Review: Just adding my Five Stars - Well, I'd say the glowing reviews on here say it all, and they do, but, even so, I just wanted to add my top ratings for these AWESOME headphones! Highlights: GREAT sound, portable design, noise blocking, GREAT sound, and did I mention, GREAT sound??? :) I have a set of Bose AE2's, nothing spectacular in the Bose line up, although Bose would say otherwise. They are more pricey than these and carry the supposedly famed Bose name, but, since first receiving them, I was disappointed in them -- not to mention that one side began cutting out after about a dozen uses. Even when working, the sound stage seemed narrow and flat, and, overall, they were just a let down. I mean, I know they're not top of the line Bose, but I expected even entry level Bose to be more amazing than a set of over the ears you can pick up at the drug store for twenty bucks. Since I was SUPER impressed with some ear bud style ones from Sennheiser, I decided to go with the Sennheiser name once again, especially after reading the glowing reviews for these, here and elsewhere, saying that, like the famed Sony MDR 7506's, these are in the class of "the ones to have" as nearly an industry standard, in terms of headphones. What swayed me away from the Sony's was some concern that they can be hit or miss a bit in quality, where these, all around, just have very solid reviews anywhere you look, really. On a side note, the earbud Sennheisers I have are the MX580's (which even sound better than the Bose AE2's, I might add!). Sadly, the MX580's are now discontinued, which is a shame since they are about the only ones of reliable high quality that had the "old style" ear bud which I highly prefer over the "jam these in your ears" type that everyone sells now. Luckily I found a vendor with a few left, and ordered a spare set, which I'll save in case mine ever die. Yes, I like them that much! :) Anyway, so, Sennheiser certainly impressed me with their earbuds, so it seemed logical to give them a try for a set of "cans" as I see them referred to, meaning, for me as a layman, the big kind that go over your ears. :) I did have a specific wishlist I was looking for: * Great sound quality, without selling my car. * Noise blocking, without sacrificing sound quality, which is the problem with "noise cancelling" headphones -- meaning I needed headphones that could accomplish blocking out noise through design, rather than through electronic means (something that I didn't find very successful anyway in "noise cancelling" headphones owned previously). * Comfort, for long hours of listening bliss. * A solid quantity of reviews for reliability and performance, for a product that will last. * A great "listening" experience. I know sound quality is pretty subjective, because people all prefer different things, but I didn't want something leaning heavy on bass, which results in muddled tones, or something flat or "tinny" sounding. I wanted a wide, deep sound stage, on which any range of music can be enjoyed, even in a noisier environment or while traveling. Do these fill the bill? YES, on ALL counts! They FAR exceed the AE2's and, while seeming a bit of a large fit at first, coming from the smaller Bose, I immediately understood the closed back, fully over ear construction -- these block out noise GREAT! Much more effective than any "noise cancelling" ones I've tried in the past. My first thought was to go with Sennheiser's very well reviewed HD 280 Pro's, but I'm glad I saw these, which were reviewed to be superior in comfort and sound, over the 280's. Since folks loved the 280's, it seemed a no brainer to get the improved version of those, in the 380's and, while I can't compare the two, I can say these are an absolute joy to use. Although seeming heavier (if just by visual bulk) than the Bose, they fit "lighter" and are more comfortable. The sound stage is even better than I'd hoped, and connecting them with a NuForce MMP (headphone amp) just makes them rock that much more, although they are fine without it -- it's just even better with the amp, a cool item to have that I discovered in researching the purchase of these. I have absolutely nothing negative to say -- it is a bigger headphone, with the thicker style "curled cord," so you may feel a little "retro" but I'm not wearing these to impress others with a brand or a "hip" look (although they look great anyway), I'm using them to get what they provide, which is amazing sound in an affordable package. They are also much more portable than the Bose, coming with an awesome hard shell case, in which the headphones fold flat and, with the cord, fit very nicely and are well protected for travel. A slim design case, it takes up about as much space as a hardback book. The cord is also replaceable, if it ever wears out, and the ear pads are replaceable as well. Cap that off with a two year warranty, and, for this price, it's certainly an impressive package that really delivers. I'm no sound expert, like some reviewers who really know their audio, but I do love my music, and if you're looking for something affordable, portable, noise-blocking, without sound bleed for those around you, and that sound amazing, then look no further than the Sennheiser HD 380 Pro's! I highly recommend!!!!
Review: After hours and hours of research, I found my perfect headphone. - Let me start off by saying that I am not an audiophile, but someone who wanted a high quality pair of headphones without spending a fortune. Now I had been looking on the internet relentlessly trying to find the ideal set of headphones, by going through desertcart reviews, reviews on various websites, posts on head-fi.org (which I definitely recommend, as they had audiophiles FAR more knowledgeable than me) and was looking for a pair of closed headphones, that had a fantastic sound for almost any kind of music, had a detachable cable, were well built enough that I wouldn't have to worry about buying a new set of headphones for at least 5 years, didn't make my ears painful/tender after an hour or so, and had an impedance low enough that I could I use them well with my Nexus 5. Now I had it boiled down to 2 different headphones after all of my research, the Sennheiser HD 380 Pro's and the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X's. I can't testify on the M50X's because I didn't buy them (but I know the internet has a massive hard on for the M50 line), but I went with the Sennheisers because I had previously owned the Audio-Technica ATH-M30's, and while they were very clear sounding, they were remarkably quiet, the long cable was a royal pain in the ass and after an hour or so, I couldn't use them because my ears hurt tremendously using them, all of these factors made me less than willing to go back to Audio-Technica. In comes the Sennheiser HD 380 Pro and it sounds like a dream come true, it was almost 50 dollars cheaper than the M50X's and audiophiles swore that I would appreciate the better sound and build quality. So I made the plunge and bought them, and as soon as they arrived I put them through a variety of different music types to determine if they lived up to the hype that I was hearing (I will post the test music I used at the end of this review) and I will tell you these headphones are absolutely PHENOMENAL to listen to whatever genre I threw at them, I was hearing details in background instruments that I just couldn't hear on my earbuds, highs sounded crisp and detailed and female vocalists came to life, mids were absolutely fantastic with male vocalists sounding just as fantastic as the girls, and for bass testing I went for pounding electronica and rap, real simple and these headphones may not be a basshead's dream, but the bass sounded perfectly balanced for me and more than managed to rock my skull. And they managed to get to a volume level that I was happy with, and could even go WAY beyond that if I so chose. One thing I did not expect, these things block at sound surprisingly well, if I have music playing while I walk, I won't be able to hear a car 15 yards away from me, but if a noise is loud enough, you will hear it. As far as comfort goes, these are an absolute dream to wear I think because the earpads go around my giant ears and sit with a very nice cushiony earpad to sit on your skull, I've worn these for over 5 hours at a time and they've never bothered me once, I will admit, the folding mechanism was a little strange to me at first with its flat fold and when I opened them up for the first time, I wondered how I would get them on my head, because they don't come together like most other headphones do (they'll get kinda close to each other, but don't try and force them together), but they actually work quite nicely and have a good fit on my noggin. The case in comes in is a very nice hard case that sure as hell beat the leather drawbag I saw most other headphones in this price range come with (it doesn't fit the coiled cable particularly well inside, but I was able to make it work). Overall, an A+ to Sennheiser on the build quality of these headphones. My one major drawback however is the coiled cable, while it is very well built and fits into the HD 380 Pro's nicely, Sennheiser made it a 2.5mm input and made the cable fits in with a very proprietary lock and I didn't find it very pleasant for mobile use because it's heavy and it swings around a lot while I move. However after looking at a forum post on head-fi, I found that the cable from the Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones fits into the HD 380 Pro's, so I ordered it from their parts store (it was only like 11 bucks with shipping and taxes), and while it's a task to fit them all the way inside the headphones, it gives me a lighter, straight cable that works perfectly for mobile use and I use the coiled cable when I'm on my PC. Overall, these are a fantastic set of headphones and they were good enough for me to make my first desertcart review and if you are in the 100 dollar headphone range, I thoroughly encourage you to spend the extra money and get the HD 380 Pro's, you won't regret it! Test music I used: Concerning Hobbits - The Lord Of The Rings Soundtrack Air On The G String - Johann Sebastian Bach I Dreamed A Dream - Christina Grimmie Cover Nights - Ellie Goulding Top Of The World - Karen Carpenter Bonfire - Knife Party Ghost's n Stuff - Deadmau5 Freaks And Geeks - Childish Gambino Gangster's Paradise - Coolio No. 5 - Hollywood Undead Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock n Roll) - AC/DC Walk This Way - Aerosmith Runnin With The Devil - Van Halen Mirrors - Justin Timberlake Fly Me To The Moon - Frank Sinatra

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality of build, and good sound
*by J***A on January 1, 2014*

I am not an audio professional. I didn't purchase these for mixing. I mainly purchased them for listing to music in the office. My goal was to find a pair of headphones that sounded good to very good (for a non professional), that were comfortable (with glasses) and blocked out all of the office chatter. I read over dozens of reviews on headphones from $80 to $300. After reading all of these review I decide on these headphones. In my initial use I was somewhat disappointed. Many of the reviews for Sennheiser headphones seemed to say that you couldn't hear anything with these on. I was at home when I put them on. One of my kids came in and I didn't have any problem hearing them talking with the headphones on (no music on). Give all that I read I was expecting to either not be able to hear them at all, or have it very muffled. Part of the problem is I had a pair of Sony x10 headphones and I was expecting the Sennheisers to be MUCH better. I then did a bunch of side by side comparison between the two. I finally determined that the Sennheisers were better at blocking the sound, but only a little better. On the other hand after all of the review I read and the research I did I have now concluded that this is about the best sound isolation I am going to get without paying a LOT more money than I want to. The Sennheiser headphones are the only pair that actually states the amount of isolation they produce. The 280s have over a thousand reviews. Almost half of the review are positive about the noise reduction of the headphones. Given that the 380s are one up and rated at the same amount of isolation I figure they are about as good as I am going to get. The next test I did was with my kids stereo playing. I had them playing it at a moderately high level. It was loud enough that you would have to raise your voice to having a conversation, but not at party level. At that level I tried both the Sonys and the Sennheisers. With both pairs I was able to listen to my music at a medium-low level and enjoyable hear my music. I could still hear the kids music but it was muffled enough to not be an issue. If I turned up my music to more of a medium level I couldn't hear the kids' music at all. As I said both headphones worked for this test. I think the the Sennheisers were a bit better. What finally sold me on the Sennheisers was the quality of build, comfort and ease of use. The Sonys are nice headphones but the Sennheisers seem quite a bit heavier duty. They just feel really solid. The Sony's don't seem cheap, but the Sennheiser feel more sturdy. The Sennheiser, for me, seemed more comfortable. Now I should point out I am comparing a pair of over ear (the Sennheiser) headphones to a pair of on ear headphones and I prefer over ear. The Sony headphones were more comfortable at first. They are almost pillow soft, but after having them on even for 10 or 15 minutes they start to hurt my ears. The Sennheisers are not pillow soft, in fact they feel rather tight. But they don't change even after over an hour of listening they still seem about the same. Finally was the ease of use. I know that sounds like an odd thing to speak of in respect to headphones, but the Sennheisers are easier to use. By that I am referring to putting them on. The Sonys you put them on and then have to adjust them. You need to kind of get them positioned so that they sit on your ears correctly. The Sennheiser you just plop on. They have a very large opening, so there is no need to position them. The build quilt also comes in here. The Sennheisers seems solid, so I have no problem grabbing them and putting them on. The Sonys seems a bit more fragile, so I tend to be "careful" when I am using them. In concluding I want to say that the Sonys do sound great and I actually liked the sound of the Sonys a bit better. But over all the Sennheisers were more of what I needed.
