Senn HD 435 (how good is it?)

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Hello there,

as i am a bit low on budget at the moment, can only afford a cheap set of headphones. and after searching for a good open headphones with good base, this was the best i could find under 30 pounds (sub$60).

if anyone out there owns one, or have tested one, it'll be great to hear it, or if you know any alternatives or have general comments about it, please guide me

i will use these for general music listening, heavy rock mostly, gaming and other things i might listen to when at my pc.

the reason i choose this was that it has an emphasis on bass, and it is probably the bassyiest open headphone for the price.

i can't use closed/sealed headphones at home, simply because i will not hear anything (doorbell, or when someone calls me, or even the phone!) so i went for open headphones. also i have been recommended to get open headphones, as they have a more realistic sound and better sound staging in general,

there was a nice, comprehensive review in "The Audiophile Voice" and you can check the web for reviews (amazon.com, newegg.com, etc)

thanks, i cant really trust average people's reviews, because some of them never had a good headphone, and then they get a pair of senn's and they think it's the best (it is for the price). i actually saw one review that said cx 300's sound quality was comparable with the HD 650's i couldnt stop laughing for a few minutes.

the thing is, before buying an expensive pair of headphones, i want to buy 2 cheap headphones, one open and one closed, to see which one i prefer.

btw, since u r from senn, do u know if there are any show rooms or any kind of place that lets you test sennheiser headphones before you buy? in UK of course

thanks

maybe because there aren't any. i think sennheiser should advertise more, i was introduced to Senn by my friend, and since i have bought the cx300's, i have more interest for music, and most of my friends have bought senn's after testing mine.

i love senn, i wish i could see more of them in here (uk)
