Sound:
************************
The sound is in low frequency ranges a little more pronounced than in high frequency ranges, but nevertheless everything seems very balanced. The bass and bass tones are bold but clear and defined. An outdated Depending on the piece of music from pretty. Also commendable: Despite the deep and voluminous bass rattles or crackles nix. However, high frequency sounds are clear and balanced, resulting in a total of a voluminous and contrasting sound experience.
I hear a lot of trip-hop, for example, Electronica, (minimal) techno, dubstep, but also alternative rock and other. For these styles of music is the headphones in the low-price segment just right, because the deep and powerful bass contrasting perftekt to the heights. In my eyes a 1A sound experience! But I also listen to another and have always experienced in this Mountain hoarse a top sound quality.
Comfort:
************************
The headphone surrounds almost the entire ear (at least for me. And my head is rather large fall) and isolated from the outside noise fairly complete. Another plus is also that of the outside can not hear anything, even if you listen to loud music let it fly. The HD 203 can be turned as easily up - there's nothing to hear! And despite everything he is for me of the models that enclose the ear, one of the most compact headset that I know. Many other models are very important to me as "Mickey Mouse", too heavy or too bulky. Also it can be - even well into a travel bag - the human scale. In an emergency, you can remove the Speaker shells - then he needs even less space. Also it is very easy, which further increases the comfort. At the beginning he sits a little tight on the ears, to have adapted somewhat to the head shape, the strap. But even here, the quality speaks for itself: Even after 3 years wearing slips nothing, even if I bend down times or shake my head.
When HD 212 Pro could reorder separately also the cable, if something was torn or frayed (if that's the case with the 203, I can not say). And since the headphones moved in a very humane price range makes it me also not mind if after 3 or 4 years something should go wrong. Although I would like to say: I had my 212 for 4 years constantly on the ear because I never go without music from the house (!). Also in the main I had him always with you, and he did still nen impeccable impression even after time.
I've had a lot of headphones on the ears, but have been really convinced by any other. The sound experience was in many indeed as good and / or even a little better; for these models have then also tripled tasted what I daily use (also in nightlife) will not expect. I am therefore completely satisfied with the price / performance ratio and, above all, with the sound quality.
The only weak points:
************************
First: For all models, I had: The cables. Here it is recommended that the cable vulnerabilities bandaging (each at the plugs and at the fork) with black Gaffa tape, so the coating is somewhat protected. Then hold the cord forever with appropriate handling.
Secondly, the cable is (for my use) something bad long. Although I was (at home, in a radio play on the couch) even glad that it was so long. In everyday use in your pocket but you've ever been after a light to medium fumbling. Here Sennheiser creates with the specially developed coil cable Remedy. Who wants: I highly recommend it.
Overall, do you do with these headphones but nothing wrong! Thoroughly recommended! Four stars.
