I like the closed headphone design because it keeps people from hearing what you are listening to, and keeps you from hearing outside noises. The over-the-ear design is comfortable and easy to wear for an extended period of time. As far as construction goes, they live up to Sennheiser's standards for headphones in this price range. The strap is plastic with swiveling ear pieces and a cable that comes out of the bottom of the left side. from Amazon.com Sennheiser has reputation for producing quality headphones, and this set of headphones certainly certainly sounds good. Good but not great. from Amazon.com These are one of the best closed back headphones i have ever heard,and a steal at this price! Bravo Sennheiser, you've done it again! from Amazon.com I had cheap Philips phones for work and I wanted to get somthing to block out my noisy co-workers. Bose was too expensive for me and I was spectical about active noise isolation. I got the HD228 closed phones and they do deliver on blocking out a good amount of noise by covering your ears, I would say it blocks 20-30% of outside noise. However aside from good base they perform slightly better then my Philips phone. from Amazon.com I'm a college student who listens to a lot of hip hop and rap music so I'm one who really appreciates a lot of deep, punchy bass. Over the few months I have purchased arguably three of the most "bass heavy" Sennheiser headphones including the HD 288, HD 212, and PX 100. HD 228: from Amazon.com I recently bought HD228, I had Senn HD 202 earlier, and so the comparison is based on my earlier experience of HD202. Build : Plastic and looks fragile, But Comfortable to wear for hours. from Amazon.com midrange sound is great and the highs are good but could be better. but i guess that depends where you are using them i have them connected to my laptop most times. sennheiser has always been known to make a great sounding product and they have another winner here, and the price makes it more attractive. Pros- . from Amazon.com Pros: One of the reasons I invested in these headphones was because they're not half as hideous as many of the other choices out there. Cons: I tend to wear headphones because I want to keep my music to myself when I ride public transportation or suffer through a fourteen-hour trans-Pacific flight. These headphones are louder than my speakers when attached to a computer and nearly inaudible when attached to my iPod, though Sennheiser claims to have optimized them for use with iPods. The audio quality is rather disappointing, too, sounding worse than my $7 Sony feather-light headphones. from Newegg.com I bought these headphones after breaking my ear buds, and I am very happy with the decision.
