So I was able to trade a baguette for Alan's old Sennheisers following his recent defection from Germany to Austria.
First thing I did with these babies was rip off the fuzzy stuff that was covering them. This removed the low volume problems that Alan was having and really let them shine. Bass on these is reasonable but overall sound quality is excellent. They are also very comfortable in my ears.
Sennheiser dominate the mid range in ear headphone market with their products having excellent cost to quality ratio. And if you can pick one up for cheap like I did I recommend it.
One thing they really need to work on however is their numbering system. They have like 15 diferent products in the MX series with no identifiable diference between "lanyard included", "attached cable winder." This is the kind of thing that puts you off as it is obviously Sennheisers way of attempting to attract the casual audience as opposed to people who actualy appreciate their music. The fuzzy things over the ear phones were more evidence to this. (Would anyone leave these on?)
Sennheiser make excellent audio equipment but they really need to have their marketing department shot.
Yeah, I meant the little foam sponges that wrap them. After removing them they seemed to sit in my ear better.
ReplyDeleteI thought they were alright for the price (Since I did get mine for free), anything in that range is going to be pretty much terrible for sound quality.
