Amazon.com Product Description
Both serious music fans and professional DJs--in fact, anyone who practically lives with a pair of headphones wrapped around his or her ears--will delight in the Sennheiser EH-150 hi-fi stereo phones. Suitable for professional monitoring applications but also appropriate for casual use, the phones' closed, supra-aural design delivers a superbly natural sound while blocking out ambient noise. The spatial sound reproduction lets listeners accurately hear even the subtlest tones in noisy environments--an ideal feature for clubs or studios. The noise-dampening function also makes the EH-150 a great choice for airplane, train, or bus travel, as the listener won't grow distracted by the roar of combustible engines. The phones owe their audio performance to the "turbine" embossed diaphragms, powerful neodymium magnets, and foam damping elements, which combine to ensure strong bass, well-defined mid ranges, and precise treble. In addition, the EH-150 phones are remarkably comfortable, with lightweight diaphragms and soft leatherette ear pads that feel snug whether you're entering the first or ninth hour of use. Additional features include a highly conductive OFC copper cable and a 1/4-inch adapter that fits atop the 3.5 mm stereo plug. The cable measures an impressive 10-feet long, giving listeners greater freedom of movement while still staying connected to the receiver. What's in the Box
EH-150 headphones, 10-foot copper cable, 1/4-inch adapter, user's manual.
Product Description
The eH 150 closed dynamic hi-fi stereo headphones are the ideal partner for powerful modern music, providing a high sound pressure level and a vivid, crisp bass response. Due to their effective attenuation of ambient noise, these headphones are particularly suitable for listening on the move.

 Awesome! October 21, 2005

I'll state up front that I am no audiophile, but I love music and I am pretty picky about how my music sounds. I ordered these so I can listen to some of my "parental advisory labeled" songs at work :) and let me tell you, for the price you'd be hard-pressed to do better. The sound is just awesome, I can't even find the right adjectives to describe it. Rich, full, textured, deep, etc. etc. You get the idea. I could pick up tiny details and even flaws in the music. I also found them to be very comfortable once I got them properly adjusted, but I will also say that I'm a girl, and my ears and head are probably smaller than a lot of guys' ears. I get headaches from anything that clamps my head too much or is too heavy, which is a problem with a lot of headphones. The EH-150s are light and rest on the head without being too tight, which is a huge plus for me.
Overall I would say they are totally worth what you are going to pay for them. To get much better than this, you'd have to go up considerably in price, and hey, some of us have other things to spend money on besides a $500 pair of headphones - like actual music to listen to. :) Get these cans!
At last I can hear the Music and not my neighbors car.... April 11, 2005

These cans are a great deal and the price is great as well. Saw them advertised for a much higher price elsewhere.
Sound quality is supberb for this range and the isolating ability of these phones is better than some very expensive units I have.
They are light weight and comfortable and maximize my minidisc listening. I enjoy nature tapes (just the sound) and classical music where there is a full range from high to low and these are handling it very well.
They are good on the road as I travel via bus and they help with hearing the music and not the traffic.
Very pleased and I own several other types of this brand but these fit the bill.
 Awesome sound... pity it's so uncomfortable.... October 4, 2005

This is my first review for an item I bought at amazon, even though I've been a custumer here since 1996. Here's why:
I bought the Sennheiser EH-150 personally depressed, while looking for a decent set of headphones after my $149,95 Sony VibraBass cracked up, which had an awesome sound. I wanted to try something new and decent without spending so much money, and I since have already tried several (more than 10 or 15, each one ++$100) headphone sets, with "Ok I'm pleased" result, I thought I had nothing to lose.
Let me tell you, Sennheiser EH-150 headphone produces the best sound I have ever heard in my life, whether if it's Mp3's, DVD's, iPOD's, whatever, and from what I have read on other reviews of better models from Sennheiser, I am currently thinking in saving up to get any of the 500 or 600 series. I tell you it's worth it, the sound is simply awesome. You actually hear stuff you never heard before or never thought of hearing. Isolates external sounds very impressively. Feels like you can listen to each one of the channels .
Now problem is (and this is why I write the review): Sennheiser designers must still think mankind is Homo erectus or Homo neanderthal, not Homo sapiens sapiens. The headset is small and uncomfortable for normal-sized ears, and believe me I read a lot on other websites, and when I purchased it, I thought "Oh well, maybe these are just people with big ears". Got it wrong. I'm a normal-sized ear human being and these headphones are the best and everything, but after 3 or 4 hours... your ears get really hurt, and you just can't put them back for another 3 hours.
Trust me:
If you have big ears... save and buy the Sennheiser 500 or 600 series. Probably better quality than this ones (I haven't test them but it's logical they should be better, and I would really like to listen), and your ears will fit.
If you have normal-sized ears... save and buy the Sennheiser 500 or 600 series. Probably better quality than this ones (I haven't test them but it's logical they should be better, and I would really like to listen), and your ears will fit.
If you have small ears. Buy this.
3 1/2 Stars, because it's very uncomfortable.
 Best bang for your buck May 26, 2006

I recently got these headphones, and I'm impressed. I was tempted to order the cheaper HD-201, but all the reviews I read indicated that the bass was sub-par. For the price, Amazon can't be beat (provided they don't raise it over 25).
I am not an audiophile, so my review is subjective and I will try my best to be as objective as possible. The quality of these cans really depends on what you will use it for. If you already have, and are already researching headphones, then it's more than likely that these headphones won't suit you. But, of course, you'll also have to pay more than double the amount of these headphones to approach the quality you may be looking for.
I've tried these cans over PC games, console games, CD audio, and MP3. If distracting others is an issue for you, and that is why you want headphones then this is the best bang for your buck, in my opinion. I've tried several kinds of noise cancelling earbuds (mainly for MP3), but I'd be reluctant to call any of them comfortable. I think it's just the physics of the design - earbuds are just uncomfortable for long periods of time. Most of them are designed to cancel out ambient noise, while stressing the cavity of your ears.
Anyways, these cans perform well in games and action-packed movies. If you're looking for a pair of phones with absolute clarity, look some where else. These cans really capture the extra "uuumph" that you won't find without blasting your stereo. For that reason alone, I consider this a smart buy. I also have a relatively large sized head and ears (being a guy), but these are perfectly comfortable for me.

Like some of the other low-raters, I found the ear cups of these cans to be to be very small -- too uncomfortable for me. Moreover, a quick listen let me know that the audio wasn't for me.
It's clear some of the 5-star reviewers here have never had closed-back circumaural (surround-the-ear) headphones. Yes, in general versus in-ear or lay-on-the-ear headphones, circumaural phones will dominate for:
* comfort
* blocking out noise
* producing better sound
* not annoying your neighbors.
Of course, all circumaural headphones are not equal.
I finally went with Sony MDR-V6's (not 600!), an affordable recording industry go-to design that has not changed since the 80's. The reviews on the MDR-V6 overflow with praise, with some reviewers having them in service for *decades*. You know you are onto something entirely different when the biggest complaint is that the (replaceable) ear pads start to wear/flake after many years. I had a pair of these which I lost after about 10 years service, and echo that praise. I was serendipitously surprised to discover they are still made. My new ones were $65-ish from Amazon, with free shipping. I think this is a remarkable price for a 20+ year lifespan product.
If you are still sold on the EH-150's, I just froogled them, and as of today, they can be had for $20-30.
A final shoutout to Ritz Camera, which sold me the EH-150's. When I called for a return, they refunded my card and said keep 'em. Wow.
