Sennheiser Headphones Ear Cups

My first pair of Sennheiser Headphones and I REALLY like them. Sound is excellent and the around the ear style cups close outside sound VERY well.

The ear cups of my old Senal SMH -Series headphones were cracking and flaking, so I had to wipe the flecks of the old phones off my face after I used them. I got the deluxe velour ear pads and in a couple of minutes I replaced the old cushions. And by the way, Auray has a video that shows you the right way to do it. They're comfortable and don't get hot. Easy to install. Make sure your headphones have 1/6/40 mm drivers. Larger than that, and I don't think they'll fit. If you're using Sony Sony MDR-7506 in the studio and your talent is complaining that they're not comfortable after an hour or two, swap out the ear pads with these and the complaints will stop. A great buy for $14.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Tune 520BT headphones are a stunning value in their class. They are an on-ear wireless model, with bluetooth connectivity, long battery life, and are phenominally portable. I am not usually a fan of on-ear vs my preferred over-the-ear, but the cups are very comfortable and cushy, and they do not squeeze the ears too tightly, yet still feel very secure. I even dig how clearly marked the left/right cups are, and the control buttons are placed smartly and feel well-made. Pairing is super simple, and you can manage them by downloading the JBL app to your phone. The app is intuitive, and allows you to customize your EQ, or select a preset, each of which is set well to bring out the best in the headphone's sound. There is also a setting for video playback that helps fine tune performance, and it works very well. I have not noticed any latency ever with these. There are expanded bass functionalities, and they definitely boom. As a personal preference, I generally do not go for heavy bass, preferring a more balanced, rounded, full sound, which these provide! Clarity and detail also recieve unexpectedly high marks; they are almost in the same class as my top-shelf, over-the-ears set that are much, much more expensive. While I do miss having noise cancellation for air travel, the value and quality here make me forget about that! I am finding these are perfect on-the-go headphones that I keep with my laptop for work. They fold very well, and are super slim, making them easy to slip in and out of my messenger bag. They feel well-constructed and durable. Long story short, these are my new workhorse headphones. Intuitive, quality, reliable, and comfortable. Oh- and they look stylish too!

I'm a software/electronics engineer, and dabbles in media as a hobby, so not exactly the target market. I really enjoy my MDR-7506 headphones and wear them for a few hours on any given work day. My main use for them is listening to higher bitrate web radio, also for skype, etc. Great performance, especially for the price! Sound is very clear, down to quite a low frequency, though I'm not really an audiophile or well versed in comparable headphones. If anything, I'd say the sound is a little bit clinical, exactly what monitors are meant for. Nice isolation; I don't have to use much volume at all to completely tune out nearby conversations in an office setting. Construction is solid, nice quality cable and connector seems like they'll hold up well. Ear pads and pressure are comfortable and effective. Ear cups flip around easily, to the point that it took a day or two for me to get used to taking the headphones off without cups flipping around. The blue stickers on the ear cups look a bit dorky IMHO, but they're easy to peel off.

I purchased these headphones for long listening sessions, the product first arrived defective, no audio in one side, I returned them and received new ones at no extra cost in great working condition. I was surprised how this was offered as an all in one set ( case, replaceable ear cups, headphones).The quality of the headphones is plastic and does not bother me because the sound quality and comfort from the new ear cups make it good for what I want them for. The more you use these headphones the better they sound.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Right out of the box the headphones were half charged and ready to go. From power on to confirmed BT connection was at most 30 seconds. Downloading the JBL app was not required but can be used to fine tune the sound quality of the headphones. I immediately noticed how confortable the ear cups were and the padding on the top of my head. My ears fit perfectly inside the ear cups which made for a very comfortable fit. The on off was easy to find with the headphones on and a push of the button turns them on and pairs right away. Push and hold the button and you enter BT pairing mode. Theres nothing difficult about using the track forward and volume buttons. The sounds has really good bass, mids, and highs. If you are an audiophile, you will enjoy these. These surpass any other headphones I've owned...they are that good! Charging the 720s is simple. I use these hours on end at the Gym and i forget I have them on.

I could immediately tell the difference in sound. I had been using a cheap pair of headphones. These sound better and are more comfortable too. The ear cups don't cause any discomfort when I'm wearing them with my glasses.

I currently own several pairs of headphones (2 Sennheiser, 2 AKG, 1 Grado) and that doesn't include in-ear/earbuds. The ATH-M50x's are my favorite! Great sound, comfortable & easy to drive. I like that they come with 3 different cable lengths. They are over ear, meaning a little bigger, but that helps seal out external sounds. Highly recommended!

I was searching for NC over ear headphones because I work in noisy environment. Was choosing between XM4 and Sennheiser PXC 550 II...Sony sounds better than any other headphones, and they are loud. But Sennheiser felt a bit more comfortable but not loud enough and sound is just not what it should be. I just wish Sony wouldnt make touch control, physical buttons would be much better.

Unlike other ear pads that I was considering for my Sennheiser HD 280 Headphones, these Auray ear pads were fairly easy to install since the material that attaches to the headphone is a little stretchy. The stock ear pads from Sennheiser are probably more difficult to install since they are less stretchy. The leather seems to be of good quality and feels good. The level of sound isolation is at least as good as the original ear pads.
