Member Reviews: Sennheiser HD 203 Closed Back Around-the-Ear Studio Headphones

Got these over two years back at best buy. Wanted to try a sennheiser headphone since i heard so many great things. So i decided to get these for $50. When i got home and tried these on i was disappointed. Sounded tinny to me. But with some burn in i liked them. Now when i listen to them 2 years later i don't know what i was talking about it being tinny since these have quite a lot of bass. These have a V shaped sound sig to my ears. The bass is a bit bloated and muddy and treble a bit sibilant but for $50 its not bad. You can still hear the mids and these actually have good detail. No soundstage though and the sound is very cramped and kind of jumbled together sounding. Nonetheless a...

These were the first headphones I bought, and I am really happy with them. I wasn't expecting such great sound from these phones. They led me to buy more expensive headphones as I was quite curious how more expensive ones would sound If these sounded so great. Although now I realise they weren't SO great, they're a great first buy!

A friend bought me this one over 1 year ago. Never had heard anything so awesome as this one. It's the "DJ" edition with a bass enchancement wich is quite rare in the closed backs due to lack of air for reverberation. It's awesome for listening to any kind of music!   Great for gaming, but not perfect. I'm wanting to buy myself an Sennheiser 555 when i have the money because this started quite a nice musical  revolution in my life.
