Hi,   Yesterday I bought the Sennheiser HD228 in white colour. I could see from the loads of dust on the packaging it was hanging there in the store for quite a time. I opened it then (it was completely sealed so I it hadn't been opened yet). I looked at the headphones and they looked really...

Hello every one.. Just joined and before that I did search and read some of your member opinions about couple headphones.   I am in need of new ones and I was looking at Sennheiser HD 228 (ebay) and also Ultrasone Zino ( at my local store) . I will use these with my 1st gen ipod touch and...

I was wondering which sounds the best. I am thinking of getting the Sennheiser hd 228's but does the M50 sound better. I'll be using them with my computer and ipod touch. A portable amp if necessary is fine no more than $100.        And I just threw in the skull candy ink'd because a friend...

Because everyone likes a good mod, and you need a place to boast about your modding exploits. Tell us all about your favorite Sennheiser modifications. Here's one to start us off: the insanely easy HD 228 center foam removal mod, aka, the astroid mod. (Credit to Head-Fi'er astroid, for...

Hello,   I am new to these forums and the headphone world. I've been browsing around a bit and I can definitely say that you guys know your stuff so I would like to ask for some advice. I'm looking for some new headphones that will fit my needs.   1. Portable. I won't be using any other...

I use Sonys MDR-XD200 for everything I do, walking, gaming, etc. I listen to Trance/Euro/Techno mostly and I'm looking to upgrade them.   I do novice mixing when I get the time and prefer the full-size headphones over others.   My budget is to $200 and I'm looking for something with a...

I currently own a pair of Bose Around Ear Headphones (http://www.testfreaks.com/headphones-headsets/bose-around-ear-headphones/) but they are a bit dinged up and I think it is now time for a new pair (under $100).  I know Bose seems to get a lot of flack, but in comparison to the Senheiser HD...

I am a complete newbie to nice headphones. I've known nothing but my apple earbuds since I started getting into music a few years ago. Now they're getting broken and such and I want to learn what some possibilities are. :-)   I need them to be portable first. I'll basically be using them...

I've had the 228 hd's, but they just stopped working after 2 months. I take very good care of my things, and maybe it was just a bad pair of headphones, idk.   However, I loved every second I had these headphones, but how fast they broke and how fragile they were really makes me not want to...

I've been looking for a new portable headphone for awhile, then I came across these. I gotta admit these are the sexist looking portables I've seen, and I almost pulled the trigger right away without even researching. Turns out, while they're very comfortable, SQ is supposedly mediocre. I...

The upper end of my budget is around about €40(including delivery to Ireland). I'm getting a set of headphones mainly for commuting on the bus to college. The options I've been looking at are the Sennheiser 228, JVC s400 and Beyerdynamic DT-235 The Sennheisers I'm considering as all my...

First off the price range. I got my hd228s for 45$ new on ebay but prices vary and the msrp is 120$. The ht21s I got on ebay as well for 25$(both these prices include shipping).   Sennheiser hd228- These headphones were my first Hifi set, before that I loved my skullcandy lowriders. These...

Hi guys, I'm thinking about getting a pair of new headphones, and am trying to decide between the HD228 and HD238's. I've heard the HD228's are better for noise isolation, but that the 238's sound more balanced, I was just wondering what you guys thought about the sound quality when comparing...
