Title: No umph in the bass; Very tight fit; heavy, awkward cord
Review: I've been comparing these headphones with a pair of $20 Sony MDR-V150 headphones I've had for years.Compared to the Sonys, the Sennheisers have very little umph in the bass. When the music swells in a loud place, the bass gets completely buried under the mid range, so you lose the roots of your chords. The Sonys have a much richer, warmer bass that never gets buried.Additionally, the Sennheisers are quite tight on my head, and I have a small head! They squeeze the sides of my face quite a lot, so they aren't particularly comfortable for wearing all day.Finally, they have a very heavy, stiff, bulky cord. I have to wrap it around my chair arm to keep it from flopping awkwardly. When it flops, or when it stiffly rubs against my shoulder or shirt collar, I can hear it loudly in my ear, so if I'm listening, I have to keep the cord still.Overall, not a good purchase. I like my $20 Sonys better.
