The Sennheiser HD228 is a sealed ear-pad type headphone, with good sound. Rich and warm, these cans deliver smooth sound and a laid back treble --- nice for getting rid of any harshness in your recordings. They are also very efficient and makes for a great upgrade can for your portable music player. The HD228 provides moderate isolation from outside noise; if very good isolation is a requirement, full sized sealed headphones should be investigated.

Frequency Response for the Sennheiser HD 228

For the hip-hop and urban music enthusiast, the Sennheiser HD228 headphones are a good replacement cans for your iPod, iPhone, Mp3 device, DVD player, or laptop computer without heavy wallet lifting required. Characterized by a full punchy bass response alongside a smooth and laid back upper mid-range & highs, this is a good can for bass lovers who don't want any harshness in their tunes.

Sennheiser's newly-engineered lightweight, flexible headband construction is another  design plus that allows anyone to wear this mobile-oriented headphone comfortably for hours at a time without worries of an overly-tight clamping force getting in the way of your musical enjoyment. The small earpieces rotate 90 deg for flat storage in drawer or briefcase, and make these headphones comfortable just dangling around your neck.

The HD228 is offered in a stylish dark gloss black with chrome-flashing look that is slick but not overstated so it doesn't attract too much undue attention. The HD228's small supra-aural sealed-back [aka 'closed'] earpads typically will rest gently on the outer part of the earlobes and deliver effective ambient noise attenuation of around minus -8dB ~ -10dB on average. The earpads will rotate flat for ease of transit or storage. The HD228's singled-sided cable exits from the left earcup and terminates to a mini-plug 3.5mm (1/8") jack about 4ft later. However, NO full-size 1/4" adapter is included in the package. A 2-year product warranty remains standard with all Sennheiser headphones.

Great Office Headphones
Posted by be_thermal from Belgrade, MT on 2010-07-20

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Lightweight, good base response at low volumes, smooth highs

These are great for the office environment where-in you may want to be able to monitor the "goings on" in the office while enjoying quality personal music. I've worn other light headsets that do the same however loose sound clarity and balance at lower volumes. The pads are also comfortable on my ears, and the band allows for my large head.

Dissapointed
Posted by JT1320 from Vancouver, BC on 2010-02-27

Recommend Product: No
Cons: Small and not for big melon heads, poor sound quality

I was expecting more from a brand like Sennheiser. The main reason I returned this was because these barely fit on my head. It sounded very quiet and dull. I had to turn up the volume and even then, the sound was still muffled. The PX 200s would be a better choice if you want sound quality.

Nice headphones, but better options from Sennheiser
Posted by A HeadRoom Fan from washington, dc on 2010-02-04

Recommend Product: No

A good headphone that filled an important niche when they came out (fairly inexpensive, closed portable), but they have lately been eclipsed in that category by Sennheiser's own PX 200-II. The HD 228 can sound dark and muddy, but improve in those respects if placed fairly far back on the ears. In any event, it's probably not worth writing too much about their sound, given that the PX 200-II is now available. The latter cost about the same, sound better, are less finicky about placement, have greater isolation, fit tighter on the head, and are more portable. The only reason I can see to get these instead is if you are seeking a slightly more blingy look and more bass.
