Sennheiser HD 380 Studio Headphones

Headphones that get your attention with great quality

These headphones provide great sound quality. They feature a folding design that makes it easy to carry around. The closed-back design cancels out quite a bit of environmental noise

There is a bit of extra boost in the mid ranges that some uses may find distasteful

Want to use your HD 433's for music then don't - mine are used for voice audio transcription for which they are pretty near perfect although after a few hours your ears can get numb - not that comfortable for long work stints. best thing is that you...

Great Cans

I auditioned the Audio Technica M50's and the Beyerdynamics DT770 80 ohms and I was more impressed with the HD 380. The M50 had like a veil of bass similar to what you would find in the Beat Pros and I don't like that.

Music is very good through these. Bass translates very well doesn't bleed into mids or highs. If you listen to hip-hop and you love your sub bass its there. You may even be surprised that sub bass and actual bass are too different things hahaha. If you...

Not for Bass-heads who want to be engulfed in bass. These headphones are not hi-fi either. They are more mid-level audiophile types cans. Some sound leakage too

Fantastic sound for headphones.

I could not believe my ears! when I heard the sound coming through these phones. Better than the concert hall! These headphones reflect not only the high end sounds but the low, guttural sounds of bass as well. Better than I could have ever expected!...

Comfortable to wear and quality of sound is great
