  • "Extremly uncomfortable. Mediocre sound."
    2.0 stars

    Pros: Company logo.

    Cons: After 5 minutes of testing I had to stop using those headphones as they are extremely uncomfortable.

    Summary: Absolutely do not buy. Sennheiser HD205 feels like Chinese water torture - after few minutes, it is not big deal at all, but such discomfort becomes true torture after 20-30 minutes. Those headphones are designed to clamp around your head with significant force for few reasons: claim to have great sound isolation, and good sound overall. Well, let me demonstrate how they managed both of those. Buy any mediocre headphones with poor isolation and not very great sound. Now, push those headphones as hard as you can against your ears, and you will see noticeable "improvement". Suddenly you can hear much more bass, and the rest of frequencies somehow become more vivid! But, it hurts after few moments. Sennheiser used this idea for their design concept. Not only that, they wanted to make sure your ears will be fully compressed, so they created oval shape which instead of hugging the ear around, it actually pushes against the cartilage. Perfect torture device if you ask me.
