" ... Highs are a bit too crisp. ... "
" ... The sound is balanced at all volume levels and does not sound to overpowered in either of the three categories of highs, mids, or lows. ... "
" ... Base is awesome while still maintaining the treble. ... "
" ... The highs are nice, the middle tones have VERY occasional distortion (which could always be deemed a fault of the audio file) and the bass isn't too over-bearing. ... "
" ... The acoustic range is better than some other pricier headphones and there's no fiddling with the equalizer settings to get it just right. ... "
" ... Treble is crystal clear ... mids are confidently kicking ... A tweak with the equalizer should fix it. ... "
" ... These headphones are never harsh, but still deliver surprisingly accurate highs. ... The mids are very present and clear, the bass range is clear and dynamic if a bit lacking in volume. ... "
" ... Overall, it has a surprisingly clean sound, treble sounds "detailed enough" but not piercing, a little polite, but a very enjoyable sound. ... "

" ... Overall I am very disappointed in this headset. ... "
" ... Malfunctioning jack made my second pair of these unusable. ... "
" ... The left ear speaker still works but there is zero sound coming out of the right ear speaker. ... "
" ... Headphone jack is too large to plug in to my iPhone case (my other Sennheisers are fine). ... "
" ... Headphones would only play out of one ear. ... "
" ... I also find the jack "bends" easily, and so in the end it damaged, and so I lost all sound after 4 months of use. ... "
" ... The headset isn't on right now and I still feel my earlobes throbbing . ... I'm searching for more expensive over the ear Sennheiser now. ... "
