"the best damn set of headphones i have ever used."
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
Sound
being involved in many live sound recordings, and controlled studio orchestral recordings, it is imperative to be able to monitor with the most true sounding headphones one can find. the sound quality that your headphones deliver ultimately depict what your final mix is going to sound like. engineers frequently rely on their headphones, in live peformences as well as for playback purposes when recording in "controlled environments outside of the stuaio." i did a comparitive test during one recording session. i had my sennheisser headphones, a set of Fostex, and a pair of AKG's and there was without a doubt a huge difference in the quality of audio, being sent back to the cans, i am a session vocalist, and have worked in many studios, and used many different brands/models of headphones...andin my opinion, the sennheisser HD250 headphones are the most realistic and true sounding headphones i have ever used. no other headphone comes close to it. the best thing besides listening to someting with your bare ears, is using the sennheisser HD250. great product!!!
Features
stronger connectors holding the earpeices on more firmly, and a stronger or thicker cable to compliment the strong/rugged design.
Quality
possibly a stronger plastic needs to be used, so that the ear peice wouldnt snap off so easily, risking the thin wire running inside the earpeice of being damaged.… read more a thicker cable. being a live sound engineer, one needs to take into account the moving around all the time, packing and unpacking, different venues,weathers,etc...
Manufacturer Support
i bought my headphones, and mic from a retailer. didnt directly deal wiht the sennheisser agents.
The Wow Factor
its one of the older sets, so perhaps a face lift on the design is in order, right now, its just part of the set-up, however, the quality it delivers makes me overlook the design, and make it my first and only option when hiring gear.
