Got the Sennheiser catalog in the mail the other day and I was just looking through it. Has anyone heard the eH 2270's? They are listed as audiophile closed back cans and I'm just wondering how they sound.

 

[Guyferd]

they sound OK, but not great.
They were my first pair of cans. I lived happily with it for a while until I tried a pair of beyer dt250-80

 

[Jasper994]

lame, they look really comfy

They are the same as the HD-270, and the eH2200 is the same as the HD-200, the eH1430 is the same as the HD-433, all use same drivers and same size, but just another colored can etc. So just look for reviews for them and you will find out there are better alternatives for a equally sized 'phone

okay thanks I guess I won't be getting another closed can from Sennheiser.

The eH 2270 is as bad-sounding for the $$$ as the other Sennheisers that were designed in 1998 and introduced in 1999. You see, 1999 was a particular low point for Sennheiser - as far as the quality and performance of their new designs is concerned.

I think the two best closed Sennheiser cans are the HD280 and the HD25-1.....other than that, you'll be stuck with open phones....

are you trying to build up a sennheiser collection?

The 280 Pro is the winner among the closed Sennheiser phones.

the eh2200 and 2270 are great closed cans for studio/session work. They don't emphasise any one part of the spectrum, have so-so isolation (the hd280's are better) but mostly they do a good job of making an uncolored presentation. A bit boring, perhaps, but they are not marketed towards the home listening segment.

That would pretty much be the HD-250II phone that is th best closed in the Sennheiser. The HD-280 compared, is like having a big sock inside the socks, nt making the sound muffled - but lacking all kind of punch that was intentionally put into music. An example for trying could be Scooter - **** the millenium, at 2:12, see if you get the "wham"....
