Frequency Response for the Sennheiser HD 212 Pro

In years past, finding a halfway decent-sounding, sealed-back, portable/mobile-use headphone was rather difficult. We now find ourselves in the midst of an almost over-abundance of them, including the Sennheiser HD 212 Pro. These headphones seem to strike an acceptable compromise between fair price, good sound, quality build, wearing comfort, and ambient noise isolation factor. Though they have a LOT of bass, their overall musical presentation is warm and tonally smooth with a well-balanced, present midrange. The upper highs do tend to be a bit recessed, however, which is quite typical for sealed headphones at the lower pricepoints. Still, a pretty good, ergonomically lightweight, portable closed-back headphone at a nice and reasonable price.

The HD 212 Pro use a sealed [closed-back], almost-circumaural mid-sized earcup design. They have circular pleather-padded earcups that nearly surround the ears, but are not quite large enough to prevent the flat part of the earpads from resting gently against the ouside edge of the earlobes. The result is a set of headphones that have the lightweight and small ergonomics of a supra-aural design, but retain the secure fit and comfort of a larger circumaural headphone model.

The HD 212 Pro are a sort of star-trek silver in color and use a VERY lightweight, simple three-piece design consisting of the two earpieces and the headband. The earpieces attach via small, ball-like protrusions that ride in a groove in the headband; the detents in this groove allow you to adjust the fit. This arrangement also allows you to un-snap the earpieces from the headband for ease of storage, although too much disassembly could cause premature wear on the ball joint, permanently ruining the attachment point. The headphone cable is a three meter long "Y"-type, which attaches to the bottom of both earpieces via 2.5mm mono plugs whose jacks fit tightly into a hole in each earpiece--a nice bit of engineering for a fairly difficult widget. At the other end, the cable is terminated with a 1/8" [3.5mm] mini-plug. A 1/8" to 1/4" adapter is included in the package.

Good but not great.
Posted by PScal from Little Rock, AR on 2010-02-08

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Rugged, good bass
Cons: Unfomfortable for extended listening

I have had my HD 212 pro's for about 4 years. These are decent headphones that provide a good entry level into the wallet destroying hobby of audiophilia. I have listened to them from the ipod and from a dedicated headphone amp, and both sound fine. I like how the cord is detachable from the driver cups, and how the driver cups can be easily removed from the headband. This makes them easy to pack and store. The bass is great, and treble is good. Midrange is lacking. I agree with the description on all counts. During extended listening sessions, the pads make my ears a bit sensitive because they rest directly on the ears. For extended listening sessions, go for some around-the-ear headphones.

Budget headphone for the basshead
Posted by derek800 from Macomb, MI on 2010-01-12

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Monster bass, very comfortable, good isolation
Cons: Clamping force on the head if not stretched out

If you are not a bass head, you need not apply. These are definitely not for you if you like nice sparkling highs but don't care about the low's, that's not to say that these don't have good high's. These headphone's are just designed for dj's so they are heavy in the bass department. They may not be neutral in anyway, but they sure are fun to listen to if you like rock or any other music where you want some decent bass.
