Value For Money : Excellent
I use it for 2 months. I take out the pieces that I know very well, my compositions, my microphone (Sennheiser e945 A), and en route for testing.

This headphone is a closed circumaural (around the ear lobes).
The arch looks a bit plastic and fragile but I have not read echoes of negative about it there.

I have an AKG K-100 which is semi-open and I was looking for a closed headphone in order to catch votes avoiding repisse.

The stereo image is good, we come easily to identify an event in the space of a mix.
better check, I view some film clips that I know well (The films have an audio production more demanding in terms of spatial). It is downright impressive, the stereo is excellent.
That said, there are better provided to put a higher price of course.

What struck me was the fact that he can raise defects that went unnoticed with my AKG, especially in high frequencies. Ideal for detecting a hissing voice, or artifacts in the treble.

For cons, I find it very low in the low frequencies, it gives an impression of an excess of mediums quite tiring in the long

The high mids and highs are very present, very dry. I love the fact that we distinguish very well the different cymbals in a mix.
I found it a little weakness in the lower midrange that seem a little behind.
The output level is more than enough but we did not want to stay too long in depth because of the aggressive treble. Take an early Metal Church and I can tell you that you will suffer!

It insulates noise from outside but I expected more in regard to the sound that comes out. That said, I could do a voice test taken without a repisse and a listening level acceptable.

The price / quality ratio is good.

I need to buy a new headphone from my AKG which was pretty bad, and a limited budget, but I do not know if I would do if I have that choice necessarily a larger budget.
For the money, compared to other headsets I've listening to and fro, the HD-215 looks pretty good.
This is a great headset, ideal for a DJ and can be useful for recording mic, but this is clearly not a monitoring headphones. The two main défautx that I gripe is aggressive in the treble on the one hand, and weakness in the bass.

Frankly, if I had to make another choice, I do not think I would take this model, which is far from my needs.

EDIT: After 2 months of use, I have to bring in customer service, a headset suddenly ceases to function, without even pushing. May be bad luck.
