Sennheiser HD 630VB Headphone with Variable Bass and Call Control (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

• These headphones are great. Especially at the price. I have a hard time really finding one audio device that I can stick with. Speakers bother my neighbors, earbuds make my ears feel weird after a lot of bass for a while, and HD650\'s are great, but being open, they don\'t like to push as much bass as I wish they did.These headphones are the perfect middle ground for me. They don\'t have the soundstage that the 650\'s do, not even close. Nor are they meant to, being closed. But I prefer the closed design for 90% of my usage. I like to use them for music, movies, and gaming. I used to always say I wish they just made a closed HD650, I think I pretty much got my wish here.Bass:The biggest factor on these for bassheads is that they will give you an ear massage if you want them to. I\'ve tested them hooked up to mobile, and it can get pretty bassy that way. But when I hook them up to my PC is when they really shine. There\'s no amount of bass that I can throw at them that seems too much for them to handle. Pretty sure I\'d mess my hearing up way before these things blew out. And that\'s crazy at this price range. Just to be clear here, I\'m talking so much bass that the headphones are physically moving on my head, with 0 loss of quality and no sign of them being stressed at all.I don\'t know why it can tend to be a frowned upon thing in the high-end audio community to seek out bass, but I love bass. Even aside from music, I like explosions to go boom boom. These go boom boom. If, like me, you\'ve been trying to find a pair of headphones that can handle high-quality classical music, while also getting into the trenches with a cannon, these are for you.Mids/highs:Yes, I know there is more to music than the low end. I hear concerns about the high end, but I haven\'t noticed any major problems. I will say that if it\'s an extremely high note at high volume, for example, the top few keys of a piano at high volume, it is a bit harsh. But for 99% of usages I can\'t imagine this being a problem. As I\'ve said, I listen to a lot of piano and classical music, and I\'ve not had any problems with them.These are still really great all-around performers, even with the crazy bass. That\'s what I love about them. These are not beats. They are fun and like to have a good time, but they know how to be serious when you want them to as well. Also as a bit of a side note here, I did an extensive demo on beats\' flagship offering. If you\'re torn... get these. Not even close.Build quality:These things are just top notch all around, especially for the price. Mostly metal construction, really nice padding. The only possible complaint I have for these, and it\'s kind of a big one, is the lack of removable cable. But I can look past it considering how much I love everything else about them.Sound stage:Again, these are not going to have the presence of something like the HD650. But for being closed, they sound good. I listen to classical on them and I enjoy it. I\'ll admit that if I was going to sit down and purely listen to classical for a while, I\'d opt for the 650\'s. If that\'s a deciding factor for you, take that into account.Fun:I can sit and talk about the technicalities of headphones all day, but the bottom line is that I just have so much fun with these headphones. I got rid of most of my headphones a couple of months ago as part of a big trade. I just decided to buy one pair for now that I\'ll use a lot, and I didn\'t give myself a real budget. I ended up picking these over the HD650\'s, again having owned both in the past. I think that alone speaks for these. The 650\'s are technically better on paper, but I just prefer these for most purposes, especially gaming.I can\'t imagine a situation where someone would regret owning these. I\'ve showed them to a lot of people and I\'ve never had anyone not be impressed. These are such a steal for their price.
• These are AWESOME headphones!! I love \'em!!! I use them with my iPod daily while I travel and these are more than up to the task!. The highs are crisp, the mids are stellar and the bottoms are solid! No one aspect of the sound is overpowered or underpowered. I listen to a variety of music; several sub-genres of rock & electronic, some R & B and, of course, good old-fashion funk. They compliment everything I run through them. My actual rating is 4.5 out of 5 stars and there are 3 things that cost these cans that 1/2 star:1) A detachable & thicker cable. Many of the reviews I read complained of the cable being to thin!! Admittedly, the cable is not as thin as I anticipated, but it could be a bit thicker. The cable, also, could be detachable. I have headphones that have removable cords. Some lock in place solidly and others it is a twist that locks the cable in place. Either way, a removable cable would be a great addition.2) A click-wheel for the bass control. Unless headphones (regardless of the brand) are used with a powered home unit (like a stereo), they need an extra boost. I use a portable amplifier to power my headphones. Even without an amplifier, one can still hear the BIG difference when adjusting the bass adjuster. The issue I have with the adjuster is even when bumping it slightly, it will move. If one has it at a desired level, just touching it will change the level. A click wheel would make the difference.3) These headphones are suppose to be closed-back which would minimize the amount of external sound you would hear. These sound more like open-back headphones which are great in a quieter environment, such as an empty room or a library, I use these during my commute and better insulation would block out more external noise.If the suggest issues were addressed, these simple adjustments would, in my opinion, give these headphones a 10 out of 5 star rating!!!! These issues aside, I would HIGHLY recommend the Sennheiser HD 630VB Headphones!! If you are going to spend the money, this is truly the way to go!!
• Amazing sounding headphone. Like many of us I do not have golden ears. But I have been listening to very good quality audio gear for so long that I can tell the difference between great, good and so/so sound. My dream is to audition one of those holy grail $200K systems in the right room, not usually found in Hotel room found in Audio shows (RMAF or Axpona, etc.). Coming back to topic at hand, my impression of the HD630VB. They sound like well put together Audiophile room systems with great electronics, floor standing speakers and a sub (I know some true audiophiles will stop reading right here) than a headphone, you do need to crank them with a headphone amp to hear their full potential and don\'t be afraid to turn that volume to max since it feels at home there producing class A audio reproduction without distortion or ear fatigue. After all this great review I still could not convince myself keeping them for mainly following reasons. They are heavier than I would prefer, staging is not as good since you still get the feel that most of sound is on top of your head (in all fairness this is my first high end headphone and I mostly listen to my room system so loud that I feel I am in a concert, so my ears might be trained differently) and last but not least is the short fixed cable like many have mentioned before. I was not going to take a chance with paying some ridiculous parts/labor to replace it if they break outside of warranty period. I am not going to get in too much details about VB since it is very controversial feature in a Audiophile headphone, other than saying it does make a difference with some tracks, but it is an additional point of failure. I hope someone from Sennheiser design team will read our reviews on this model and rectify the parts they can agree on with the rest of us with the exception of the cable that must be upgraded.
