Which model, and could you be specific about what is so crappy about them?



Pretty sure they are the Sennheiser hd 202 . But mine are gray, not black.

They have no base and sound very muffled. Sure, for 50 $ they are cheapish, but I expected better.

I had 2 pairs of philips before that were even cheaper, but sounded pretty good.


Well, they’re advertised as "cheap DJ headphones".

They have a lot of focus on bass (with having far overpowered bass compared to what high-quality headphones would have), and not much on detail.

Sennheiser produces products for many different categories, if you want accurate sound reproduction, better not buy those marketed for DJs.

These https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-518-Headphones-Black/dp... or https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-4-30i-White-Headphones/... would have been better for that use case.
