the lightweight design is good

the headphone jack has a tendency of 'shorting' after a few months, so be wary

Great headphones

I do not know why I left my review so late but I bought these 4 months ago and they still look and work as if I just took it out of the packaging. I usually only last a month or even a couple of weeks with headphones, skull candy lowriders broke within...

Sennheiser HD228

By kush (reevoo.com) Read the full review

Headphones look great, sound quality is good, however long wear will hurt the ears, but will def reccomend any one intrested to buy, as value for money you cannot go wrong

Mainly the comfort on ears, maybe my ears are more sensative then someone elses ears

Sennheiser HD 228 review

By (expertreviews.co.uk)

The packaging for these on-ear headphones touts explosive bass, but you can have too much of a good thing. While the full range of frequencies was properly reproduced and detailed, it was almost overwhelmed by a ferocious low-end – much like leaving a...

Comfortable and clear sounding, but the huge amount of bass is an acquired taste.

We were able to tame things with judicious use of equalisation but we'd prefer a more neutral starting point.

Sennheiser HD 228

By Tristan François (digitalversus.com)

For those of you who don't know what 'supra-aural' headphones are, they're headphones with pads that sit flat over the top of your ears, rather than having the doughnut-shaped earpads that fit around them. The main advantage of this design is that it...

Light

Pretty much no bass, weak treble ; Mediocre sound quality ; Low-quality materials ; Mediocre finish

Sennheiser HD228 Black Headphones [Review]

By Prasad Naik (techtree.com)

Underperforming headphones that are overpriced

I believe the design of the HD228 is flawed, but sound can be made reasonable after some attention. The problems are that the headband does not have e
