All user reviews for the Sennheiser HD 205

These sennheiser HD 205 headphones are really good.
They are mainly dj headphones and have a nice little rotating phone on the right side so you can easily listen to the next track while you are listening to what you are playing at the moment.
I must say that the frequency response on these headphones are great. Before I got a hold of some studio monitors I was using these to mix and master to and my tracks turned out pretty good.
I have to say that the really low end sub bass does not get picked up as much as I would like, but I am a sub junkie so you can never please me in that aspect.
I paid about £40 for these headphones and they are brilliant for the price. They are pretty lightweight and very strong. They come with a quarter inch jack adapter to plug into your mixer like most dj headphones do and it is a mini jack or 3.5mm whatever you want to call it jack normally.
The jack is gold plated which is very nice, you do not hear any buzz or things like that.
The only problem I would say is that even though on the box it says over ear headphones they do no go fully over your ear as you might expect, the cushion padding area kind of rests on your ear than actually going over it, my ears are really small also so I know what I am talking about
So because they rest on your ear they do start to hurt after a long session of wearing them but by a long session I mean like 4 to 5 hours of wearing them none stop.
Altogether then I think that for the price I paid these headphones are great, good quality noise cancellation and a nice lightweight but sturdy frame that lets you wear them without thinking they are going to break are all good qualities for a pair of headphones like this.
I would definitely pick these again if my bust.

The Sennheiser HD 205's are a pair of studio headphones that are specifically designed for DJ's. One of the ears on these headphones can rotate for listening with one ear only when necessary, hence they are DJ headphones. They aren't designed for any sort of other real pro audio use, but like most headphones can certainly be used in any situation where you'd want to listen to something on headphones. My roommate, who is a DJ, has a pair of these headphones and he likes them a lot for what he's using them for. I've borrowed them a few times just to kind of see what they sound like and to get some comparison to my headphones and others that I've used. While the HD 205's are definitely suitable for listening back to stuff in the studio or elsewhere, I wouldn't use them in the studio for any purposes other than this. I can't speak too much about their usefulness in the world of DJing, but as I said earlier, my roommate who has these uses them for this purpose and likes them a lot. Even though they do have a full enough sound, they're definitely not adequate for mixing and really not even for checking mixes if they're the only headphones you're checking on (they would be fine as an extra set). For these reasons, I wouldn't recommend the Sennheiser HD 205's for anything other than the intended use for DJ's. The price should probably be a bit cheaper, as it's not too far off from the HD 280's, which in my opinion are superior in sound and overall quality, as well as versatility. Check these out if you're looking for a set of DJ headphones, but otherwise I'd consider another pair like the HD 280's or something else from Sennheiser.
