Customers say
Customers praise the headphones’ sound quality, noting they block out other sounds and offer good value for the price. The comfort, build quality, and functionality receive mixed reviews – while some find them comfortable and sturdy, others report they become progressively painful with use and only work properly for a few months. The design and cable length also get mixed feedback, with some liking the design while others find it silly on their head, and many complaining about the cable being too short.

Artisan –
Top build quality.
High build quality, excellent sound although not so much on the highs. Nevertheless very enjoyable.
Hoof Hearted –
Sound okay but rather uncomfortable.
Okay as a backup for my Sony noise cancelling phones. They sound okay but I find the earpads on the Sennheiser HD400S headphones to be inadequate for them to be worn for very long. The pads are thin and flimsy so my ears contact the headphones baffle. I also find that they actually become painful to wear after a while, especially as I need to wear spectacles for VDU work.On the other hand they were cheap, so I guess one gets what one pays for. With the latter point in mind, I will give them 4 stars instead of the 3 that was my first thought.Edit: I forgot to mention when I originally posted this review that, when playing games like ‘Sniper Elite’ on my Playstation, my Sennheiser HD 400S headphones actually reverse the left and right sound channels. A tad confusing, so another reason not to used them for gaming. Okay for music, Spotify and such, I suppose but a bit confusing with games where one needs to be able to hear whatâs lurking around the next turn, wall, or whatever. Hopefully this is just my pair of headphones and not a general flaw with this product.

Simple earphones modestly priced but reproduce a topical quality of Sennheiser sound. Good product.I would suggest that the lead connections are more robust as they appear to be easily damaged it the plus is not carefully inserted or extracted.

Great audio but uncomfortable
Audio quality was very satisfying and noise cancellation works but after a few uses I noticed the top of my head and ears would hurt after only an hour or two of use. So it’s hard to reccomend but it’s probably easier if you don’t wear glasses.

Sound is incredible
I just got my headphones, and I couldn’t be happier! Everything about them is 10 out of 10. The sound quality is good the cable is long enough to listen easily and the forms are so soft for hearing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch audio performance!

2 year review: Don’t bother.
I have owned these headphones for 2 years, in which time they’ve seen fairly light use as my portable set that I take on long walks, train journeys etc. I have probably taken them out roughly 15-20 times at most.I have almost nothing positive to say about these headphones. Even before they broke (which I’ll get to shortly), it was apparent that they were riddled with design flaws and quality issues.As many other reviewers have noted, comfort is poor. People with larger ears have reported that the openings of the ear cups are quite small and can pinch the ears around the edges. I’m fortunate enough to have ears small enough to fit inside the cups, but still found that the foam around them was a little firm and could cause numbness around my ears after fairly brief periods of time. Worse than this is the headband, which has no padding, just a vaguely flexible rubber strip, and feels like it’s cutting into your head after a short while.If you can put up with the discomfort, the plastic of the headphones creaks and groans like an arthritic old man’s knees whenever you move your head, and the thudding of your footsteps is also somehow transferred directly into your ears. This is rather intrusive and difficult to ignore, making them poor for journeys and rubbish when walking. Sound quality is a little flat but generally okay for the price, so you can enjoy this as long as you keep perfectly stationary to avoid having it spoiled by the sound of creaking plastic. It’s also worth mentioning that the cable is very thin and feels like it could snap easily if it ever got caught in anything.Late last year, the joint of the right cup which allows rotation left and right snapped when taking the headphones off, leaving the cup hanging freely. The joint is so small that I’m surprised it didn’t break sooner (I’ve attemped to show the break in the pictures but the size made it difficult. It’s the small, grey looking inner ring inside the hinge). I wrapped it in duct tape as a remedy, which meant that the cup no longer fitted flush with my head. Last week, the same joint broke in the left cup when taking them out of my rucksack. So they have now been unceremoniously binned.I was led to believe that Sennheiser produce headphones of excellent quality at all price points, but these were so poor that I will be avoiding them like ebola for the foreseeable future. They’re rubbish for travelling but I can’t recommend them for use at a desk either due to the discomfort, nasty plastic creaking and the overall flimsiness of the build.Save your money and find an alternative.

A very good sound quality, and whatâs important to me, it gives loud sound so I can work even with lower volume level therefore I can recommend this Sennheiserâs model in 100%, great price/quality indicator.

Herkese merhaba. Kulaklık, Sennheiser’ın giriÅ seviye modellerinden olmasına raÄmen çok beÄeniyorum. YaklaÅık 2 aylık kullanımım ardından sizlere sevdiÄim ve sevmediÄim yanlarını aktarmak isterim.-HD400S’i bankkart 50 liralık puan iadesi ve amazon indirimi ile 350 liraya aldım.-KulaÄınız çok büyük deÄilse pedler kulaÄınızı tamamen sarıyor ve uzun kullanımda herhangi bir aÄrı yaratmıyor. (4-5 saat kesintisiz deneyimlerimde bu Åekilde.)-Jack’ı çıkabiliyor, kulaklık katlanabiliyor ve kulaklıÄı taÅımak üzere kutudan bir bez çıkıyor. (Bez çok kaliteli deÄil, yine de idare eder.)-Combo Jack (Mikrofon ve Kulaklık birlikte olan cihazlarda sorunsuz ses ve mikrofon kullanımı saÄlıyor. (Bilgisayar kasasında kullanacaksanız ekstra kablo almanız lazım. Kutudan dönüÅtürücü kablo çıkmıyor.)-Kablosu çok uzun ve kablo üzerinde mikrofon var. Oyuncu kulaklıÄı olmasa da mikrofonun sesi karÅı tarafa gerçekten çok net gidiyor. Sesli konuÅurken “Bu kulaklık neymiÅ? Mikrofon çok iyiymiÅ…” gibi yorumlar çok aldım.-Malum yaz aylarındayız ve bu kulaklık deri ped olarak geldiÄi için terleme yapıyor fakat bu durum ortama ve kullanıcıya baÄlı diye düÅünüyorum. Oda sıcaklıÄı 30-32 derece olan bir yerde normal seviyede bir ıslaklık yaÅıyorum.-Pedler, sanırım çek-çıkar-yenisini tak Åeklinde deÄil. Ped deÄiÅimi için servise gitmesi gerekebilir.-Ses profiline geldiÄimizde, Bass severleri son derece tatmin edecektir. Tabii tiz ve midler bass kadar baÅarılı deÄil lakin hemen hemen her tarz müzik dinleyicisi olarak “Nereden aldım seni!” gibi bir piÅmanlıÄım olmadı. GiriÅ seviyesi bir kulaklık için pedler ve kafa bandı oldukça rahat, tatmin eden bir ses profiline sahip ve mikrofonunun olup da, bu kadar net ses vermesi de çok iyi gerçekten.-Yukarıda da bahsettiÄim üzere kutu içinden dönüÅtürücü adaptör çıksaydı ve kulaklık taÅıma pedi biraz daha kaliteli olsaydı fevkaladenin fevkinde bir ürün olurdu…Garanti, kutu durumu ve kargo süresi hakkında da yazmak istiyorum. Ben kulaklıÄımı amazon’un kendisinden aldım ve yanlıŠhatırlamıyorsam Saat 22 gibi sipariÅ vermeme raÄmen sipariÅi verdiÄim saatten itibaren 30-35 içinde kargo elime ulaÅtı, kargo firması UPS’ti. Kulaklık tamamen orijinal, bircom etiketleri ve sennheiser orijinallik kontrol qr okuma barkodu var.Ãzet olarak, kulaklıÄın rahatlıÄı, kablosunun uzun olması ve bunun yanında mikrofonu olması,(mikrofonunu aktif Åekilde sesli sohbetlerimde kullanıyorum ve memnunum.) rakiplerine göre çok uzun bir kabloya sahip olması, bass severler için çok iyi olması, bircom garantisi ve sennheiser kalitesinden dolayı çok çok memnunum. Umarım yazdıÄım yorum alacaklara yardımcı olur.

As a new podcaster, I have recently discovered the Sennheiser Over Ear Headphones HD 400S in black, and I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed. As someone who has always been a music listener, I knew I wanted a high-quality audio experience when it came to podcasting, but I wasn’t quite sure where to start. The HD 400S has definitely exceeded my expectations without breaking the bank.First of all, the sound quality of these headphones is exceptional. The HD 400S delivers a balanced and clear sound across the entire frequency spectrum. The bass is punchy, but not overpowering, while the mids and highs are crisp and detailed. As a result, I have been able to enjoy my music and podcasts in a new way, picking up on nuances and details that I had never noticed before.The build quality of the HD 400S is also impressive. The headphones are lightweight, yet feel sturdy and well-constructed. The ear cups are soft and comfortable, and the adjustable headband ensures a snug and secure fit.It is important to note that everyone’s ears are unique, so the level of comfort when wearing the HD 400 headphones for extended periods may vary from person to person. (I can attest to this based on my own personal experience)This is particularly useful for podcasters, as it allows you to switch between using the headphones for monitoring and recording with ease. The headphone’s cable is also durable and tangle-free, which is a nice touch.In terms of design, the HD 400S is sleek and minimalistic, with a black matte finish that looks great. The headphones fold up for easy storage and transport, making them ideal for use on the go.Overall, I would highly recommend the Sennheiser Over Ear Headphones HD 400S in black to anyone in need of high-quality headphones for podcasting or music listening. They offer exceptional sound quality, durability, and comfort at a very reasonable price point.
