Sennheiser HD205 II Headphones Review

Sennheiser HD205 II DJ HeadphonesThe good: The Sennheiser HD 205 II DJ headphones are comfortable to wear even for long-term commitment and exceptional low-budget headphones. Scattering noise is minimal, and protect the sound environment is very effective. The price is affordable and a protective case included.
The bad: The mid-range response is low. The design of hard plastic cracks after moderate use and the headset folds for storage. The side that comes with the cable is too long for portable use, and no way to replace the cable.
Conclusion: Although Sennheiser HD 205 II headphones DJ in good, natural sound and able to deliver the performance, listeners critical lack of charm.


Sennheiser is usually with words like "elite" and "face", but now you can "price conscious" in this list. The Sennheiser HD 205 II DJ (list price $ 80 $ 49 to $ 59 online) are part of the company's online budget HD 200 Series, and for use by DJs and musicians.
The HD 205 II headphones is a medium-sized circumaural design includes a semi-closed and Sennheiser is a two-year warranty. Including a major case of transport of vinyl is thick and 1/4-inch adapter gold plated 1/8-inch screws. The building is beautiful, but it bends a little. "Longevity may be a problem, but the amount of wear is added, ultimately, to the user. After moderate use, but we have a clear indication of breaking the sound from the left edge of the helmet when adjusting the volume.
The company logo is small sample of the money on the wing, as its emblem embossed in silver and high on the hinges of the left and right. The pads are removable and round, and especially black vinyl fabric sewn inside the right earpiece turns slightly upward at 40 degrees in either direction, to supervise an ear and help from the headphones. The exterior of the cup with a circular design with silver accents, while the rest of the chassis is black.
Hard plastic, adjustable headband has a framework that is sufficiently damped inside the ring and offers exceptional comfort in the long run, reducing ear fatigue. (Note that comfort may vary depending on the size of the head, because the legacy of a problem for some and not others.)
The non-detachable face, 10 feet long, straight cable outlet in the left ear and ends in the 1/8-inch sheet - roll is not exactly ideal for travel, however, and it's a big problem. The swivel cord on the inside of the glass raises questions about how to protect the cable is connected and how long the device over time.
Semi-closed design guards against HD 205 II environmental noise - be it underground in the street or in the office - so beautiful that I could not hear a conversation between two colleagues who are 8 feet away from the area test. Therefore, there was minimal loss of sound through the headphones, even at high volume, the only way people heard music headphones when he was under the foot were removed.
We took advantage of HD 205 II headphones combined with a Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q880 laptop (with Dolby Home Theater), an Onkyo TX-L5 receiver and the iPod Classic, Creative Zen Vision M MP3 and Zune HD. With an impedance of 32 ohms, it takes very little energy to drive these headphones, so that the batteries in portable devices with ease.
As far as sound goes, the lower is less pronounced than seven years detailed HD 212 Pro, but the HD 205 II, and is much better than the Shure SRH440 professional studio that was not low enough. High frequencies are a bit "on the choice of HD 205 II, but the highs and lows are balanced, as is the 212 ° The bass is solid, dense and surprisingly deep without being too aggressive - more than enough to keep jump to the head.
Mediums are well integrated into the overall mix. The top is high control pretty well, managing to avoid the mortal sin of the hardness of the cutting edge. This may be important for the use of portable digital audio sources, which tend to be brittle sound in high frequencies.
The heights of the Major Lazer is "Guns do not kill people ... Lazers Do "album sounds fresh and clean, while the bottom was good, but soft Marvin" Midnight Love "album Gaye. The sound of a variety of genres ranging from the great, just okay. More electronic music and instrumental n is not the importance of the DJ or artist wants to achieve, while the broad band tried to create the atmosphere Stomp. Dub Step and hard-rock sound a bit "confused and not as strong signals.
The HD 205 II bass level met the powerful and dynamic, if observed, "Inception" look - one after the next explosion was heard and broken glass was loud and clear. However, the accuracy and clarity seemed to weave in and out - the sound of a gun is stressed or dead Cobbs is spinning, but the people whispered and background noise, such as transport, were "a little weak.
Adjusting the EQ settings on the device or the addition of a headphone amplifier increases the power and clarity, but do not expect miracles, like Sennheiser HD 205 DJ headphones II doses of the budget, after all . Expect a professional sound would be too much to ask, but to play well to listen every day and occasionally for the DJ in training.
