Sennheiser HD 300 Pro Wired Over Ear Headphones

These circumaural/over the ear headphones have a flat sound perfect for studio use. Designed around the venerable Sennheiser HD 250 Pro Linear monitors these are a set of headphones recommended for studio use or critical sound analysis only. Sound is far easier on the ears than the A-T M40x/M50x with comfort level that is head and shoulders above that experienced with the A-Ts. The A-T M70x are excellent monitors but I would prefer the Sennheisers over them any day.Sound - 5 stars, relatively flat, bland, but revealing. They take time to open up, a good 24-48 hours of use. These are not bright nor do they have boosted bass like the A-T monitors. They are easy on the ears both sound and comfort wise and makes me understand why Sennheiser pro monitors are one of the most popular with professionals.Construction - 4 stars, plastic all around but very good quality plastic. Not a single creak or noise during use. These are made in Ireland, like many of Sennheiser's high end headphone products including the HD 600/650 and initial batches of 660s which are now made in Romania. The top end HD 700/800/800s/820 are made in Germany.You get a detachable (with a torx screw driver) straight cable which is only about 1.5 m (approx. 5 ft long) and this I believe is a key short coming compared to the A-T M pro monitor range which come with 2-3 cables depending on the model.Comfort - 5 stars, very comfortable ear pads that accommodate even large ears. These are such a pleasure to use compared to most A-Ts.Sennheiser's after sales support is second to none, having experienced it for myself over the 11+ years that I have owned the HD 650 and subsequently several other Sennheiser products. This makes recommending the HD 300 Pro very easy. Highly recommended. If you want a less expensive monitor consider the very good VFM HD 280 Pros which have comparatively brighter sound and are aimed squarely at the A-T M40/M50x.

I have been using HD 300 Pro for over a month now and I love these headphones. They have a great flat EQ. Audio sound true to the original mixes. Amazing Headphones, provides a great sense of sound staging.Low end seems to drop out a little below 50hz when using with a phone. But overall a very well balanced EQ. Work great on a higher volume.They’re very comfortable too. Can work with them for long hours.The limitation in my pov is that to detach the cable you need a torx head screwdriver.Cable isn’t coiled throughout but has small 3-4 coils.The box in which these came was broken.@amazonThere’s passive noise cancellation on these which is decent enough for you to record vocals.Overall, really good studio headphones, which is great for monitoring and mixing too.

I bought this as a replacement to my Sennheiser HD380 pro which started sounding weird all of a sudden (after 4 years of use).Very happy with the sound and comfort. But the cable is annoyingly short in my opinion. Unless the interface or headphone amp that you plug these into is right next to you, you'll need an extension cable.

Product is extremely good.

A wonderful professional headphone. Nice noise isolation, nice headroom for all kinds of insruments. Sennheiser has lived up to its customer's expectations as always.

The sound quality was very good but felt heavy on the head and voice cancellation OK. Overall very good.
