Applications:
For hip-hop, rock fans and urban music enthusiasts, the Sennheiser HD228 headphones are sweet replacement cans for your iPod/ iPhone, iPad, MP3 device, portable DVD player, or laptop computer without any 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 degrees for flat storage in drawer or briefcase, and also 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.

Recommend Product: No
Cons: Poor value, poor sound, poor quality
Headroom is a great company and I would gladly buy other products from them. This is my first disappointing purchase after a string of good experiences.
