Good for games

Strengths: Great surround effect, nice sound, comfortable

Weakness: No attached volume control

I mainly bought these headphones so I can be imersed in my games. And it works. It has a surround sound feeling without being surround sound. Good bass. I play Battlefield 2 and I can hear the direction were the gunfire and explosions are coming from. These headphones block out most of the noise, but not all. Which is good for me since I need to hear when my wife is calling me.

Possibly best sub-$100 headphones

Strengths: Bass, good midrange and decent highs; comfortable for hours on end; looks cool

Weakness: Compared against headphones under $100, nothing really mentionable

Make sure to "break in" these headphones by running them for 24 hours at a mid-high volume. You can't go wrong getting these headphones, especially when sites like buy.com sell these cans for as little as $41. You're getting your money's worth buying these headphones.

Sennheiser HD-212 Studio Monitor Headphones

Strengths: Heavey Bass, Extremely Comfortable, Block out most exterior sounds

Weakness: Heavy bass, Bulky, 3m long cord

This is an excellent pair of headphones. I primarily listen to Linkin Park for which these headphones are well suited. They can at times have too much bass which distorts the songs. These headphones are not mobile at all. I would not reccomend them for anyone who would need them to jog, for example. They block out most all outside noises. Overall these headphones have superior sound quality to...

Sennheiser HD-212 Studio Monitor Headphones

Strengths: Very strong and pronounced bass. Very clear mid tones. Quite possibly the best headphones for this price range. Also, the earphones are a bit too tight, However, this will go away with wear.

Weakness: Bass is a bit too loud

I ordered a pair of hd-212's from amazon. As i took them out of the box, i knew the hd-212's were a great set of headphones. Superior packaging, long nice cord, professional looking phones. My roommate owns a pair of px-100's which are basically lower entry level headphones. However, sound quality is not compromised. This is definately a nice set of headphones and i recommend them to anyone who...

Sennheiser HD-212

Strengths: Amazing bass and very comfortable earpieces.

Weakness: Because they fit so snugly, when I wear it for an extended period of time it can become a bit sore, but it's nothing worse than most other headphones you'd find.

Overall I'm verry happy with this item... especially for how cheap they are relative to other headphones of comparable quality and how great the sound is. I would definitly recommend this to anyone looking for a low-price, great-sounding headphone.

These look nice, are very comfortable and light-weight, have AMAZING sound. The sound is extremely crisp, clear, transparent, detailed. I'd definitely recommend these headphones to anyone who wants great quality, and great comfort, for a great price.

Great headphones with any device for a great price!

Strengths: Clean sound, Increased Bass, Noise-Canceling, Comfortable, Nice Price

Weakness: None!

I purchased these headphones in December of 2004 for the sole purpose of taking them when I traveled. My wife and I travel, at times a great amount, and I always have to have some type of electronic toy to entertainment me on the flight. These headphones have been all that could want from a pair of headphones and they are still one of my smartest buys in years. I have used these many times on...

Good quality for a low price

Strengths: Great sound for a relatively inexpensive set of headphones. Blocks out background office noise. Light weight and your ears don't get hot.

Weakness: A little uncomfortable after a few hours of wear (I do have glasses though which contributes).

I really like these headphones especially at the price. I have a much more expensive pair of audiophile headphones for home use and these compare nicely. I would recommend these to anyone who wants great sound that will block out external noise at a very reasonable price.

good sound quality, comfortable to wear, like it

Strengths: As others mentioned it has nice base, I use it with my laptop to watch movie, the results are great. Compared to my Senheisser PX-100, it's very comfortable to wear and can block noise much better.

Weakness: wire is long, need to tie it up all the time.

Bought it from amazon, love it since the first moment touching it. In this price range, I think this is one of the best. Using it to watch movie, I can hear the details which I can not hear when using my laptop speaker. Would definitely recommand to friends

Sennheiser HD 212 Pro

The Sennheiser HD 212 Pro is a set of dynamic headphones designed for the dj with an incredible emphasis on the bass response. These are mid-level headphones that have what some might say too much bass as well as an appealing silver construction. The earpads rest on top of the ear and dont surround them completely due the aural design, and closed means that the headphones form a seal with the ear...
