I do again my choice: Yes.

Thank you & thank you to Sennheiser & Audiofanzine.

I use my mp3 & for the music studio.
Flexible, lightweight, foldable, soft coussinner.
I like listening to music: Hardstyle / Techno / Dance, Electro / Rock...ect
I'm am tired to ear, you can listen with headphones lontemps.
It is not too tight with either.

The headphone is still solid, not at all fragille.
it is not degraded yet.

Good audio quality headphone & very good balance with & stereo.

A little over a month at home, not working almost exclusively with headphones, that's saying something if I tested a few, for now and for the price, this is the best I was in the hands (and ears). What I like the most? It is not wrong. Not disappointed, I can only advise.

Using home-studio engagement, mixing and more. Completely covers the ears and comfortable, light and strong, not tiring at all after hours, it is quickly forgotten.

It has good looks solid and I like his twisted cable (it no longer drags the ground), I've had a month so we will wait and see for degradation.

I had an Audio-tecnhica M30 and the difference and flagrant. I mix with, spring exactly my speakers. It is a happy discovery for me and a real pleasure. Great sound reproduction, good insulation, treble midrange and bass as I want.

Very simple, I just got it this morning and I already post a notice so I satisfait.J have tried other models like the HD540 reference (80's) and HD201 (same brand), the Beyer DT770 (see my opinion), the prodipe pro580 (see my tutorial / review) a kenwood stereo (rare truth fantastique! 80's), AKG k24p (very good) and a Sony in-ear (very good).
From the first seconds of listening: a serious down very low without highlighting catches my attention.Puis I felt really rediscover what true sound. Finally fluidity worthy of the name (thank you sennheiser, as the hd540réf). absolutely not a sharp acidic nor aggressive, quite the contrary, it is without end is sweet softness, this is true even compared to my reference speakers (CAF Best Sphinx).
The dynamic also true of the subwoofer to the extreme aigu.C is a beautiful sound that I hear or I rediscovered my recordings and also those of others as my CDs.
The only downside, which may be is not one: the sound is so well controlled that I wonder if there is not a slight dip in the midbass. To find out, I will make hours of testing and listening to different speakers, headphones and even amps with different records ... We'll see later and I need to reposterais ...
I did my tests with an amp Hitachi HMA8500MK2 (rare transparency was critical of this amp dual mono) Philips CDR775 CD player and my pc's components MP3. I listened to a CD of classical very well recorded (beautiful its) sung by a tenor Placido DominXXX which incorporates French songs / English and sings with other famous singers.

I use it very frequently since July 2012.
Very versatile, good sound reproduction. Whatever you say, the bass are not too pronounced or weak. BP, very faithful (in view of the price).

Listen on the class A-Technics and Yamaha and Denon by passing high-end sound cards (+ audio files in wav 96 kHz). This husband perfectly with any preamp.

Moreover, when switching on Ipod or laptop, serious too pronounced. Once again we see that good preamps and good files make the difference.

NOTE TO MUSICIANS! Very good headphones for studio and stage. 30 db attenuation are present! however, fall into severe: less than 27dB in the low (300 Hz <logic)

Drummer, I find it perfect for recording studio (it means playing without pain).

Before buying I hesitated with Audio Technica ATH-PRO700 MK2 and AKG K-551
And when I was able to compare all three, my choice is stopped on the sennheiser. Not for its price (the most expensive is not necessarily the best).

The Sennheiser HD 380 Pro headphones are a set of headphones that can be collapsed for storage and transportation. The cord is able to come off and they come with a carrying case. The frequency response on these has been extended from previous models to really allow that bass to come through the way it is intended. I absolutely loved mixing with these because every time I mixed with them I would get a great sounding baseline.
They were very comfortable on my head, I have worn them for over 2 hours in one session before without even having to take them off or adjust them. The head band is adjustable and it was very comfortable. I was using these headphones for about 2 years and I actually still own them I just don’t use them as much as I use to. I recommend getting these though because they are an older model and can be purchase at a dirt cheap price right now online. But just because they are an older model does not mean they are not great! When they first came out everyone either had a pair of these or wanted a pair. You can get them now for around 100 bucks online, which is a steal.
The highs were very crisp and clean with warm mid tones to balance them out. They didn’t color the sound at all and exactly how the mix sounded is how they projected the sound. It was so easy to get a clean mix with them. Also with the extended frequency response on this model allowed the bass to come through them booming! The bass was very clean and low; I was able to mix those really low tones cleanly through this like I could through some of my better studio monitors. I never used the H 380 Pro headphones to listen to music with from my iPod but I am sure they would have sounded great. These are made for mixing engineers!

- How long have you been using?
I use it since March, the week in high school on my phone unfortunately we lose power, low enough not to appointment ...
Against by the weekend I connect my JVC amp and I listen to FLAC ... & I rediscover the headset.

- What I like the most .. least
What I like most is the sound. A little EQ and you get something really great. The sound do not even earache and super nice.
What I like the least ... Anything. I could only find no fault can be apart plastic appearance too .. but that is a matter of taste!

- Did you try many other models before buying it?
Yes I tested many models, Beats Studio, AKG, Prodipe and I must say that my headphone is appreciated by the report that all headphones I've tried.

- Value for money
At all events! A friend of mine had this headphone and this is to try it prompted me to buy it just I was expecting much more headphones .. when I saw the price nine (129 euros Euroguitar) I'm falling on the c **. I ordered within 10 minutes that followed.

- You do again this choice?
For use as I am, listening simple and small mixing a small entry table 5, this headphone is perfect to me, very comfortable.

* How long you use it?
3 weeks

* Did you tried many other models before buying it?
Not in this product line. Being unable to test it before purchasing (sacrilege I know for certain ^ ^), I relied on many critics (including here) and items of specialized sites.

* What is so special that you love the most, least?
I had several requirements for the headphone I wanted:
- It is comfortable for good listening sessions but also that the headphones are adjustable (possible use of type DJ)
- Closed type so as not to benefit others, and myself not being bothered by outside
- It is rather neutral and faithful, in fact approaching qqchose more "audiophile" (at least much more than the product entry / low end)
- Finally, its impedance is relatively easy to let the driver including with mobile sources

This headphone filled all these requirements with flying colors

Very comfortable though still a bit "stiff", but it is still new so it will get better work out like the others.
For sound:
I found the sound of the HD238 (open) good enough and airy. I was afraid it sounds like the HD202 too closed ... Not at all! I was quite impressed, I even think it has nothing to envy to some open models.
For the frequency response I am also very happy. Finally a headphone without sweetened low, a piece with little bass in a little, a bit more responsible and rewarded with a low round and warm but never exaggerated nor tiring.
Listening with headphones that makes the instruments more lively and easy to distinguish the nuances are more noticeable and it is not uncommon to hear details go unnoticed with other headphones, even with songs that we know well!
Also clear treble sound, very clean and not agressants. All this emerges a good sense of clarity, that's exactly what I wanted.

The downside is that a piece of poor quality is immediately heard. With this headset, choose if possible sources of good quality material. Use of audio cd, mp3 no less than 192kb / s or better yet the FLAC example, it is a treat!
It is also we realize that the basics of PC sound cards are not very faithful and clear high frequency, my player does better!

May be a less, the coiled cable that is both practical and annoying depending on usage at one point but ...
A good point when even the detachable cable and replaceable so

* How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent! I had not thought of exploring the catalog Professional brand before, I knew that the products are good but also very expensive.
This model is an exception, it deserves to be known.

* With experience, you do again this choice? ...
No problem! Go for it!

I use since January 2012:10 / 10
I essaiyé AKG very good: 10/10 & Roland Very good and solid: 10/10.C is my third Sennheiser, very good: 10/10.
It folds in one box of the brand with a zipper, all completely protected for the trip or the concert: 10/10.
The cable is run, its not like I, parfoit I rest my acrochés tables travaillle of my studio, very good sound, flexible & lightweight: 9/10.
Qualiter good, very good, but the price one can compare to the Roland Dear, My maillieur Quality: 10/10 and AKG: also very good: 10/10.
Price 159 Euro a bit expensive, for that price I have a Roland RH-300 or RH-200s.
My Choice, It's Roland, I have purchased 4 Roland Headphones: 2 Professional & Semi-Pro 2.

Basically, I was looking for headphones for monitoring the live concert. I tried the HD25 (I have not hooked without knowing why, the form probably supra-aural) and DT770 (bcp too big, untransportable, and take a place in the phnomnale flight of a console!). I chose the HD 380 pro.

TRS headphone well-insulated with high performance and practicable transport (given the size) apprciable well.
though somewhat EXAGRES, rich bass and low frequencies trs. sail in the small but well Retailer dernire octave above 800Hz.

! lack srieux low mdium (which for me is between 160Hz and 600Hz): Despite the low trs Submitted, the sound is small stick.

not satisfied for the home studio monitoring because of the hollow at the bottom mdium but VERY happy for the monitoring of performance. the pfl distinctly understood his thanks trs insulation, its high efficiency and can be also thanks the same trough. easily transported in its hard case, perfect for that use.

trs happy to live.

I went to the music store to check out some headphones, (before I decided to purchase the Sennheiser HD 380’s) I brought an mp3 player with different types of music all sampled at 320kbs - high quality stuff - and spent 90 minutes listening to the following headphones.

Here's how it went in listening order. Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80 - I went in thinking that I was going to walk out with these headphones based on what I had read, and they did sound good but they were first up so I had no frame of reference. Sennheiser HD 380 PRO - WOW, these beat the Beyer's hands down though I did go back and forth between the two of them with several types of music. Audio Technica ATH-M50 - Nice form factor and the critics love'em, however, to me they sounded cheap: lacked clarity, accurate tonal timbre, and soundstage. I did come back to them again but was reminded of their inferior sound quality each time. AKG K240 Studio - These are nice and a real bargain. Had I not needed sound isolating headphones I may have purchased these and saved a hundred bucks. These were number two in sound quality for me. Sennheiser HD 25-1 II - Very nice. These clamp on the ear and offer outstanding sound isolation but they don't have the soundstage of the HD 380s. I think they're intended primarily for session recording, and for that they would be very good. KRK KNS-8400 Studio Don't bother, even worse than the ATH-M50s. honorable mention: on my way out of the store I noticed the Shure SRH840 which are supposed to be good, but I didn't listen to them and I'm so happy with the Sennheisers I'm not worried about. Here are some great features: The Sennheisers fold flat and come with a great case. They also have a replaceable cable that plugs into the phones with standard 3.5mm jack.

Notices hot! I purchased this headset yesterday.
I still spent a dozen hours to work with. And I'm thrilled! The sound is very good, I'm not sound engineer, so I can not explain very pro, but anyway I used it for different things and I was always pleasantly surprised.
Whether for listening to music, recording tracks clear or hyper thrash guitars, making computer music, etc.. Is nickel.

Well, the sound is good, of course, headphones are a bit expensive (a little over 100 €). But one great thing is comfort. One can spend hours with his ears open, you do not tire, we did not have his head crushed. Insulation is good, but it could be even better for my taste. (Well, I still took some time before I realized that my phone - which is located 20cm from my ears - ringing ^ ^)

The large class, a carrying case is provided. At the end of the cable (spiral), the adapter jack is screwed. Super convenient, but be careful not to lose.

I am really very happy with this model, which I recommend!
Sorry I can not provide more technical advice, words fail me, but you can try in any good music shop.

Acquired two weeks ago and used it for everyday listening music pure and Monitoring.
This is the Sennheiser, it's good material, there is nothing to say.
Sound (this is important):
It's very good ... but I stay on my end regarding transparency in the whole area medium. To believe that fashion has gone in recent years to produce only instruments that make serious, serious .. the serious, to the detriment of the rest. For sure the seat and the serious exploration are excellent: control, extension, articulation is very good! when in addition we know that a headphone is closed! Fortunately it does not clog the medium by swelling abusive. but it is as if you had tied the headphone with 2 to 3 dB over flat to 80Hz and then after. One might think that the acute or upper midrange are not enough now! but it should be! they are just 2 to 3 dB below although linear, no frills. No audible distortion to a level where I work (I preserve my heritage auditory). The HD 25 II seemed much more balanced even if it produces less severe and is certainly less comfortable!
Otherwise perfect: very comfortable, well finished, an extra cover, an impedance or too low or too high = it works well on any device (though it works much better with a source capable of delivering a small current) .
In summary, the DJ will be delighted. AC hits bottom. The Monitoring Seems a bit difficult for me but it's personal. To get the real tone of the instrument registered, I still prefer my 325i GRADO ... But tastes and colors!
Excellent value for money in absolute. it's just a matter of response needed.
As usual! Do not buy without listening!

Hello,
I use this headphone since the end of December 2009.
I wanted a headphone "DJ" to insulate the outside, one side for comfort that this implies in transport (especially the plane ...) and another side of a point professionally for what are called transcripts.
I tried several headphones including a 1000 Grado something with "cheeks" in wood, its beautiful, but without isolation with the outside. I tried the "AKG", the "BEYER", the "Sony", but he who convinced me most was the "HD 280 pro.
Not being a pro, I can only given notice that very personal. I would not say that other headphones are not as good, I can only say that I love and appreciate the sound of "HD 280 pro" ...
No, there is no mistake, I will now criticize the "HD 380 Pro. I had the opportunity, PARIS, try both SENNHEISER headsets and thus to compare. I found the "280" very good throughout, with perhaps a small tendency to "inflate" the low frequencies. When I had the "380" on the ears, I immediately knew it was there that I'll buy that. The mediums were more transparent, clearer voice and more treble shimmer. All this gives the impression that low frequencies have been ignored, but after three quarter-hour test, it was clear he was not. The dynamic is at the top (do not put the volume too high on the output of the amplifier).
The comfort is maximized. In winter, you will not have cold ears.
An important point: I have a small head, and is one of the few headphones (with the "280") is enough for me without moving her head.

The value for money is good.

I remake that choice without hesitation.
