Excellent
I bought this headphone two weeks ago for several applications: listening, and monitoring including DJ. In reading the reviews, I was surprised that they were so mixed.
For my part, for 50 € (you can find it cheaper on the internet) I think it's a good headphone. The overall sound is clear and the answer still quite linear (slight bump to 1500Hz there ...), short listening is pleasant. The bass are not amplified in an exaggerated way (this is the case with many headphones, which can "fool" the ears in some cases, completely crush the spectrum in others). In short, its level for 50 €, that's fine.
Then for comfort, yes, it is a little early. on the other hand, after a few days, the headphone was "relaxed" and it is much less: it is so good. The pads are harder than on other headphones, but we do not feel like a marshmallow on the ears ... especially it is very light.
I listened to a lot of other models in this range and in a range somewhat higher (up to 150 €): frankly, the HD 205 does not have to turn pale at slightly more expensive models.
In short, what I love most: weight, qualié overall sound, the adapter 3.5 -> 6.35 screw.
What I like least: the cable length (this is totally subjective, I prefer to 1.5m), the lack of "space" sound that it is better to have to listen to the daily (and again, it depends on the music, sometimes it's really amazing!)
For 50 €, I repeat, that's fine, and at that price I remake that choice without hesitation.
For a larger budget, it's a different story of course!
