I got a pair of Sennheiser HD 239s for Christmas and they were shorted out of the box! I placed an order for some AudioTech M50s in white and they shipped out Saturday at around 11 pm. They arrived in Ohio (2 states from me) over 12 hours ago. I think I should be receiving them tomorrow even...

Picked up the Mikros 90 on Amazon for $85 and was extremely excited to get them after all that I had read about them – seemed to be a great buy at the discounted price. VERY uncomfortable after about 30 minutes, and I'm not sure it's the clamping force that everyone says – the pain I had was...

Since got my sony mp3 player, I've been using it with the stock headphones which are earbuds going through your ear channel. So, they are almost completely cancelling and isolating the outside noise.   But that open-air thing is way different as far as I've read. It allows outside noise to...

Im looking for entry level open back headphones. So far im debating between the sennheiser 239 and 518. Is it worth it to spend an extra $20 for the 518? Im also opwn to other suggwstions

Is it just me or...

Hi! I decided that I need open on ears for the office. Pulling out my in-ears every time someone wants to speak to me is as inconvenient as taking off my beloved Ultrasones Pro 750s all the time. Plus they might look a tad intimidating. Now. I can get the Yamaha HPH-200 or the Sennheiser...

      hi, i am using hd 203 from over one year and i was satisfied with quality of sound everything like bass sound quality sound separation.one day my friend come to me and introduced me his head gears and i felt like wow with his hd 485 , hd 239 and hd 518 then i got to understand all i am...

Hi!   First off, I ONLY LISTEN TO MUSIC ON MY IPHONE 4S, so I will not need headphones that work best with amps or anything, only need headphones that work best with the iPhone 4S. I'm new to the Head-Fi community, but I really appreciate my music and want to listen to it with the best...

Looking to pick up new headphones and I'm down to these two choices. I tried getting the HD 238 cheap, but it is out of stock. Anyone know if the HD 239 is worth picking up for a small amount more than the PX 200 II ($10)?    Here's what I'm thinking regarding my choices -    HD 239 - ...

I'm thinking about pure sound quality... so what's better in term of that?? Sennheiser HD 239 or HD 449/HD 439/HD 215-II?? Open Back-Closed back is not my concern... neither is Isolation... And I'm not a Bass-head either... But I like the "Right" amount of bass in music....so what's better in...

I find both HD800 and T1 to be uncomfortable on my head even though these may be the top-of-the-line headphones. I don't know, maybe the large earcups that cover the entire ear, resting on the jawline that creates the uncomfortable feeling, or the combination of the clamping force, large earcups...

Christmas is coming soon and a female friend is looking for a pair of headphones. What are your suggestions? She can't stand "suctioney" IEM's or "HUGE" over the ear models. I was looking at something kind of like the HD238 or possibly a true earbud with no suction, just haven't kept up on...

A couple of weeks ago I bought myself the Sennheiser HD239 on-ears cans. I took severel vitis to a local store and the Mediamarkt (a populair electronic company in the Netherlands) and read a lot of threads around here. Dring my tests I also used my own music as source, on which I had some...

I own an old pair of Sennheiser PX-200's and I was considering their replacement to be the Sennheiser HD 239's. The problem is that I jog/run 5 miles at a clip (3 times/week), and I want something that can handle a little sweat, is light and comfy and HAS REALLY GOOD BALANCED SOUND !!! I just...

 Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these. I want feedback from someone cause I am contemplating getting myself one of these. I want to get these for an entry-level open back pair of headphones (if I get these they would be my first open backs). I can get these for pretty...

Ok, this actually isn't for me, but for my girlfriend.  She currently has Sennheiser HD239s, which is happy with sound wise, but now she's started commuting by train, at least a couple of hours a day, and obviously they let a lot of noise in and out, and are far from ideal for that.  She also...

Hi, i am wondering if the soundquality of spotify is good enough for my Sennheiser hd 518 headphones? I also have Sennheiser hd 239. Which one of those is most suitable for itunes 256kbps aac files and spotify?   Thanks in advance.

hello :) I've been searching for some portable over ear, or on ear headphones to be used with my Ipod for general music listening. I listen to mostly reggae/funk/acoustic music so I want my headphones to have a good bass response, but not too heavy, and clear mids and highs. From the research...

Anyone here who has experience with the Sennheiser hd 239 headphones. If, what do you think about them? What can you compare them with?   Does it matter that the earpads have a little smaller area where the sound goes thru?     What are your opinions about the sound quality. I have hd...

Up until recently I've been using IEM's but now I want some headphones. I listen to metal, using a Cowon C2. I've always used colder more analytical earphones but I want a warmer headphone, I want the music to be fun. Any suggestions? All price ranges please. Aus dem geist der geisterkranken

Right so let me start of by saying that I'm not all that clever with sound, I'm planning on purchasing a headphone to enjoy my music. My budget is quite tight (around £60-80), with that in mind I decided to take a look at some headphones on Amazon, I came across two that took my interest...thus...

I've made a comprehensive search of the forums, and I haven't found a satisfactory answer for what I'm looking. A few year ago I went trough a similar issue and after reading a lot it was evident that the best option that I had were the S4. Not a single question needed. Not the case today.  ...

Just a friendly thread to see just what equipment people are valuing highly, and what they are using them for (Music, Movies, Games etc) Might even help me decide on my first open set of headphones, based on peoples recommendations. :)

i bought the hd 239 and compared it to my old headphone. the hd 239 sounds better but not much. im expecting more details. so will an amp bring out the detail in the sennheiser hd 239?
