Sennheiser HD 228 review

The packaging for these on-ear headphones touts explosive bass, but you can have too much of a good thing. While the full range of frequencies was properly reproduced and detailed, it was almost overwhelmed by a ferocious low-end – much like leaving a...

Comfortable and clear sounding, but the huge amount of bass is an acquired taste.

Sennheiser HD 228

Sennheiser's HD 228 closed-back headphones are designed for those of us who commute on noisy trains or buses. Closed-back headphones lack some of the fidelity of their open-back cousins, but compensate for that by excluding much of the background noise...

That, however, is our only complaint. Bass is good for this type of headphone, there's plenty of treble and detail, and we appreciated how comfortable they were, particularly on extended commutes

Sennheiser HD228 Black Headphones [Review]

Underperforming headphones that are overpriced

Lightweight design, decent mid range performance

Poor bass response, flimsy build, too expensive for the performance on offer

It's a good brand

Sennheiser HD228

the lightweight design is good.

the headphone jack has a tendency of 'shorting' after a few months, so be wary.

Great headphones

I do not know why I left my review so late but I bought these 4 months ago and they still look and work as if I just took it out of the packaging. I usually only last a month or even a couple of weeks with headphones, skull candy lowriders broke within...
