Natural sounding headphones
By S. Urquhart
These are great headphones. They reproduce sound very naturally and have an extremely flat frequency response found typically in headphones costing far more money. The best part of these headphones is that they are very easy to drive at only 32 ohms. That means you can plug them into your portable and achieve blistering sound pressure levels. These headphones are articulate and a pleasure to own. The open air design allows the music to extend beyond the cans and expands the music, granted not as well as Sennheiser's high end phones like the hd-600 or 650's.The headphones are easily adjustable and comfortable for more than an couple of hours. They feature replaceable pads and wires which is a great advantage.Who should buy these headphones:-People who want faithful music reproduction that extends from low bass to high treble.-People who listen to clasical and jazz music (although I love them for all my music listening)-Audiophiles on a budget and who don't want to buy the headphone amp to power their HD-600's on a portable device.Who shouldn't buy them:-People who want that extra crazy bass boom for their rap, dance,etc.-Here's a tip if you want the same great performance with the extra bass boom go for the 212pro model or the better sounding EH250 model.

Form, Fit, and Function - All Good
By M. Stewart
I studied the headphone specs and reviews until my eyes watered and I'm quite happy to have settled on these.FORM - Nice, simple physical design. Replaceable cable and ear cups are nice features, 10' straight cable is longer than necessary for most uses, and the 1/8" connector with obligatory 1/4" adapter is the way to go unless you are working from extremely high end source equipment, in which case, you're probably not reading this review.FIT - As of the time of this review the Sennheiser website lists these headphones as "circumaural" (around the ears) in the 'Features' section but on the 'Technical Specs' page they list them as "Supra-aural" (on the ears). No wonder people are confused. In reality, the way the ear cups fit will depend primarily on the size of your ears. On my reasonably average sized 40-year old ears, they are circumaural, but barely. Unfortunately fit is a critical aspect of headphones - it doesn't matter how good they sound if you can't stand to have them on your head. Obviously this is an inherent risk in on-line buying, so just be aware that the ear cups on this model are definitely on the small side of the circumaural offerings. That said, they fit me (and many others based on reviewer comments) just perfect. They do keep my ears warm but not nearly to the point of sweating thanks to the "open-aire" design. Note also that the cups only adjust up and down so if you've got a really giant noggin (to house your enormous brain) they may be on the tight side. For me, they're just tight enough to be snug. I'd have to be doing some serious head-banging to shake these things loose. These are also VERY light so that helps quite a lot in the comfort department.FUNCTION - I have to say these were just a little harsh sounding initially but they seemed to smooth out after a couple of hours of use. I suppose this improvement is due to the initial speaker break-in. Now they are quite nice - warm, full, and entirely pleasant. The bottom line is that these headphones sound great - nice separation, tight crisp bass, plenty of high end detail, etc, blah, blah... essentially, everything you would expect. Just keep in mind, they are marketed as suitable for "monitoring" applications. This means that they are designed to deliver an absolutely flat, accurate representation of the source signal. I don't have the equipment necessary to measure this level of accuracy, but that's how they sound to me - exactly like the original recording was meant to sound, with plenty of highs and lows and no unnatural boost on either end. The open back design won't block much ambient sound, but as others have mentioned, there are benefits to open 'phones in terms of overall sound quality. In terms of source, I've been getting acquainted with these headphones by way of a variety of music on CD (Bill Frisell, Godsmack, Stone Sour, Robert Earl Keen, 'Maiden, Willie) played by Windows Media Player on an IBM T42 laptop with a standard issue SoundMax integrated soundcard. Just a side note on source, if you're shopping for higher end headphones, consider the quality of your source format. Nicer headphones may make mp3 files sound better but they will also highlight any shortcomings in the compressed format.IN SHORT: Well, they are Sennheisers after all, and those folks know a thing or two about headphones. If these are comfortable on your ears and you're anything short of a full-blown audiophile, you'll definitely like them. I won't say they sound great "for the price" because at well under $100, they actually sound great despite the price. Of course if money is no object then you can surely do better, but I don't think you can do worlds better unless you are starting with high end source equipment. For most of us listening to good quality recordings in lossless formats on portable cd players, laptops, and the like, the eH350's are more than adequate, they're perfect.

great value, sound and comfort
By takezo
i was in the market for a portable, lightweight, enclosed and cheap headphone when my steady but old senn 540 II reference went dead.the eh-350 is very lightweight and surprisingly comfortable (after about 15 minutes i completely forgot i had them on) and comes with a 10ft. cable just long enough to feel less contrained...for the money, this has to be one, if not the best, of the best sounding headphone in the market. my girlfriend uses a sony can that pushes a lot of bass but feels uncomfortable to the ears after 30 minutes. a friend uses the grado series but those are quite more costly and sound "cold" and leaning towards the high frequencies, to my ears... the grado may be better suited for metal or hard rock...the eh-350 on initial listening sounded a bit dull or flat but after breaking it in, for about 10 hrs., the headphone drivers blossom and it opens up a warm, almost velvety range of sound, though not as expansive as the hd-600 i use for home listening. if you listen to mostly vocal, adult contemporary or acoustic music in certain rock genre, classical, jazz and folk this headphone is the way to go.oh, did i mention how lighweight and comfy these gems are?
