Anyone know these? Pricing and looks are similar to the HD202, the specs show a tad higher sensitivity and bass response (though there's no THD spec for the 207 available), but apart from that there is very little to be found on the HD207 - not even the Sennheiser website knows it. I was looking at these two models because I'd like to have mobile cans with more isolation (you know, I still need my hearing, and those buses tend to be fairly loud) and warmer (and still decent) sound than my DT231s which don't cost a fortune. K26Ps might also be an option but these are a tad more expensive and the comments on their muddy bass and all that (along with the THD spec of 1%) are putting me off a bit.

BTW, is the HD2x2 series still comfortable enough if you're wearing glasses?

Are you sure that the 7 in HD207 isn't supposed to be a 1? Because there is a new closed senn headphone called HD201 and it's building up a nice reputation for being a great value for money closed can.

I think he's talking about these.

Sennheiser also make the EH 150, which has similar stats to the 207:

I not alot of info out there about it though. Must be new?

Yup, the eHx50 series is quite new (came out with HD201, HD465, HD485). The eH150's FR looks like it would be a bit honky; I'd prefer the eH250 but that costs >50€ and I cannot spend this much on cans ATM. (Besides, I have a notoriously bright source and would like to compensate this.) The HD202 looks intrigueing as it features rather high isolation. (However, it doesn't fold up like the K26P would.) I guess I'll also have to look at inexpensive in-ears (Creative EP-630 and Sony EX71 mostly); how much they isolate compared to K26P/HD2x2 would have to be researched.
