I bought these headphones as a replacement for my AKG K242 HD (same price range) and have not honestly thought that this sound of the Sennheiser would be beaten because I was really unhappy with the ear cushions of AKG.

But this Sennheiser actually manages connected to my HFI-CD player or HD audio card on the PC to develop a clearer and high auflösenderes sound. I could consistently Duch find all genres of music. In Vivaldi's violin concertos, the string hear just yet in terms of true. Rock and pop recordings (such as Ryan Adams, The Kooks, Nirvana, etc.) are just as impressive. Here you can hear again more clearly the difference between good and bad shots. With really good shots came to me just the thought incredible. As I repeatedly visit live concerts both classic and rock I can I think relatively good judge.

A very special treat are live recordings (good of course). The space that is created this listener class. Suddenly you're sitting right in the middle. As an example, I have heard the Fantastic Four MTW unplugged or Clueso and Stüba Philharmonie. I'm just impressed.
This spatial sound asset is probably prescribe the EAR technology (although I'm not usually so the friend of such technologies advertised).
Even in games, movies, television can be heard more easily.

Some one like the sound might be a bit too plain and clear to me gefällts but due to the naturalness is yielding.

It remains to say that in all frequencies clear, smooth playback. Depth, if necessary powerful bass, relatively high sound pressure (despite the open design), midrange and treble clear, especially in classical and instrumental pieces (including guitar etc.) absolutely amazing. Vocal reproduction as well.

Note the open design. That is, it penetrates sound outwardly and from the outside inwards. It is therefore intended to be heard in a quiet area. Of course, we hear from a certain volume from the outside nothing, but others around you a bit. The large ear cushions are really circumaural and do not lie on my realtiv large ears (which was the case at the AKG). However, I liked the AKG of the construction and the materials usually better (not so much plastic). Ultimately, however, the comfort decisively, and the Sennheiser because I have nothing to complain about. It can be worn long and the open construction also wirds not particularly warm.

On portable devices I have not tried it. From the volume ago there should be no problem, but you can already see on the 6,3mm where these headphones would be connected.
