Sennheiser HD 449

Sennheiser is a name that is synonymous with audiophile products. They have been viewed as a premium, top-tier (dare we say "The" top-tier?) brand since the beginning of time. Laboratorium Wennebostel's time that is. In 1945, Prof. Dr. Fritz Sennheiser founded Laboratorium Wennebostel's, or "Lab W" in a pleasant half-timbered house. Fritz Sennheiser was born with a gift. When he was 11 years old, he saw an early radio that inspired him to build a crystal radio. Again, he was 11 years old. There was no turning back from that day. The following year after founding "Lab W", Sennheiser produced his microphone. From that point on, it was one success story after the other. Sennheiser's technology continued to improve, and "The Bar" continued to rise. In the mid 60's, Sennheiser released the HD 414, the world's first "Open Headphones". That very day changed the future of headphones forever. That very same headphone, the HD 414, not only helped establish Sennheiser as a leading headphone manufacturer, but it sold over 10 million units. It is the best selling headphone of all time, and Sennheiser had just gotten started.

Great set of over-ear headphones for the price

Quite balanced, not bass-heavy, very clear and pretty immersive soundstage. Plastic is pretty durable, but feels as if it could break easily after some use. Pads seal well, but wrapping is thin and may break after some use. Really good set of over-ear headphones that I recommend for new audiophiles to start with. Is actually pretty good as a starter for comparing headphones with similar frequency responses.

Review

Purchased headphones in a package with amp and carry case
The head have good sound but cannot handle the amp to well
Any music with deep base will distort the headphone to the point where
I fear they will break
Thank you

Great value!

Some of the best headphones I've ever bought. Definitely worth the money. They feel great and sound even better than I hoped. This was my first pair of over the ear headphones and I am very happy with my purchase.

Excellent sound and great value

These replaced the very good HD219's. Listening to classical music and jazz is a pleasure. There's an impressive depth to the sound and a detail.
Considering the price, these are superb. They are light and very comfortable as well and provide pretty good isolation. I wear them at the YMCA while walking on a treadmill and lifting weights and am not bothered by the noise around me.

Great sound

Before buying these, I had 219's for several years and thought that they were very good; but, the 449's are even better. I listen to classical and jazz; and can hear bette depth and detail. They are light and comfortable, even when worn for light exercise at the YMCA. I recommend them without hesitation.

they sound great!

The headphones sound great. The over the ear design is nice, but could be a little bit more comfortable, but is not a complaint. These are worth your time.
