Good headphones but comfort leaves a lot to be desired
I bought these headphones to use on my daily commute and I can safely say I'm satisfied with my purchase. These are a good pair of headphones when on the go as they have a compact design, though they sacrifice sacrifice comfort to achieve this.
The good:
- Clear highs and mids
- Sturdy and compact build (folding earcups are superb)
- Long battery life (2 weeks going strong)
The adequate:
- Active noise cancelling does the job but don't expect it to silence everything, it struggles with lows
- Earcups are somewhat small but fit regular size ears, YMMV
The bad:
- Disappointing low frequency response
- Headband has very little cushioning and will become uncomfortable after about 2 hours of use
I wouldn't consider myself very picky so I'm happy to put up with some discomfort right at the end of my trip (only takes a second to adjust and they're fine for another hour or two). If you're a bass head then look elsewhere, otherwise you'll be right.
Oh and I'll be honest I couldn't really tell that these were refurbished, they're in pretty much factory new condition bar some very very minor marks on the ends of the headband at the Sennheiser logo.
