Sennheiser HD 300 Around-Ear Lightweight Foldable Headphones - Black

Product Information

While the headband cushions and ear pads feel rather soft and comfy at first, none of our testers found them a suitable option for extended mixing sessions, and that comes as no surprise, given how strong the clamping force is. They are touted to be one of the best that Sennheiser has to offer, with their offerings capping out with the PROtect variant of the same headphones that, according to the brand, come equipped with ActiveGard, which ensures that your ears are protected if the Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) levels are above 110 dB. And, if that happens over a prolonged period of time, people tend to experience fatigue with some extreme cases ending with headaches as well. Sennhesier say that the ‘phones feature ‘completely field replaceable’ components— which is excellent news as, once you find your ‘perfect’ pair of headphones, they’re likely to live with you for a long time!

It seems that the headband is the same unit used on HD 280 Pro, but the cushion is upgraded with slowly rebounding foam and a nicer synthetic leather cover. I would listen to tracks at around 30 per cent volume in the office, and my colleagues would actually need to tap me on my shoulders to get my attention. To make this possible, we have pushed its acoustic properties to the boundaries of physics and recalculated them. They’ve many headphones available, but we need to look for only the best Sennheiser studio headphones today.

The Ath m50x does a good job in delivering the flat sound but lacks a bit in bass and high end curve is a bit too steep.

We have no control over, and are not responsible for, the privacy policies and practices of third parties. All models (except HD 25) are supplied with oxygen-free copper cables as standard, steel cables available for certain models as accessories. The Sennheiser is the best headphones brand for music production and audiophile, as well as other types of headphones. It’s a premium open-back headphone with a detachable OFC copper cable to ensure long-lasting for your investment. While the cable of the 300-pro is replaceable, unfortunately Sennheiser does not make a fully coiled cable for this headphone.The HD 300 PRO headphones from Sennheiser continue the company’s tradition of producing high-quality headphones for studio, live or broadcasting use. Sennhesier engineers must be taking a lot of Ritalin lately because they’ve just released a freqload of affordable, great quality in-ear and over-ear headphones. Although, once I got used to the rather hollow sound of these headphones, I actually loved the way they sounded.

The shape of the curve follows the “smiley face” pattern with boosts in bass and highs, but since these boosts are conservative, and throughout the spectrum there are only two abrupt dips, the coloring remains tame and the sound is relatively balanced. I actually prefer these headphones to my go-to HD 650 and Beyer Dynamic DT990, as the suppression of ambient sounds allows me to focus in on the audio.

Regarding adaptiveness, the bass response will vary a bit from listener to listener, but in most cases, it should stay between +/- 3dB. They have a little bit of coil to minimise contact noises, and for the rest it's just a normal cable of adequate lenght.
