Sennheiser EH2200 Professional HiFi Studio Headphones

Product Review

Sennheiser's Evolution EH2200 is a stereo headphone that can be connected to both hi-fi systems and personal stereos (CDs, DATs, DCCs). Ideal for DJ monitoring and used by musicians and sound engineers, the EH2200 creates superb sound reproduction with powerful bass, while its closed, circumaural design protects against ambient noise.

A part of Sennheiser's Evolution series, the EH2200 employs Duofol technology that fuses two diaphragm materials to virtually eliminate standing waves in the capsule. It delivers a clear, highly detailed sound with excellent bass response. Inside, neodymium transducer magnets enable a superfast transient response and commanding dynamic range.

Weighing just a third of a pound, the EH2200 is constructed for comfort during extended use. Its award-winning ergonomic design features a closed-ear, padded, open-back format. Modular, replaceable parts also support long-term use. Sennheiser includes a detachable 10-foot single-sided, Kevlar-reinforced, OFC (oxygen-free copper) cable with a 0.125-inch minijack and a 0.25-inch adapter.

The Sennheiser EH2200 headphone combines an exceptional audio experience with quality construction that makes for an outstanding value. Sennheiser backs the EH2200 with a two-year parts and labor warranty.

I bought these to replace my 8-year-old Sony MDR-V600 headphones. After listening to the Sennheiser EH2200 headphones for a few days, I'd say they are a more-than-adequate replacement, and for about half the price.The EH2200's have very good sound. Saying they have excellent bass response is an understatement. If you like rap, you'll be in for a VERY pleasant surprise--you'll hear low notes you've never heard before. However, these headphones do not sound quite as detailed as they could, perhaps because they seem to fall off slightly on the high-end. Cymbals in particular tend to get lost. Turning up the "treble" control on your stereo very slightly or boosting frequencies above 10KHz a few decibels with an equalizer will help flatten the response. That's not to say they sound bad, they just sound a bit better with more treble.Although I would classify them as slightly "dull" rather than "bright," this is perhaps to their advantage, as you will find...Read more

Very good sound for a good price, April 18, 2001

I was very interested in trying a pair of Sennheiser headphones and this week, they had this pair for about 46% off, which is an excellent value.Look & Feel: I like the feel a little bit more than the overall look. These headphones are extremely light (the whole package - box and all - apparently only weighed in at about 2 pounds. When wearing them, they don't feel like much at all - I practically don't feel like I'm wearing anything. The look is sleek, but rather subdued - not extremely fancy at first glance.Movies: I hooked these up to my receiver and really - right out of the box - tried to give them a very tremendous workout. I grabbed "Twister" and "U-571", two movies (especially "U-571") that both offer very, very heavy low bass. I was instantly stunned by their power while playing "Twister". The low-end was simply amazing. The headphones were vibrating on my head, but they still provided very tight, very powerful bass. I took...Read more

For ..., I think these are an excellent value- a good way for non-audiophiles to upgrade to better phones.The sound is crisp and clear, and compares very well to more expensive phones I've heard in stores. Bass response is good, so much so that I don't use the Megabass as much on my portable.Speaking of portables, these will work adequately with a portable player (max volume just a tad bit low), unlike many premium headphones. Of course, you will get best results playing these with a regular stereo.They are very comfortable and lightweight, so you don't notice them too much. The light weight also helps a little in the portability factor.One note- Headphones sound a lot better after you break them in for at least a few hours. This one is no different-
