison to the HD-202's.
I think value-wise, these are some of the best you can get out there. |
Bam! These headphones rock!!! Literally.

| These headphones are comfortable, produce EXCELLENT sound, are constructed from high-quality materials, and are cheap. What more do you need to know? Ok, to go into a little more detail, these are simply the best pair of headphones that I have ever used. I like these headphones more than the Bose Triports and I definitely appreciate the amount of money that I saved by purchasing these. The headphones produce clear, loud highs and low, clean bass. I would definitely call myself an audiophile and I would definitely recommend these headphones to anyone who truly appreciates music. |
